The Community offers Monastic Experience Days designed for women who are interested in exploring the contemplative life within a monastic community. These special days provide an opportunity to discover more about the daily rhythm of prayer, work, and community life as lived by the Poor Clares. The day is also very helpful if you are discerning whether a monastic vocation might be right for you.
Participants typically join the sisters in their liturgical prayer (the Divine Office), spend time in silent prayer and reflection, and learn about the unique charism and history of the Poor Clare Order. There are also opportunities for informal conversation with the sisters, as well as times for questions and guidance in discernment.

Christ on the cross bows His head,
Waiting for you,
That He may kiss you;
His arms are outstretched,
That He may embrace you,
His hands are open,
That He may enrich you;
His body spread out,
That He may give Himself totally,
His feet are nailed,
That He may stay there,
His side is open for you,
That He may let you enter there.
