Santa Juana Jugan




I had a really neat experience today. I went down to the Cathedral, and happened upon a mass in honor of the recent cannonization of Santa Juana Jugan.  Normally, mass in the Cathedral is in one of the little side chapels, but today it was held at the main altar.  The archbishop of Sevilla celebrated the mass, along with about 20 other priests; they had a relic of Santa Juana, and about 30 nuns from the Hermanitas de los Pobres (which is the order that she founded) attended as well. They had a great choir to accompany the beautiful organ music - it was quite an inspiring event!
