Thought you might find this interesting.  http://www.wf-f.org/03-2-PoorClares.html   Sr. Miriam has persevered and is a solemnly professed nun at Bethlehem Monastery.  I am not sharing this article with my parents.  Way too soon in the process.

AFAIK, the Poor Clares of the Immaculate celebrate the Traditional Latin Mass, as well as most of the Franciscan Sisters of the Immaculate, who by the way, after living the contemplative-active life for a period of time, can request permission to enter the contemplative branch of the Franciscan Sisters of the Immaculate.

 

Here's a video on the Poor Clares of the Immaculate http://airmaria.com/...b=1&ttl=FI News

 

"The Poor Clares of the Immaculate were officially erected by a decree of the Holy See on May 8, 2002. They now have three monasteries, with a total of about 60 nuns. Together with the Franciscan Friars and Sisters of the Immaculate, they are part of a single religious family, united by the same founders, the same Marian-Franciscan spirituality and the same Vow of Total Consecration to Our Lady. Our common goal is to bring a new springtime of grace and holiness to the Church by returning to the origins of the Seraphic Order, founded at the little Church of St. Mary of the Angels, which St. Francis lovingly rebuilt with his own hands. 

The Poor Clares of the Immaculate live according to the original Rule of our Holy Mother Clare, with no mitigations, and the Traccia Mariana, a document drawn up by our founder, Fr. Stefano M. Manelli, which gives clear indications on how to faithfully live out the charism of Sts. Francis and Clare in the modern world, following the example and teachings of St. Maximilian M. Kolbe. They wear a grey-blue habit (like the friars and sisters), with a sky-blue veil and the Miraculous Medal worn over the breast. 

The three existing monasteries are located in Italy, but young women from other parts of the world (including the U.S.A.) have begun to enter the Order as well, which gives us hope that in a few years' time they will begin to found monasteries in other countries, and on other continents."

 

For info on both branches you can try contacting our sisters at www.franciscansoftheimmaculate.com

 

Ave Maria!

 

"What a great laudable exchange: to leave the things of time for those of eternity, to choose the things of heaven for the goods of earth, to receive the hundred-fold in place of one, and to possess a blessed and eternal life." -St. Clare of Assisi

Thank you so much!

 

I see that their founder is Fr Stefano Manelli, which is so interesting cause i'm just reading a book about him! And I think St Padre Pio was his spiritual father? This is so wonderful :) thank you for sharing!

Ave Maria! An old member here visited them in Italy and posted this thread about them - http://www.phatmass.com/phorum/topic/89825-poor-clares-of-the-immaculate/  She says they do not have the Traditional Latin Mass, though are not unfriendly to it. Another member Rosa immaculata was also recently in coorespondance with the FI Sisters who also confirmed this, that the Poor Clares of the Immaculate do not have the Traditional Latin Mass .. though I cannot find her post on this. However I would guess they might over time, or probably do have it on occasion  :like:

Ave Maria! Yes the times are changing, and most of our US friaries have the EF sometimes, and some have it every day. Here in Griswold we just made the change to EF everyday, and are now using the 1962 breviary for the Divine Office as well.

 

In Italy many have already changed over, and I do know that in Lanherne, England, the contemplative sisters currently have the EF Mass and breviary. I would make a strong guess that the Poor Clares of the Immaculate have changed or will change in the not too distant future. Doing the whole Traditional Latin Mass and Office seem to go well with the contemplative life.
