So starting Tuesday September 1st I will post one of the remarkable relics and masterpieces that we the Knights of Saint Francis will be bringing to San Francisco in October.

The six week exhibition will be at the Cathedral of Saint Mary of the Assumption, at Gough and Geary Streets.

On September 16th, I will return to Assisi, Italia, to watch Masterpiece shippers crate the sacred relics and masterpieces that will be coming to our great City for the 800 year anniversary of Saint Francis' death and the 250th Birthday of our great City...how exciting is that?

On October 3rd, I will be sitting in the little Porziuncola in Assisi exactly 800 years from the night Saint Francis died there, in his little Porziuncola. I have waited for that night since I was 15 years old...Through the decades I never thought I would make it but voila..here I am ...going to be right in the place he died. He has been my best friend my entire life...and I have had a great life. Thank you Jesus!

We shall then come home on the 6th of October to greet the relics at the Cathedral and start unloading them. Im so excited.

I hope you all can join us on the incredible night of October 14th when we open the little museum that we are building in the cathedral for the relics and art masterpieces.

After that night there will be the exhibit and festivities for a full on 6 weeks, free for one and all...again I am so excited.

Here is the link...please join us..its going to be amazing!!!

Courage, passion and determination. It surely takes a great combination of these three virtues for each of us to take up a new project, especially one aimed at bringing positive change in the world.

I am applauding Angela M. Alioto and the Knights of Saint Francis for their outstanding efforts in sponsoring the creation of a new international song. Renowned Music Director Marco Frisina is the master mind behind the composition of this new song, which I was humbly asked to record with my voice, in five different languages.

Its world premiere will take place in Italy in October, followed by another performance in San Francisco on October 14th, on the occasion of the 800th anniversary of the entering into eternal life of Saint Francis of Assisi, Patron of Italy.
