Opening of the Cause for Beatification of Sister Clare Crockett!

Sr. Clare Crockett, Servant Sister of the Home of the Mother, died in the 2016 earthquake in Playa Prieta, Ecuador. As a youth, her ultimate aspiration had been to become a famous actress in Hollywood, but she set aside all her dreams one Good Friday, after an encounter alone with Christ Crucified. Her overflowing joy led many souls, especially young people, to discover that true happiness is found only in God. Her coherence of life and her total dedication in the various apostolates she carried out in Spain, the United States and Ecuador managed to transmit the message that only God can satisfy our hearts when we gives ourselves totally to Him. After her death, the surprise was to discover that Sr. Clare had not finished her mission of evangelization. The thousands of messages and mails we have received and continue to receive from more than fifty countries bear witness to this.

Throughout these eight years, many people have continuously requested that the necessary steps be taken to study the sanctity of Sister Clare Crockett. The Servant Sisters of the Home of the Mother, after praying and reflecting intensely on what we should do, saw in this desire of the faithful a clear indication that the Lord was asking us to request the opening of the process of Sister Clare Crockett on the diocesan level. His Excellency, Antonio Prieto Lucena, Bishop of the Diocese of Alcala de Henares, has accepted our request. He will preside the opening ceremony of the cause for the beatification of Sr. Clare Crockett on January 12, 2025, in the Cathedral of Alcalá de Henares, Madrid, Spain, at 5:30 pm.

The Servant Sisters of the Home of the Mother have been constituted as the petitioner of the cause in which Sr. Kristen Gardner, Servant Sister of the Home of the Mother, has been named postulator.

Let us thank God for this important step in the study of the life and virtues of our dear Sister.
