Founders Day is an event that focuses on the founding of the City of San Antonio. It is always a lot of fun! I like to think of it as a Folklife Festival but with a history lesson.
This year the Archives joined for the first time ever!
We shared a table with Mat Martin from the Oblate's Archives and it was terrific. The turn out was great. We had many people stop by our table to learn about Santa Rosa and the founding of our Congregation.
Here I am 'posing' with the materials we brought - next year we will have our own table and I will bring many more artifacts!
The day was a little warm but with the tent we borrowed from Angel 'the assistant archivist' Lane's mother, it was perfect.
The morning's musical event by the University of the Incarnate Word's choir inside San Fernando Cathedral was very moving.
The crowd was very large and kept us very busy!There will be a full article on the event with more pictures in the November issue of the CCVI Congregational newsletter.
Thanks to Angel and her mom for lending us the tent.
A special thanks to all the sisters who made it downtown for the event.
Sr. Consuelo and Sr. Norma Rosa
stopped by our table to say hi.
You're very welcome for the use of the tent!
