Poor Clares observe 800-year anniversary
St. Clare of Assist was born
in 1193, and in1993, Poor
Clares and other Franciscans
will mark the 800th anniver-
sary of herbirth.
The Monastery of St. Clare,
at 6825 Nurrenbern Road,
Evansville, will mark the
feast day of St. Clare, Aug. 11,
with a special Mass, accord-
ing to Poor Clare Sister Mary
Martha Blandford.
Sister Mary Martha de-
scribes St. Clare as "the faith-
ful lover of Jesus, poor and
crucified," and as the "faith-
ful friend and follower of St.
Francis."
The Order of St. Clare,
more popularly called the
Poor Clares, is a contempla-
tive order, founded in the
thirteenth century by 18-year-
old Clare who begged St.
Francis of Assist to allow her
to follow him in his life of ab-
solute poverty.
"Throughout the world
during this year of the an-
niversary, Franciscans of all
kinds and traditions, together
with those who are still
moved by the words and ac-
tions of this mystic of Assist,
Francis, are gathering for
'Clarefest,'" said Sister Mary
Martha,
She said that during this
past year, "all Poor Clares
have been preparing for the
great celebration by a year of
spiritual renewal, deepening
their prayer life by deep med-
itation and much reading and
sharing about the life of their
foundress,"
Sister Mary Martha said
this coming year."is to be a
year of sharing their riches
and insight with the whole
world honoring their mother
and guide and proclaiming to
all the people of God this
woman who was a light for so
many in the Thirteenth Cen-
tury.
On the saint's feast day,
Aug. 11, the Evansville Poor
Glares wilt open the year of
celebration with a solemn
Mass in their chapel at 11:15
a.m. celebrated by Father
Daniel Manger, O.F.M, Cony.
Throughout the coming
year there will be other cele-
brations at the monastery.
Bishop Gerald A. Gettelfinger
is expected to preside at a
Mass -- as yet unscheduled
-- for the many benefactors
and friends of the commu-:
nity, A reception will follow
