The Poor Clare Sisters in Norway have a new web site. The site is available in English, German and of course Norwegian. They welcome you to visit them.
Pictured above are three of the sisters and their dog… if you visit you will see their cat too! The site is wonderfully done and they would love to hear from you - you can send them a message here.
To celebrate the eighth centenary of the birth of St. Clare of Assisi, Sisters Francis, Elizabeth and Elaine came to Larvik on St. Patrick’s Day in 1995.
The community was officially erected as a foundation, sponsored by the monastery of Ennis in Ireland on the Feast of St. Clare, 11th August 1997. read more

Well, puff, puff, I finally got all the monasteries on the Monastery page updated. So at least for today - they should all be working. If you know of any that I am missing, or changes that need to be done - please let me know.

Sunday Readings: Wis 11:22-12:2; 2 Thes 1:11-2:2; Lk 19:1-10.
To be Tall of Heart
I have been short a great deal of my life. I am fifty and I can honestly say that I haven’t been tall since the 5th grade. It was easy to be tall then, easy to be able to see over the heads of those shorter than myself. I think that being tall those early years was like being called first to do cool things. However, my height was short lived. It seems like such a long time ago that physical height was part of my identity.
In the gospel reading of November 4th I feel an affinity with Zacchaeus, the short in stature tax collector. He wasn’t tall enough to see from the ground in the midst of the crowd so he sought another way to see Jesus…..

If you’ve been looking for the Poor Clares in Evansville and found nothing….. look again - they are back!
Their site was down - mea culpa because I (Sr. Patricia in Spokane) had changed the server … and was negligent in getting everyone back up! Hopefully with the blog - things will get done a little faster. Hope.
Do visit the Sisters in Evansville and if you want to send them a prayer request….

Welcome to our new updated site… we’ve gone Bloggy! For those of you who may have visited the site over the last year - you probably noticed the site remained the same… day after day and week after week and so on and so forth. Sort of like boring don’t you think?
So we have changed the site to a blog and we hope that the didfferent Poor Clare houses will find it easy to post their news and events to share with you.
The picture above was taken a few weeks ago when Sister Marcia Kay and myself (Sister Patricia) from the Spokane, Washington Monastery - went to a Catholic Radio Convention in Birmingham, Alabama. It was a really great experience and we loved it. We are pictured with Ron Belter (the president of Sacred Heart Radio) and with Immaculée Ilibagiza who was the featured guest for the EWTN show, “Life on the Rock.” We were part of the live audience.
For anyone reading this who doesn’t know… our community manages the affliate radio station of Sacred Heart network in our monastery. It is just more than cool… I will share with you a picture or two later.
Truthfully we don’t do that much to manage the station … but it sounds good. If it wasn’t for Ron handling all the bells and whistles.. their would be a lot of dead air. Still we are learning to do more things.. and we do host a weekly program - Faith, Hope and Action. So hey we are taking baby steps!
