Adoration Monastery of the Sisters of St-Clare

The Adoration Monastery of the Sisters of St-Clare is a Catholic convent in Hampankatta, Mangalore, featuring simple stone structures designed for prayer and spiritual practice. The building stands adjacent to the Milagres Church and serves as a center for religious community life.

The monastery was established to serve the Sisters of St-Clare and support their religious community in the region. In September 2008, it experienced significant disruption during a period of religious tensions that affected the local area.

The Sisters of St-Clare conduct daily prayer services and maintain an active presence in the community through various support programs and educational initiatives for local women.

Visitors can enter the monastery during designated hours and learn about the religious life of the community. It is helpful to check local conditions and timing in advance, as the Sisters maintain regular prayer schedules throughout the day.

The Sisters here dedicate themselves to perpetual adoration of the Eucharist, meaning members rotate to maintain continuous prayer throughout the day and night. This ongoing spiritual commitment shapes the entire rhythm and purpose of life at the monastery.
