What does a Franciscan Community do to celebrate a feminine follower of St. Francis who is remembered for her ability to see Mass from the then new Basilica of St. Francis on the wall of her dormitory -at a time before the invention of television ( or streaming video or lcd projectors)? On this August 11, 2011 feast of St. Clare of Assisi (aka patron of good weather, embroiderers, eye disease, television, etc.) Franciscan Sisters of Christian Charity announce a new blog Sierra Vista Sister-Franciscan that shares the new adventure of our latest place of ministry.
During this 800th Anniversary Year of St. Clare celebrating the beginning of her life as a follower of St. Francis of Assisi, Franciscan Sisters of Christian Charity announce a new Sierra Vista Sister-Franciscan Blog that highlights the first adventures of our Sisters at Our Lady of the Mountains Parish, Sierra Vista, AZ.
