The Poor Clare Sisters

The Poor Clare Sisters are members of a religious order founded in 1253 by Saint Clare of Assisi, inspired by Saint Francis of Assisi. They dedicate their lives to prayer, contemplation, and poverty, living a cloistered (contemplative) existence within their monastery. Their daily routine emphasizes prayer, meditation, and manual work, with a focus on spiritual development and service through intercession. Committed to simplicity and humility, they aim to live closely connected to Jesus Christ’s life, prayerfully supporting the wider Church and world.
