The St. Patrick Study Club of St. Francis of Assisi Parish met on April 25 at the home of Dee Dunham with six members present. President Karen Giarratano presided over the business meeting which opened with the prayer of St. Patrick.

Connie Stansberry provided an excellent program on her pilgrimage to Italy. She told of visiting Assisi, Siena, Tuscany, Orvieto and other areas related to St. Francis, St. Catherine, St. Dominic and others. Her trip ended in Rome and Vatican City with highlights being St. Peter’s Square and the Sistine Chapel.

The group then enjoyed social time, with dessert provided by Mildred Stubbs. The next meeting will be a salad luncheon on May 24 at the home of Giarratano.
