Led by: Fr. Joe Schwab OFM

Bonaventure Hall — Old Mission Santa Barbara

Join us on Sunday, August 16, following the 11:00 a.m. Mass, for a fascinating presentation by Fr. Joe about St. Clare of Assisi.

Many people know St. Clare as the founder of a cloistered community, but few realize the remarkable influence she had on the Franciscan movement and the life of the Church. Her hidden life has often led to the mistaken assumption that her impact was limited. Nothing could be further from the truth.

In this engaging presentation, Fr. Joe will uncover the seemingly small details of Clare's life that, when viewed together, reveal a woman of extraordinary courage, conviction, and spiritual insight. Guided by the Holy Spirit, she forged a distinctly feminine, independent, and deeply Christian path that continues to inspire believers today. Modern scholarship is bringing renewed attention to St. Clare's profound contributions to the Church and Franciscan spirituality. Come discover why her role in Church history deserves far greater recognition and how her witness can inspire anyone seeking to live the Gospel with faith, courage, and joy
