"Let the sisters to whom the Lord has given the grace of working work faithfully and devotedly... in such a way that, while they banish idleness, the enemy of the soul, they do not extinguish the Spirit of holy prayer and devotion to which all other things of our earthly existence must contribute."-RULE OF ST. CLARE



O
ur Day is set into a traditional monastic framework of prayer and work.  Holy Mass and Liturgy of the Hours are the anchor of our day.  Outside these times, there is seldom a dull moment inside the cloister.  We engage in all the ordinary tasks of life in a spirit of sisterly sharing, joy and peace.
