We would like to invite you to attend our annual series of Masses, invoking the intercession of Saint Clare, which will be celebrated in our chapel on August 8, 9, & 10, at 7:00 P.M.

The Presider and Homilist will be Fr. Michael Ramos, OFM Cap.

If you are unable to attend the Triduum, please send us your intentions and we will include them in each Mass.

On August 11th, we will celebrate the Solemnity of St. Clare at 11:00 A.M.  Won’t you join us for this special Mass in her honor ? All are welcome.

On June 6th, the Feast of the Immaculate Heart of Mary, we received Kimberly Todd as a member of our community.  On this special day we invested her with the plain and simple habit of the Poor Clares with a rope for her waist.  Her shining white veil is a temporary one as she prepares for the day she will exchange it for a black one   – the day she makes vows for life.   Kimberly received a new name to signify the new beginning of her journey into God.  Now she is Sister Chiara Lucia of the Queenship of Mary.

Please read the poem below by one of our sisters.

Happy St. Patrick’s Day!

May your blessings outnumber

The shamrocks that grow

And may trouble avoid you

Even in snow …..

After turning our clocks back last week, hoping for warmer weather, but finding ourselves in a winter wonderland, we share some photos of our garden’s winter “snow joys”:

It’s all so beautiful!
