Corpus Christi Monastery

Corpus Christi Monastery in Rockford, Illinois, is home to the Poor Clare Colettines — a cloistered contemplative community whose spiritual lineage flows from Saints Francis and Clare in the 13th century through the Colettine reform of the 15th century. The sisters celebrate Mass in their public chapel every single day at 7 a.m., offering Catholics in the Diocese of Rockford a rare opportunity to join the sisters in daily contemplative prayer.
