The Poor Clare Sisters are a Franciscan contemplative order of
nuns founded in 1211 by St. Francis of Assisi. The Sisters came to
America and founded the first Monastery here in Omaha in 1878.
The Sisters devote their entire lives to prayer for the needs of
individuals from all denominations and faiths.

The Poor Clare Sisters of Omaha send this blessing of St. Clare to you in gratitude for taking an active part in their journey to build a Portiuncula for Christ in Omaha.
“May Almighty God Bless you. May He look upon you with the eyes of His mercy and give you His peace. May He pour forth His graces on you abundantly; and in heaven may He place you among His saints!”
