    • 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).

    • Spending Advent with Our Lady
      November 30
      Life is like Advent—a time of preparation to let all God’s glory through.  It is also a time of expectation and longing—often waiting in darkness—preparing for the enchantment of lights, gifts to be given and received, and gatherings with loved ones.  Advent is a season of preparation for Christmas, but even moreso a season to dispose our hearts to welcome Jesus in all the ways He comes to us.
