Restore Our Home:
In the Spirit of Saint Francis
Restore Our Home:Capital Giving Campaign
Imagine a world without temples, without churches, without sacred space. Saint Francis of Assisi revered such places because he knew that they were reservoirs of peace, silence and healing. Without them, Francis understood that our world would easily slip into despair. The Assisi Institute is an important force for unity in a world torn by division. Our spiritual home is a welcoming place of peace, and in Yogananda’s words, “a hive of Divine honey…” and it is in urgent need of physical repair. If you appreciate the role of The Assisi Institute, and the effect it has had on your life, or the lives of others, I humbly urge you to make a tax-deductible donation to our capital fund campaign. Your contribution will help restore and strengthen our physical home and support our collective mission.
–Isha Das (Craig Bullock), Spiritual Director
