Knights of Saint Francis

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.

From the very beginning of her journey, Kamilah has never been alone. She’s been surrounded by kind hearts, quiet prayers, encouraging words, and people from all over the world who chose to believe in her.

If you’re here, following her story, cheering her on, or simply finding a little hope in her journey… you’re part of something special now. You’re part of the 𝗙𝗿𝗶𝗲𝗻𝗱𝘀 𝗼𝗳 𝗞𝗮𝗺𝗶𝗹𝗮𝗵. 🤍

Starting this week, we’ll be sharing a new question every week to get to know the beautiful people behind this community — the hearts, stories, and lives that make Kamilah’s miracle even more meaningful.

So let’s begin. 𝗛𝗼𝘄 𝗵𝗮𝘀 𝗞𝗮𝗺𝗶𝗹𝗮𝗵’𝘀 𝘀𝘁𝗼𝗿𝘆 𝗵𝗲𝗹𝗽𝗲𝗱 𝗴𝗶𝘃𝗲 𝗵𝗼𝗽𝗲 𝘁𝗼 𝘆𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗹𝗶𝗳𝗲? ✨

Thank you soooo much Marco Sassone!!!

We absolutely love the painting.It's been on the cover of all of the Knights of Saint Francis's materials since 2005, I remember when it was painted in 1999 for the opening of the National Shrine of Saint Francis.

We are so excited to have the original signed painting.

Thank you so much, Marco, we love it!

And Thank you Rodney for hanging it up for me!

It was so wonderful to welcome 11 new Knights of Knights of Saint Francis last Wednesday . This is the 800 year of Saint Francis, a Holy Year proclaimed by Pope Leo last year. A very special year for all Franciscans and all lovers of the Environment, Animals, Peace and Heathcare.

So excited for this year!!!
