This weekend Mission San Luis Rey had the honor of having a first class relic of St Anthony brought here from Padua Italy. At 7am Mass in the Historic Church, Fr. Anthony blessed the people with the relic and then they lined up to venerate the relic and touch it with rosaries, holy cards and any item that is special to them; those items will then become third class relics. The St. Anthony relic will be available in the Historic church today until 4pm and at the Parish Church until after the 7pm Mass. Don't miss this special chance to see and venerate a first class relic from one of the most popular and venerated Franciscan Saints - St. Anthony, whose feast day we celebrated yesterday.
Are you looking for something fun to do this weekend? Come and join us at Mission San Luis Rey on June 13 and 14 for the 26th annual Inter-tribal Powwow with the San Luis Rey Band of Mission Indians. Enjoy the dancing and drumming as well as the great food and artisan booths with crafts and jewelry. Don't miss it! See the video for details.
May God bless and protect all those battling this fire on Camp Pendleton and our neighbors who are affected. Stay safe.
