Chiquitunga Posted April 14, 2013 Posted April 14, 2013 Ave Maria! AFAIK, the Poor Clares of the Immaculate celebrate the Traditional Latin Mass, as well as most of the Franciscan Sisters of the Immaculate, who by the way, after living the contemplative-active life for a period of time, can request permission to enter the contemplative branch of the Franciscan Sisters of the Immaculate. Ave Maria! An old member here visited them in Italy and posted this thread about them - http://www.phatmass.com/phorum/topic/89825-poor-clares-of-the-immaculate/ She says they do not have the Traditional Latin Mass, though are not unfriendly to it. Another member Rosa immaculata was also recently in coorespondance with the FI Sisters who also confirmed this, that the Poor Clares of the Immaculate do not have the Traditional Latin Mass .. though I cannot find her post on this. However I would guess they might over time, or probably do have it on occasion :like:

Yes the times are changing, and most of our US friaries have the EF sometimes, and some have it every day. Here in Griswold we just made the change to EF everyday, and are now using the 1962 breviary for the Divine Office as well. In Italy many have already changed over, and I do know that in Lanherne, England, the contemplative sisters currently have the EF Mass and breviary. I would make a strong guess that the Poor Clares of the Immaculate have changed or will change in the not too distant future. Doing the whole Traditional Latin Mass and Office seem to go well with the contemplative life. JMJ, fra John Paul
