Monasterio de Santa Clara

Katipunan Avenue and Aurora Boulevard, Quezon City, Manila, Philippines
Tel: +63 2 524 7141 (PTA)
 

This monastery is where nuns of the Order of Saint Clare of Assisi (usually called Poor Clares) lead a life of prayer and contemplation, having renounced the world and earthly possessions. The church is a lovely cream-colored building that is very much in the mold of Spanish-built mission churches in California, U.S.A. Carrying on an old tradition, people often come here with offerings (usually eggs) and ask the saintly nuns to pray for good weather.

  • Beautiful, peaceful spot.
  • Hard to get to. Driver got lost.

“Last December my son got married in the Philippines. A week before the wedding ,the brides parents brought us here to pray for good weather on the wedding day and for the bride and groom to have a wonderful life together. Its a beautiful spot in the midst of such a hectic city. Very tranquil, peaceful.”
