About Gwen

I’m Gwen Wiseman, aka @GwenofAssisi, a former UK-based professional who left the corporate world to follow a call to deeper prayer, simplicity, and service in Assisi, Italy.

For the past seven years, I’ve lived in this sacred town, serving as Music Director for the English Masses at the Papal Basilicas of San Francesco and Santa Maria degli Angeli. I also work with the Diocese of Assisi on international projects, including relic missions for Blessed Carlo Acutis in the UK and Ireland.

I'm the author of two devotional books (Pray the Rosary with Blessed Carlo and Living Lent with Blessed Carlo) and lead Catholic retreats and spiritual pilgrimages, helping others encounter God through the peace and witness of the saints of Assisi.

Via Assisi is my way of sharing that calling — offering space for prayer, reflection, and spiritual renewal in one of the most beautiful and grace-filled places on earth. 

Thank you for being here. I hope this space helps you walk your own journey with greater stillness, faith, and joy.

"Not I but God"

Blessed Carlo Acutis
