Praised be You, My Lord,

Saint Francis is "an example par excellence of care for the vulnerable and of an integral ecology lived out joyfully and authentically"
Saint Francis "invites us to see nature as a magnificent book in which God speaks to us and grants us a glimpse of his infinite beauty and goodness"
On 28/09/2017, at the Ministry of the Environment, the General Custody of the Sacred Convent signed a memorandum of understanding with the Umbria Regional Environmental Protection Agency and with Sisifo Società Benefit, with the aim of creating a single sustainability project for the monumental complex that comprises the Upper Basilica, the Lower Basilica, the Sacred Convent and the Forest.
This sustainability plan – backed by Novamont since the planning stage -will regard all the activities of the Convent, starting from the life of the community of friars and comprising the welcome offered to pilgrims and the activities of the Basilicas of Assisi, with a view to identifying the best technologies and the most efficient, low-environmental-impact management approaches.
