Assisi
Our founding home in Assisi is currently a nursing home run by the city. Some of our Sisters serve the elderly there. The arch that extends over the street was installed just before our Foundress’ death. This first house contains the stone mosaic on the floor of one room. It commemorates our Founder returning to Assisi definitively from Rome in 1725, the year he began many archival sources that we treasure today.
