Sister Clare Crockett

Sister Clare Crockett was born into a Catholic family in Northern Ireland in 1982. She always dreamt of becoming a famous movie star. Around the age of 17, her friend asked her if she wanted to go to Spain for spring break. Clare agreed, not realizing she was heading to a retreat at the Servant Sisters of the Home of the Mother. At Good Friday services, she was so moved that she decided to join the Sisters. Over time, Sister Clare worked all over, Europe, the US, and South America, serving different communities with her joyous and selfless attitude. Her motto for everything she did was “All or Nothing.” In 2016, Sister Clare was working at a school in Ecuador when an earthquake struck and she was killed. A documentary about her life was posted on YouTube titled All or Nothing: Sr. Clare Crockett . It now has 2 million views making her a famous sister. Many people throughout the world are currently working on the steps to get Sister Clare canonized.
