Saint Mary of the Angels

Have you ever wondered why the Franciscan Friars in Singapore look after the Church of St Mary of the Angels rather than the Church of St Francis of Assisi? 🤔

The chapel of St Mary of the Angels in Assisi was significant in the life of St Francis. He not only found his vocation in the chapel, but also spent the final days of his life there. As we celebrate the feast of the Saint Mary of the Angels today, find out how St Mary of the Angels became the patroness of the Franciscan Order and how some parts of history have transcended time.
