Our CommunityTo celebrate the eighth centenary of the birth of St. Clare of Assisi, Sisters Francis, Elizabeth and Elaine (first photo on the right) came to Larvik on St. Patricks Day in 1995. The community was officially erected as a foundation, sponsored by the monastery of Ennis in Ireland (second photo on the right) on the Feast of St. Clare, 11th August 1997.  In 2002 Sr. Walburgis (pictured left) came to join us from Germany.
In 2006 Sr. Marie Thérèse from England (third photo on the right) was the first Poor Clare in history to make her profession in this country. Our Brother Friars (fourth photo on the right) came to Norway during the lifetime of St. Francis, and are still here today. But it was not until the Eighth Centenary of the birth of St. Clare that the Sisters who bear her name came to follow them. |
