Feast Day of St. Clare: Mini Retreat and Day of Reflection
The San Juan Capistrano fraternity of the Secular Franciscan Order spent the day with other brother sisters enjoying the topic of Satin Clare as told to us by Deacons Joe and David. As a special treat we got to hear the story of the Poor Clare Missionary Sisters of the Blessed Sacrament as told by Sr.Blanca Lopez. The Sisters brought with them two relics.... one with both St.s Francis and Clare and another with only St. Clare. Later mass was held in the historic Serra Chapel with celebrant Fr.
