Our Vision and Mission

Our Vision:

The St. Clare Fraternity supports a Catholic Franciscan spirituality, a way of living the Gospel of Life, by encouraging peace, justice and integrity of God's Creation within our communities and parishes.

Our Mission:

As professed Secular Franciscans, having diverse interests and experiences, united in love, and rooted in living the Gospel of Life, we joyfully and prayerfully encourage each other, by our way of daily active living our Franciscan spirituality, to act and live as instruments of peace and mutual understanding in our communities and parishes.

Our Fraternity Statement on Racism:

“The Fraternity of St. Clare in Winston Salem believes that everyone is a beloved child of God created in His image, and that all creation is sacred and connected.

As the Lord asks of us, we are to ‘love’ one another.”
