St. Clare 

Reflections From the Cloister 

News and Views 

Greetings! 

 

Our newsletter this month has a beautiful and prayerful reflection from Mother Chiara Laura Serboli, OSC - a Poor Clare Sister from Camerino, Italy. This time she has written on the life of Mary and silence. I have included a reflection on the life of St. Clare and her experience with charism and institution. We have updated information on upcoming pilgrimages and some words from Pope Benedict to the friars who gathered in Assisi in the second Chapter of Mats.

 

Some of our Fall pilgrimages are almost full. If you really want to come, please do not wait until the last minute, and send in your registration form now.

 

Fraternally, Bret Thoman, SFO
