The Pilgrims of St. Francis are an international, ecumenical pilgrimage movement seeking peace.

Every year we go on pilgrimage somewhere in Europe. In groups of about 20 people, of all ages, from many European countries, we walk in the countryside for nine days in the spirit of Francis of Assisi, preparing our meals together, staying overnight in very simple accommodation and sharing our faith.

On the way we talk about our responsibilities to society and for the environment, about peace and justice and other issues that concern us. Singing, playing, laughter and adventure are also part of our way.

For more than 90 years we have tried to develop a better understanding of each other, and to practice tolerance so that we can be more understanding and tolerant in our daily live.

Come walk with us !
