We are a community of Catholic sisters known as the "Poor Clares." Our official name is the "Order of St. Clare" ("OSC"). We are the contemplative branch of the Francisan Family founded by St. Clare of Assisi in 1212. We share our life of prayer with all of you.

As Poor Clares, we profess the usual religious vows of poverty, chastity and obedience, plus the vow of enclosure. In our Vision Statement, we express what we feel is our particular way of living Poor Clare life in this 21st century.
