The Celebrants at our Feast of Saint Clare-Sunday Night
Frair Rick Martignetti OFM presided over the two days in honor of Saint Clare. He gave a beautiful homily on August 10th on Clare’s idea of looking into the mirror and seeing Jesus Crucified and than instead of putting on rings and fancy clothes to put on the virtues that Jesus endorses, humility, compassion and love.
For the Mass Sunday, Friar Rick, spoke about being present to what really matters so that we have a transformation and come to know Jesus more closely. Present also in the picture left to right is, Friar Rick, Fr. Brennan Joseph OFM Conventual Staten Island and Guardian, Fr. Ray Lennon, SVD and former Provincial of the SVD’s, Fr.

Feast of Saint Clare- August 11th
Go in peace, because you will have a good escort. The One Who created you has already provided that you will be made holy. The One Who created you has infused the Holy Spirit in you and then guarded you as a mother does her littlest child”
