The relic of St. Clare at the Poor Clare Monastery

After yesterday's Welcome Mass and Veneration at the Sts. Peter and Paul Cathedral, the relic of St. Clare was brought to the Poor Clare Monastery in Barangay Rawis. A Mass was said at 4:00 pm and veneration was held from 5:00 pm to 12:00 midnight. A send-off mass presided over by the Bishop of Borongan was held at 5:00 am today. Here are some pictures which I managed to take last night.

As announced, the relic of St. Clare visited Calbayog City yesterday. The relic was met by the members of the Franciscan and the Poor Clare communities, the City Officials, and a good number of Calbayognons at the vicinity of the Calbayog airport. A standing parade welcomed the relic from Barangay Trinidad to the Sts. Peter and Paul Cathedral where Bishop Isabelo Abarquez presided over the Welcome Mass. Veneration followed before the relic was transferred to the Poor Clare Monastery.

Let me share some pictures which I took as the relic was welcomed at the Cathedral.
