Saint of the Day - St. Clare
Fr. Jack Hurley speaks on the memorial of St. Clare, celebrated on August 11. As he notes, St. Clare is portrayed in the panoply of Franciscan saints in the mosaic in our St. Anthony Chapel, not far from her beloved Saint Francis, who guided her founding of the Poor Clares. Pope Pius XII in 1958 named her patron of television!
