Franciscan Sisters of the Poor

[Cloisters]

In the US, they’re known as the Hartwell Franciscans because of their location around Cincinnati. They were founded by Blessed Frances Schervier, whose feast is today. Blessed Frances had originally wanted to be a Trappistine, but the needs around her were too great at the time. She gave her congregation a provision for Recluses. Unfortunately, such is no longer observed.
