Franciscan Monastery of St. Clare



A Community of Poor Clare Nuns, Cincinnati, ohio, usa



Praying for the needs of the Church and the World





Our Monastery



Chapel



Our Chapel is the heart of the monastery. Here the community gathers throughout the day to pray for the needs of the church and the world. All are welcome to join us for mass, the celebration of the liturgy of the hours and for adoration of the Blessed Sacrament.



Guest Area



People are invited to make arrangements to spend some quiet, reflective time at our Monastery. Our Guest Area is a space where guests have an opportunity to enter into an environment where their spirit can find rest. Guests may join us for mass and prayers in our Chapel.


Guests may arrange a private retreat or may arrange spiritual direction/companioning during their stay. For more information, please call 513-825-7177.



Meeting Room



Parishes and other religious groups use our Meeting Room for various gatherings. It is situated directly below our Guest Area and can hold up to 35 people. One side of the room is lined with windows that look out into our woods. The Meeting Room includes a small kitchen area with a sink, refrigerator, microwave and coffee makers.



Monastery grounds



We have a beautiful wooded property that includes the Stations of the Cross. Our walking paths connect to Winton Woods (the park "next door").
