Ave Maria! br Recently, Friar Terrance had the privilege of visiting the ancient Franciscan convent of Bosco ai Frati (which literally translates as “the wood(s) of the friars”), located in the central part of Italy. The history of the convent is fascinating and very rich, as are the treasures contained within its walls, and we hope you'll enjoy this brief but interesting video of a famous convent which the Franciscan Friars of the Immaculate currently occupy.
