A VOWED LIFE OF LOVE
As Poor Clares in the Federation of Mary Immaculate, we are firmly and joyously committed to our vocation to be loyal daughters of the Church, in our enclosed life of prayer and sacrifice for the needs of all the world.
Prayer
Prayer is the very fabric of our lives, interwoven with manual labor and our daily hour of recreation, permeated throughout by our devotion to the Holy Eucharist, the source and summit of the Church's life, and the very heart of our monastic living.
Four Vows
The joyous poverty, radiant chastity, and humble obedience of Saint Francis and Saint Clare are the ideal in each of our individual communities, where we dwell enclosed, hidden with Christ in God.
Joyful Penance
In our humble, hidden daily tasks, we unite ourselves with the poor, who must work for their daily sustenance, and with the Blessed Virgin Mary, who cared with the greatest possible love for her family in their home at Nazareth.
And we cherish our traditional cross-form habit.
