“Steadfast in faith, forward in hope” was the motto of St. Clare of Assisi. She was quoted as saying, “We are to become vessels of God’s compassionate love for others.” She left her life of worldly wealth to live a life devoted to Jesus Christ as a poor nun, to live simply, growing in holiness and praying for a world in need of God. Our property offers over 200 acres of natural beauty on the shores of Lake Howell for visitors to spend time in simple prayer as St. Clare demonstrated.
