Although our ministry of prayer takes place within the walls of the monastery, there are many ways in which we support our local community.  

​

    For the past 100 years, a fraternity of Secular Franciscans has been meeting monthly at St. Clare Monastery.  Their gathering begins with prayer in our monastery chapel and continues with formation in Franciscan spirituality and agape fellowship in the basement.These lay men and women are an integral part of our Franciscan family, as they strive to live the Gospel values of St. Francis in the world.
