Our Life

 

A Gospel Life                    A Life of Prayer                   Our Schedule

"The form of life of the Poor Sisters...is this:
bulletto observe the Holy Gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ
bulletby living in obedience,
bulletwithout anything of one's own,
bulletand in chastity."

            (Rule of Saint Clare of Assisi)


This is the same form of life that Poor Clares all over
the world still live today.

Each community is autonomous and adapts to the culture of the place where it is   established. There are external differences. Yet at the very heart of our lives, we are united in the spirit and Rule of Saint Clare.
