Poor Clares Monastery Carlow
Share
Our form of life is to observe the Holy Gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ by living in obedience, without anything of one's own, in chastity and in enclosure
The Poor Clares are living in Graiguecullen, Carlow for over 100 years. In the late 1800's the Bishop Dr. Foley made his first visit to the Vatican in Rome. Hardly had he come into the presence of his Holiness when Pope Leo XIII enquired if there was a contemplative order in his diocese. The Bishop replied there was a community of enclosed Poor Clares but they were not properly established yet. "Establish them and be good to them" said the Holy Father. If you are considering joining our order, please contact us for further information. You can email us at [email protected]
