San Rufino's history dates back to the 8th century. It is the main place of worship in Assisi, the city of peace. 

The organ repair US Fund will support the restoration of two organs to enable the Schola Cantorum of the Cathedral to continue performing concerts.

The project involves the restoration and arrangement of the two organs of the Cathedral, in particular the major organ (in the photo). Both organs need to be cleaned and retuned in order to function and to allow the Schola Cantorum of the Cathedral to be able to continue to perform concerts and the young students of the Perugia Music Conservatory to perform. The restorer is Maestro Valentini who also in 1997 took care of fixing the major organ after the earthquake.

The second organ is used for everyday celebrations. It is a smaller organ but damaged by wear and tear. The nuns of our cathedral use it to animate the celebrations.

The cathedral is the place where the Bishop celebrates, so we need to put these organs in order to ensure a good quality of the liturgy. The technical details of the interventions on the two bodies can be found in the attached file.

History of San Rufino, the Cathedral of Assisi:

San Rufino the first Bishop of Assisi, who was martyred by the Romans in 238 AD. It wasn't until the 8th century that his remains were transferred from the original burial place, to the "Parva Basilica"  built over the Roman temple of "Cupra/Mater" (4the century BC).

Two Hundred years later after a dispute between Bishop Ugone and the faithful of Assisi a new church was built over this site. "Magnum Ecclesiam" was then named the Cathedral of the city in 1035.

In the year 1134 the Chapter of the canons of San Rufino, presided over by the Prior Raniero, decided to demolish the Ugonian Basilica and to build a new and more imposing cathedral. A plaque walled up outside the apse recalls that the works for the new church, carried out on a project by the master Giovanni da Gubbio, were started in 1140. Due to much civil discord between the city factions and conflicts with neighboring cities slowed down the progress of the construction site considerably. Finally in 1212 the bones of St. Rufino were moved to the presbytery, while the altar was consecrated in 1228 by Pope Gregory IX and only in 1253 Innocent IV consecrated the entire church.

In 1566 the Canons commissioned the Perugian architect Galeazzo Alessi to take care of the renovation of the interior: the works began on 18 June 1571 and lasted until 1585.

Since then there have been several additions and improvements during the 17th and leading into the 18th centuries. In 1834 the Eucharistic Chapel was adorned in the classical baroque style and in 1841 the "Martinelli" Organ built by Antonio and Francesco Martinelli was added.

A Major element of the Cathedral is the baptismal font. In the font Saint Francis, Saint Clare, Saint Agnes (Clare's Sister), and many of the early followers of Francis were baptized. Saint Gabriel of Our Lady of Sorrows and The Holy Roman Emperor Fredrick II, were also baptized here.

The Fondation pour le musée d'art et d'histoire du Judaïsme (Pro mahJ), in Paris, was created in 2003 on the initiative of Claire Maratier, daughter of painter Michel Kikoïne (1892-1968), to promote the work of artists from the École de Paris and mobilize its resources in support of the mahJ.

Street Life Ministries (or SLM) began in 2001 at the downtown Menlo Park train station. Today, due to the help of many people, it now serves over 35,000 meals a year, five nights a week, in Menlo Park, Palo Alto and Redwood City. For 20 years SLM gatherings have built a reputation as the one consistent place the homeless can count on. Whether it is a holiday, a cloudy or rainy day, SLM never varies from the set schedule, giving the homeless a stable option throughout the year.

_____

SLM is an established 501(c)(3) non-profit organization with a board of directors, and is very different from many “feeding ministries.” It serves a unique role in the way it cares for the homeless and the hungry in San Mateo/Santa Clara Counties. Hot, home cooked meals served in outdoor venues are less threatening for our homeless neighbors, fostering a safe environment for relational connections to develop with the SLM leaders and volunteers. These connections build trust for guiding homeless friends toward healthier decisions, medical assistance, detox, rehab, housing, mentorship and counseling. In addition to food and encouragement, SLM provides clothing, toiletry kits, sleeping bags, medical supplies, temporary shelter, recovery services and job assistance to those in need. 

SLM is also unique because it places its staff and its services “in the streets”, and “in the camps”, where the homeless live. It reaches more homeless people directly in those street locations than traditional professional service agencies. Additionally, no other homeless non-profit in the area provides local residents with the large number (over 6000 hours per year, estimated) of volunteer hours of opportunity to meet directly and be served on a face to face basis as we do. Homeless folks need love, care, trustworthy friends, and reliable, regular support to improve and/or recover. SLM is “in the trenches and on the street” every day, helping our homeless neighbors. SLM’s outreach can be accessed at all hours of the day and night. 

Street Life is working on launching a 12 month all inclusive rehab program, the Homeless to Healthy program. Check our website for more details!

Jews, Christians, Muslims uniting to serve the poor.

Abrahamic Alliance International unites Jews, Christians, and Muslims for poverty relief and active peacebuilding. We began with a simple dream that compassionate collaboration between Jews, Christians, and Muslims can build lasting bridges of understanding and respect between our communities. By uniting to serve the poor in obedience to divine commands, our grassroots movement is showing the world that peaceful coexistence between Jews, Christians, and Muslims is not a naive and distant dream, but a growing and present reality here and now.

We envision a world where children of Abraham unite to save lives; where Jews, Christians and Muslims enjoy peaceful coexistence and mutual appreciation as our faith is deepened by meaningful encounters with each other; where understanding, humility and respect replace ignorance, arrogance and contempt; where diverse yet faithful worshipers of the God of Abraham move beyond dialogue to cooperative action, loving our neighbor together until the hungry are fed, the naked are clothed, the sick receive care and the orphan is raised with love, compassion and generosity. We envision a world where God's faithfulness to bless all nations through Abraham's offspring is expressed in wonderfully new and creative ways through Jews, Christians and Muslims striving to obey all that the prophets have spoken.
