TRAVEL OPPORTUNITY!
Bell’ Italia June of 2014 discover the regional traditions, the
unique sights and the vibrant culture of Italy. Venice’s canals make this
city like no other on Earth. In Florence, history and culture are one and
the same – the Renaissance Duomo symbolizes a major turning point in
Western civilization. The Roman Colosseum reminds us of the ancient
empire’s crucial role in shaping our world. Members of St. Francis of
Assisi Church and/or faculty members and friends of SFA School can
experience our Catholic faith by joining us on this trip and for the
Sunday Papal blessing in Vatican Square. Join us for an informational
meeting and more details about this exciting, eleven day adventure
with EF Educational Tours and led by Sandi Chando as we explore our
church history and Bell’ Italia! The itinerary will include Venice,
Florence, Assisi, Rome, Pompeii, and Capri and will include upgraded
meals and hotels. This trip is geared more toward adult travelers, but
students are welcome if traveling with a parent.
An informational meeting will be held on April 16th at 7:00 pm at Saint Francis School in Saint John Neumann Hall room 202. For more information, please contact
Sandi Chando or Stephanie Jones at [email protected] ;
