Marian Program

THRUST
The driving force behind Assisi’s various programs is to give expression to a simple, tender love for our Queen, Mary, and the childlike faith and love for God in the spirit of St. Francis.

The Marian Program activities combine the three essential elements of true Marian devotion: Prayer, Service to the Poor, Study and the propagation of the Good News. It completes the wholeness of Assisi’s mission to serve as instruments in fulfilling the mission of Jesus Christ on earth.
