In continuity with Francis's experience of encountering the Lord, the "Barbara Micarelli" Spirituality Center, just steps from the Porziuncola sanctuary, is an oasis of silence and retreat, where, drawing on the sources of Franciscan spirituality, it is possible to experience times of prayer and rediscover oneself in God's gaze.

Our Center began welcoming the Institute's Sisters for Spiritual Exercises: "The Sisters should be inspired by prayer and silence..." (Mother Foundress). In 1988, the entire school complex was renovated and subsequently opened to religious men and women, consecrated persons, for retreats, Chapters and Assemblies, or days of study and prayer.

In the shadow of the Porziuncola, at the foot of mystical Assisi, the Center is ideally suited to welcome all those who seek God and desire to experience a deeper encounter with Him. The spacious, functional, welcoming, and hospitable environment offers the best conditions for ensuring the climate of silence and recollection essential for listening to the Word of God and for personal reflection.
Together with the lay staff, the fraternity seeks to create a serene and welcoming family atmosphere, available to respond to every need of the guests so that "after the effort, the spirit can concentrate at the feet of Jesus ..." (Mother Maria Giuseppa Micarelli).

"Behold, I stand at the door and knock. If anyone hears my voice and opens the door, I will come in to him and eat with him, and he with me" (Rev. 3:20).
