St. Clare Girls’ Summer Camp 2025

From June 1 through June 5, we held our St. Clare Girls’ Summer Camp at Possum Hollow Camp in Graham, Texas. For the second Summer in a row, Jim and Tracie Bittle generously provided the girls with a large cabin on the lake and memories to last a lifetime. Fr. Francis Miller, OFM, sacrificed what little time he had between missions, weddings, and sick calls in order to provide the girls with daily Mass, confessions, and spiritual conferences. He also put his boating skills to work in order to make the camp extra special for us. We wish to extend our heartfelt gratitude to him and the Bittles for this great work of charity, and we assure them of a perpetual remembrance in our community prayers.

Please keep the Sisters in your prayers as we prepare to move to Colorado at the end of June. Though the move is temporary, a generous benefactor has offered us the use of a house in order that we may have daily Mass and be near our Father Director. This will allow us to live our semi-contemplative life and keep our Capuchin customs, which is something we have longed for and prayed for unceasingly. In addition, we will now be able to receive visits from candidates who are interested in our congregation. Be assured that each and every one of you will be carried with us in prayer and that your intentions will be offered to Our Lord before the tabernacle each day. We ask Him to bless you on our behalf, and may Our Lady keep you close to her Immaculate Heart!
