This monastery is built upon the site of the crumbling church of San Damiano, the starting point of the conversion of our beloved Saint Francis. It was here when praying in front of the cross above the altar, the San Damiano cross, that Christ spoke to Francis through this cross. "Go and rebuild my church". When Saint Clare decided to join Francis and his way of life of prayer, simplicity and poverty, Francis invited Clare to live here. Other women joined Clare, including her sister and mother. She was the first woman to create a religious order for women. The day before she died, the Pope granted her request for the Rule of the Poor Clares. Clare lived here till she died. Now, this monastery is looked after by the Friars Minor. I can help arrange a guided tour by a friar.
