A community of cloistered Sisters,
living the ideals of
St. Francis and St. Clare,
a following in love of Jesus in the Gospels.


The Poor Clare Sisters came to Hereford in 1880, during these 120 years many have joined us to follow the ideals of Francis and Clare.

In 1995 the Community moved to a purpose-built Monastery at Much Birch, Hereford.
The chapel is dedicated to Our Lady
of the Angels.
