images from the Feast of St. Clare and the Transitus

Bishop Isabelo Abarquez presided over the Pontifical Mass at the Poor Clare's Monastery this morning. That mass was said in observance of the feast of St. Clare. Let me share some pictures from the said celebration. I got these courtesy of Joselo Co of Studio 8.

Among the mass sponsors was Mayor Mel Sarmiento whose birthday falls on the Feast of St. Clare. He is seen here kissing the Bishop's hand during the offertory.

On the eve of the feast, a Transitus was performed by the City's scholars at the Monastery's Chapel. Here are some images from the said presentation (also courtesy of Joselo Co):
