On 1 December, 2007, The St. Louis the King Fraternity of the Secular Franciscan Order accepted the profession of Secular Franciscans Andrea LeBlanc and Edward Gordon at a Mass in the Serra Chapel at Old Mission Santa Barbara, Fr. Richard McManus, O.F.M., presiding. (I thank Lyn Carmen for forwarding the photo above. I am responsible for the two immediately below.)

In addition, seven people participated in our Admission to Candidacy. Of these, four who had already been admitted, St. Dolores Steiner, Gordon and Dolores Harrel and Bert Pipit, were recognized, while Nancy Gillett, Margaret Lilly and Linda Nelson were newly admitted after inquiry. They can be seen in the photo below (for which I thank Lyn Carman) facing the reader.

Above, from left to right, are Gordon Harrah, Nancy Gillett, Dolores Harrah, Sr. Dolores Steiner, Bert Pipit, Maragaret Lilly, and Linda Nelson.
