Last Saturday, May 4, the Ordination and Consecration of Bishop Coadjutor Austin Kieth Rios as 9th Bishop of the Diocese of California. Jean and Pamela Clare had good seats at the front in the handicap accessible area, at least until the photographers stood up right between us and the action. Here is one of my long distance shots of the mysterious circle of bishops at the consecration. More information and photos on Diocal.org. And a link to the official shots 196599795@N04/albums/72177720316787609/" rel="ugc" target="_blank">https://www.flickr.com/photos/196599795@N04/albums/72177720316787609/

International SSF (First & Third Orders) Chapter just north of London in September. Pamela Clare and Thomas represented the Province of the Americas First Order. We had a field trip to a local mosque very involved in Interfaith affairs. We weren't told ahead of time, so most of the women didn't have head coverings. Here is our group picture with Pamela wearing her shirt on her head!

Sr. Pamela Clare back to work again! No massage with Care Through Touch (for homeless, poor and marginalized people) from March 2020 to June 2021. And since then, off again, on again, depending upon the Virus. However, things are really beginning to open up now and we can again be "in touch" with those suffering within the swollen ranks of the homeless, addicted, and mentally ill. Our Tenderloin neighborhood has made national headlines with the opioid overdoses and prominent tent encampments. So much work to be done here!
