Share Our Journey

Share the journey of the Poor Clares.

We welcome young women between the ages of 20 and 40 who desire to share our journey in the joyful family spirit of our Holy Father Francis and our Holy Mother Saint Clare. Good physical health, emotional stability and a high school education are necessary requirements.

Poor Clare and bishop.

Most important is a good will and a spirit of sacrifice together with the firm determination to give whatever is necessary to gain this Pearl of Great Price and to remain faithful until death. We secure this pearl by our four vows of poverty, chastity, obedience and enclosure.

For those who are seriously interested we offer a live-in experience of our way of life.


Poor Clares of Joliet, IL.

PRAYER

MY JESUS, Here is my tongue that You may watch over it; that it may not utter more than pleases You; and that my silence may speak to You. Here are my ears that they may listen only to the voice of duty; and to Your Voice, O Jesus! Here are my eyes that they may not cease to behold You in every face and in every work. Here are my hands and my feet that You may make them agile, that they may be riveted to Your service alone, to the execution of Your desires. Here are my thoughts that Your Light may possess them. Here is my heart that Your Love, O Jesus! may reign and rest in it.
