Communities of Poor Clares

The Communities of Poor Clares are groups of women religious who follow the spiritual path established by Saint Clare of Assisi in the 13th century. They dedicate their lives to prayer, contemplation, and a simple, communal lifestyle rooted in poverty and service. These communities are characterized by their commitment to living modestly, often in monastic settings, and supporting one another through shared devotion. Their primary focus is spiritual growth, trust in divine providence, and serving others through prayer and humility, embodying a life of devotion rooted in Franciscan values.
