the Holy Land, at the Convent of St Francis of Assisi from 1 st July to 24 th August, has
taken on a particular meaning this year for the Franciscan Centre of the parish.

the Holy Land was the central topic of the camp.
The logo of the Jubilee printed on the T shirts of the young participants’ uniforms
clearly shows its importance.

… and also artistic and practical workshops, on travel and many other games
designed for the young guests.
