A Merry Christmas from the Poor Clares
This is our first attempt at a web-cam! We hope our Christmas message comes to you loud and clear. We'll keep working at trying to 'perfect' it! A complete 'blog entry' will be coming soon!
‘Be comforted, be comforted my people, thy Salvation cometh quickly’
Dear Friends, Praised be Jesus and Mary!Being few in number has its perks... especially around our birthday's. Being smaller we're able to 'personalize' our birthday's more than we can in a larger community. As you can see from the photos, it has been birthday central around Our Lady of Solitude lately! To the right, we [...]
To Niggle or Not To Niggle, That is the Question!
Praised be Jesus Christ! Hello all! We have lots of news to share with you. Just in case you haven't checked out the website as of late, make sure you do.

Special feasts, superiors and a sneak peak!
Praised be Jesus Christ! Grace and peace to ALL! 'Lady thou art so great and powerful, that whoever desires grace yet does not turn to thee; would have his desire fly without wings.' Those beautiful words come from the pen of Dante, and are a beautiful lead-in to the Solemnity of the Assumption of the [...]

Indeed He loves us, and that love is the source of our peace. Not peace without struggle and warfare, but PEACE always and in all circumstances because [...]
