Agreed, they are quite wonderful. I think the Poor Clares are the only monastic order (is that the proper terminology) in my diocese. I even heard a talk about discernment from a girl who is, I would suppose, a postulant now. Is it postulant for a year, novice for 3 or something along those lines?
My understanding is that they live nearby a Benedictine Abbey, and so one of the Benedictine fathers comes down the hill every morning to say mass for them
