Thousands troop to view St. Clare’s relic

CITY OF SAN FERNANDO — Thousands of faithful and believers trooped Thursday to the Metropolitan Cathedral in this city to get a glimpse of the relic of St. Clare.
At past 9 a.m., the relic was accepted by Archbishop Paciano Aniceto and members of the Pampanga Clergy in a High Mass, signaling the revered Saint’s stay in Pampanga for at least two days, highlighted by an overnight vigil, before the pilgrim relic moves to Bataan.

St. Claire’s relic
Aniceto told the crowd that Pampanga is very privileged to be visited by the patron saint of television, childless couples and of the poor.
St. Clare’s relic has a portion of her skull (cranium) enclosed in a cross-shaped reliquary.
After the mass, it was exposed to public veneration until mid-afternoon, before it was brought to a monastery in Betis, Guagua, where an overnight vigil will be held.
The relic just came from Cebu, Davao, Cagayan de Oro, Iligan, Dumaguete and Iloilo and then will move to other points in Luzon.
The relic’s Philippine visit is part of the year-round 800th year celebration of the founding of the Order of St. Clare (OSC) that ends this October.
St. Clare was declared a patron saint of television on February 17, 1958 by Pope Pius XII. She had miraculous visions of and heard the mass from the confines of her room when she was too ill to attend church worship.
Clare died in Assisi on August 11, 1253 and was canonized after two years. She is also patroness of telephones, telegraphs, embroiderers, and of those with eye ailments, aside from being the icon of refuge for childless couples and the champion of the poor.
