Maria Regina Mater Monastery

- The Lord set His heart on us and chose us out of love.
  
  Our Kokomo Poor Clare community was founded on March 6, 1959.
  Our united, joyful and grateful response is to "love Him totally who gave Himself totally for our love" (St. Clare).

- TO IMITATE JESUS

- TO FOLLOW STS. FRANCIS & CLARE

- TO BE FORMED BY MARY

- TO BE A SISTER IN COMMUNITY

  in loving service to one another
  
  in living an enclosed life of prayer
