can College of Sant’ Isidoro for Mass. Settle into the hotel for
a Welcome Dinner including a choice of beverages and a well-
deserved night of rest. Overnight in Rome. (Special Dinner)
October 15 DAY 3: ROME – PAPAL AUDIENCE

Lateran and the Holy Stairs. We visit the Coliseum and see the
major monuments of Rome including visit inside, Piazza Vene-

na, where the scheduled day ends. Dinner is on your own.

October 17 DAY 5: ROME-RIETI VALLEY-ASSISI Saint Francis loved the Rieti Valley which he made his
home along with Assisi and La Verna. Since then, this
splendid plain amidst the hills and mountains has been known
as the Sacred Valley. You visit medieval Rieti with its
palaces and churches and Greccio, known to the world as
the Franciscan Bethlehem. It was here, in the winter of 1223,
that St. Francis thought of commemorating the Birth of the
Infant Christ at the approach of the Feast of the Nativity, and
on Christmas Eve night, the world saw its first Crib with an
ox and an ass standing round a manger where the priest
celebrated the Mass. We celebrate Holy Mass here. Continue
to Fonte Colombo known as the Franciscan Sinai,
it was here in 1223 that St. Francis received the final Rule of
the Friars Minor from Christ. Overnight in Assisi. (B.D.)
