This video was originally produced in 2003
by the Poor Clare Nuns at the Belleville, Illinois monastery.
It was created as a means of letting people know
what the Poor Clares do all day
as well as explain their spiritual life.
The original VHS video is twenty minutes in length.
In order to make the video workable for the web,
it was divided into four different parts between four to six minutes each.
Approximate loading times will vary for each section depending upon your internet connection.
