WALKING THE VIA FRANCIGENA IN ITALY WITH FATHER TOM METZGER.
Fr. Tom, the Pastor of Our Lady of Grace Church in Noblesville, is interested in forming a group of 15 or more pilgrims to walk the final stages of the Via Francigena (“the French Route”), an ancient pilgrimage that concludes in Rome. The pilgrimage, which would take place in September/October 2020, would last 8 to 10 days and would cover a distance of between 100 and 180 kilometers (60-110 miles). The pilgrimage would include daily Mass and the accommodations would include 3-star hotels or their equivalent and some meals, depending on the plan which is adopted. Are you interested in such an adventure? This is still in the discussion stage, so contact Father Tom Metzger at [email protected] by the end of January 2020 for more information.
