The green season has now arrived! The natural beauty of Assisi Heights is dressed up. Now is the opportune time for an environmental pilgrimage-on-foot strolling through the Temple of Nature. The serpentine road carves its way past a colossal cut of limestone to expose a wall creating the hilly topography of Assisi Heights. We will discuss the history of the land, conservation easement, and environmental land practices. We will explore prairies, solar panels and other issues.

Sister Marlys Jax will give an overview of the years of various environmental practices at Assisi Heights. Wear comfortable shoes and bring a walking stick if you so desire. In the event of inclement weather, the session may be rescheduled. Please check for updates prior to the session.

Events taking place outdoors will be held in Assisi Heights Canticle Park & the surrounding grounds. Please park in the Canticle Park parking lot & join the group in the grassy area. We are open for limited sponsored events. Please refrain from attending if experiencing any symptoms of COVID-19 or other illness or have been exposed to any persons infected with COVID-19.
