  4. Friends,

    Here is the meaning of the French words:

    "St. Claire, Virgin and First Abbess of the Poor Clares -- Feast, August 12"

  5. Hi Micki,

    I'll continue posting anonymous until I regularly view your site like I want. Also, http://saints.sqpn.com provided good information on each saint's life. Bless you for this holy source of inspiration.

    P.S. Thanks to everyone who earlier welcomed me back to the Church :)

  10. My husband and I chose Claire because, aside from the fact that it was the ONLY girl's name we could agree on, I really love St.
    Clare. We live in a diocese where the Poor Clares have a monastery. Before meeting my husband, I had visited them thinking that may be my vocation. Turns out, God had other plans for me. I am happy and thankful to have named my first daughter after such an incredible Saint. Thanks for asking.

    God bless,
    Stephanie
