Sisters of St. Clare; Companions in Prayer |

We are a community of contemplative Catholic women called Poor Clare Nuns, also known as Sisters of St. Clare. We continue the ministry of St. Clare of Assisi, who shared the Gospel of Jesus Christ and the healing power of prayer with others.

We devote our life primarily to prayer; we seek to know the presence of God in our lives and to bring others closer to God through our prayer. That is why we want to be Companions in Prayer with you. Please join with us in our prayer.

Sister Bernie celebrates 75 years as a sister! See more videos HERE		This Week’s Sunday Journal by Fr. Kelly The Extraordinary in the Ordinary July 27, 2014 17th Sunday in Ordinary Time MT 13:44-52 This 17th Sunday of Ordinary Time, offers us the last in a series of parables which Jesus uses to give us a sense of The Reign, or the Kingdom of God. In fact, He frequently used the ordinary, the familiar, the common place, to help better acquaint us with the Extraordinary, The Sacred Mystery, The Transcendent God. In this way, The Lord helps us to see that God is with us in the “here and now” and yet there is far more that awaits us when we at last break free, from time and begin to exist in eternity.

There are no easy answers in the parables. Those who heard always had to say to themselves, “What do these words mean? How do they relate to my life?” Read More HERE Read responses to our newsletters HERE		Events: Sr. Dianne, Fr.
