Come and See Visit at the Monastery of the Poor Clares

We are cloistered, contemplative Poor Clares who follow the reform of St. Colette of Corbie. Our life is one of praise and adoration of God, as well as prayer and penance on behalf of the Church and the world. In the spirit of St. Francis and St. Clare of Assisi, we strive to foster a joyful community of charity, together with the sisters the Lord has given to us.

We profess three vows of poverty, chastity, and obedience, adding a fourth vow of enclosure as the ultimate expression of our total dependence on Divine Providence. Our vow of enclosure is a significant aspect of our charism as daughters of St. Clare, which we deeply cherish. Our monastic family may be comprised of both cloistered and extern sisters; externs do not take a vow of enclosure but are its special guardians as they care for the outside business of the monastery.
