The Capuchin Poor Clares are a cloistered community of contemplative religious sisters who trace their origins to St. Francis and St. Clare. Following in the 16th century reform movement of the Capuchin Friars, Venerable Maria Lonrenza Longo began a movement of renewal within the Second Order which led to the foundation of the Capuchin Poor Clares. The sisters in Denver, Colorado have been living, praying, and working at Our Lady of Light Monastery since their arrival from Irapuato, Mexico in 1988. In addition to sewing habits, the sisters provide for the needs of their community by baking Clarisas’ Cookies, available for sale online via the link at right.
