Description

The young Clare Crockett, who aspired to nothing less than Hollywood, left all her dreams aside on one Good Friday after an encounter with Christ Crucified. When she was seventeen years old, the Lord transformed her soul and she no longer desired to have anything other than the Love of Christ. The desire of her soul to belong to Christ alone –to live alone with Christ Alone– led her to consecrate her life in the Servant Sisters of the Home of the Mother and to give of herself with complete generosity. Her overwhelming joy led many souls, especially of young people, to discover true happiness that can be found in God alone. Her coherent lifestyle and her total surrender in the apostolic works that she carried out in Spain, the United States and Ecuador, made the message very clear to all that God alone can satisfy the human heart. On April 16, 2016, an earthquake in Ecuador caused the community’s house to collapse, which led Sr. Clare to her definitive encounter with Christ Alone.

EUK Mamie Foundation has published the first biography about Sr. Clare, entitled: Sister Clare Crockett: Alone with Christ Alone.  The book was written by Sister Kristen Gardner, SHM, who was also responsible for the production of the documentary All or Nothing: Sister Clare Crockett. The book has 428 pages and includes many of Sr. Clare’s personal writings.

Sr. Clare Crockett was a Catholic Sister from Northern Ireland, whose life and legacy continue to inspire many around the world. Born in 1982 in Co. Derry. she initially pursued a career in acting and had a promising future in entertainment. However, her life took a profound turn when she experienced a spiritual conversion, leading her to dedicate herself to the service of God. Sr. Clare joined the Servant Sisters of the Home of the Mother, a congregation known for its work with young people and the poor, and was sent to Ecuador as a missionary.

Sr. Clare’s zeal for spreading the faith was contagious, particularly through her love of music, which she used to engage with young people and deepen their spiritual lives. Tragically, she passed away in 2016 at the age of 33 during the devastating earthquake in Ecuador. Her unwavering faith, joyful spirit, and commitment to helping others continue to inspire generations today.
