Come, let us adore Christ,
truly present in the Most Holy Sacrament.

We are the Poor Clares of Perpetual Adoration (PCPA) at Sancta Clara Monastery in Canton, Ohio. We are cloistered, contemplative nuns dedicated to the Franciscan form of radical Gospel living and to the Eucharistic adoration in a spirit of reparative thanksgiving.
