Teresa Tomeo hosts in Italy, walking in the footsteps of Francis.
Looking to learn more about St. Francis during this Jubilee Year of St. Francis of Assisi?
Discover “The Unknown St. Francis of Assisi” in a new “EWTN Learn” series, hosted in Italy by Teresa Tomeo: from the places that shaped his mission 800 years ago — where he heard God’s call to conversion, served lepers, tamed a wolf in Gubbio, received the wounds of Christ, and established the Nativity scene in Grecco — to insights into his lasting legacy.
Traverse the “The Land of Saints” with Tomeo, starting in Santa Maria degli Angeli (St. Mary of the Angels) to see the little church, the Little Portion Church (the Portiuncula), near Assisi where Francis began his ministry.
“St. Francis brings us back to the basics of the faith,” Tomeo says, adding, “He teaches us about the importance of the Eucharist, about the Incarnational Lord, and he loved Jesus so much that he not only wanted to rebuild the Church spiritually, but physically as well.”
Spoleto is where Francis was sidelined by illness and had a dream: “Follow the Master rather than the man.”
