Our Story
The Friends of the Poor Clares Foundation originated from a group of dedicated local businessmen who sought to support the Poor Clare Sisters. Their journey began with a project to install a wheelchair lift and elevator at the monastery, ensuring accessibility for all. This initial success inspired further collaboration, as the businessmen learned of the Sisters' financial struggles due to their vow of poverty. In 2004, the foundation was formally established to provide essential support, ensuring the Sisters could continue their vital ministry of prayer and compassion.
