A Sanctuary for Prayer, Reflection, Quietude and Christian Formation

St. Clare House is an integral component of the wider mission of St. Francis Church. Here, in a place which is both set apart from the busy activity of parish business yet intimately connected to all the hopes of parish life, we seek to offer, uphold and provide for the following ministries:

Prayer and Reflection

The St. Clare House includes a small chapel for private prayers and is the site of our Advent and Lenten Quiet Days. It is also open to outside groups as an intimate and contemplative space for scheduled individual or small group prayer and meditation.

Christian Formation

The St. Clare House will provide a space for small group learning, Church School classes, Bible Study, and discussion groups for all ages which contribute to a deeper understanding of what it means to be called to serve as God's people in the world.

We, the people of St. Francis Church, resting in the assurance that God has called us to grow continually in the knowledge and love of Jesus, believe the St. Clare House to be a vital enhancement of this wider mission in the world. As stewards of such kindness and grace we shall prayerfully proceed to follow the Light of Christ, both in the world and in our lives.
