Poor Clares Monastery Carlow

Poor Clares Monastery Carlow Our form of life is to observe the Holy Gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ by living in obedience, without anything of one's own, in chastity and in enclosure

The Poor Clares are living in Graiguecullen, Carlow for over 100 years. In the late 1800's the Bishop Dr. Foley made his first visit to the Vatican in Rome. Hardly had he come into the presence of his Holiness when Pope Leo XIII enquired if there was a contemplative order in his diocese. The Bishop replied there was a community of enclosed Poor Clares but they were not properly established yet. "Establish them and be good to them" said the Holy Father. If you are considering joining our order, please contact us for further information. You can email us at [email protected]

Today is the Feast of the Holy Name of Mary.
We fly to your protection, O Holy Mother of God; despise not our prayers in our necessities, but deliver us from all dangers, O glorious and blessed Virgin.

Join us as our parish celebrates the 800th Jubilee of St Francis. 🌿

Over four special days, we’ll gather in prayer, music and celebration, giving thanks for the life and lasting example of St Francis.

There is a special invitation to all who bear the name Francis — whether it’s your first name, baptismal name or Confirmation name — to join us for a special blessing at our 11.30am Mass on Sunday.

There is something for everyone, and all are warmly invited to join us for any or all of the celebrations.

St Francis of Assisi, pray for us. 🙏
