    • The Lord set His heart on us and chose us out of love.

      Our Kokomo Poor Clare community was founded on March 6, 1959.
      Our united, joyful and grateful response is to
      "love Him totally who gave Himself totally for our love" (
      St. Clare). 
      We do this in our cloistered Gospel form of life at the heart
      of the Church and the world. In this way, we
      contribute, "with hidden apostolic fruitfulness,
      to the growth of the People of God".

      (St. John Paul II, Vita Consecrata # 8).

  • HAPPY, indeed, are those to whom it is Given:

      • in humble obedience to the Church
      • in joyful penance and poverty of spirit
