The sanctuary space of St. Clare’s Roman Catholic Parish, includes a “mosaic above the high alters which shows St. Clare of Assisi raising the Blessed Sacrament, source of blessings and spiritual protection.”

One of the two Custodies of Our Lady of the Angels Province is the Blessed Agnellus of Pisa Custody, aka “The Greyfriars.” There are 24 friars of this Custody with four more friars of other jurisdictions (including Friar Giles Zakowicz, OFM Conv. of Our Lady of the Angels Province) serving in ministry with them, in seven cities in Great Britain and Ireland. In the Manchester, England area there are two friaries: All Saints Friary (Barton, Urmston) and St. Clare’s Friary (Higher Blackley). Served by Fr. Cãtãlin Ieremia (Jeremiah) Budău, OFM Conv., Fr. Colin Mary Edwards, OFM Conv. and Br Joe Fenton, more can be learned about the weekly calendar of the parish, by following the St. Clare’s R.C. Parish Facebook page, from which the photo in the post was taken.  On a side note, Friar Jeremiah also serves the Custody as a Definitor, and Friar Colin Mary also serves as the Custody’s Vicar.
