{"product_id":"franciscan-friars-of-hebbronville-juan-jose-ibarra-9781467160728","title":"Franciscan Friars of Hebbronville","description":"The arrival of Franciscan friars of the Jalisco Province in Mexico escaping religious persecution in 1926 to Hebbronville, a rural community in South Texas, is an enduring story that still resonates in the hearts of many. Since then, Franciscans have been dedicated to the cultural, educational, and spiritual needs of Hebbronville and surroundings communities that have supported them over the years. \u003cbr\u003e One of the many remarkable contributions of the Franciscan legacy in Hebbronville is the Scotus College, a majestic four-story seminary building considered a Texas historic treasure and a preeminent local architectural landmark. This book is the pictorial account of these events that led a group of Franciscans to offer their lives, full of unwavering faith and boundless hope, to a community that embraced them. It is an inspiring story that becomes a lesson about love, devotion, and sacrifice in appreciation to the people of Hebbronville that helped persecuted Franciscan friars survive. \u003cbr\u003e  Fr. Juan Jose Ibarra, OFM, founder of the Franciscan Museum of Hebbronville whose archives have contributed to this book, has worked closely with the Archivo Histórico Franciscano de Zapopan in Mexico and the Jim Hogg County Historical Commission. He currently serves as pastor of Our Lady of Guadalupe Parish and guardian of the Franciscan Friary in Hebbronville, Texas.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Juan Jose Ibarra\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1467160725\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781467160728\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Arcadia Publishing (SC)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 07\/22\/2024\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 128\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback","brand":"Juan Jose Ibarra","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":45898763370751,"sku":"9781467160728","price":24.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_7275c6f7-a409-4e4d-98e6-dec2da6d4f6e.jpg?v=1721377047","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/franciscan-friars-of-hebbronville-juan-jose-ibarra-9781467160728","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
