St. Clare of Assisi was inspired to become a nun after hearing a sermon from St. Francis. She is remembered for founding the Poor Clares, and is the patron saint of modern television, Assisi, the blind, gilders, and glass painters. Her feast day is celebrated within the Catholic Church on August 11. This penny-sized sterling silver medal features an image of St. Clare with her name encircling the medal. The St. Clare medal comes on an 18 inch stainless steel chain, which is a great size for middle schoolers, teens, and women. The backside of the St. Clare medal is blank and is perfect for personalized engraving, which we offer at St. Patrick's Guild for $9.95. Click here for more details.
