I recently found these 2 new websites on Poor Clare Colettine nuns - well new to me. I hadn't looked at other PCCs communities other than the Cleveland, OH PCCs so I hadn't seen these yet. So in case they are new to others:

Roswell, New Mexico PCCs - http://www.poorclaresroswell.com/

Minooka, IL PCCs (founded from Rockford, IL) - http://www.poorclaresjoliet.org/index.php

wonderful! These are new sites - I was wondering if Roswell would ever put up a website - that is the community of which Mother M. Francis was one of the early foundresses (A Right to be Merry is a great book)

Wow! These are beautiful! Thanks Mary! Yeah, the Poor Clares in Chicago came from Roswell, http://chicagopoorclares.org/ or actually, Roswell came from Chicago when they had to close, and then they made a new foundation in Chicago at Cardinal George's request. I love the Joliet Poor Clares too

Thank you for sharing these very informative sites with first class photography with us. I particularly like the photo of the cutting of the new novice's hair............ she looked very happy and portrayed soooooooo much joy at that moment.

I've read A right to be Merry, and it's a great book!
I agree, their a great community! I just don't know how they can stand the heat in New Mexico with their habits....

by grace.

Now I understand the UFO's over Roswell!!! They must be attracted to the energy of the Monastery!

Seriously,
It is a beautiful site!

Lol!

I corresponded briefly with Mother Mary Francis of Roswell. I think these Poor Clares give such a wonderful witness, especially in our age of worldiness.
