Franciscans to gather to celebrate St Clare

On Sunday 5 August

the Franciscan Family (Sisters, Friars, SFO members) in Ireland

gathers at the the friary Multyfarnham, Co Westmeath

to celebrate the Year of St Clare.

It is 800 years since Clare left her home

on the night of Palm Sunday 1212

to join St Francis and his little group of brothers.

This was the beginning of what was to become the Poor Clare Order.

On this coming Sunday the gathering in Multyfarnham begins at 10.30am.

The day will include prayer, reflection on the charism of St Clare

and the Euchartist,  concluding about 5.00pm.

Franciscans of all sorts are very welcome!

Please bring a packed lunch – tea and coffee provided.
