ST. CLARE HALL

Exterior view of St. Clare Hall on Villanova's west campus.

Located on West Campus, St. Clare Hall holds four residents per apartment in both single and double room occupancies. St. Clare Hall is one of eight apartment buildings that offers housing to upperclassmen. St. Clare Hall was named in honor of Saint Clare of the Cross of Montefalco.

St. Clare was the first Abbess to direct the Montefalco Monastery and its nuns, which was governed by the Rule of Saint Augustine. St. Clare loved the poor, the ill and those who were persecuted. To all those who knocked at the monastery portal, she gave whatever she could. Her heart was so forgiving that she even helped those who had spoken evil of her and who wished evil upon her.
