Convent of Santa María de la Purísima Concepción, Marchena
Convento de Santa María de la Purísima Concepción
What it is
A community of Poor Clares at the Convento de Santa María de la Purísima Concepción in Marchena (Sevilla), one of the enclosed houses supported by Fundación DeClausura.
What it needs
The community has grown to 22 sisters and is still receiving vocations. It needs to fit out three cells, add two bathrooms and repair parts of the roof that leak.
Before you act. The appeal 'Arreglo de tres celdas y del tejado de las Clarisas de Marchena' was first published in 2024 and is still listed as open. The appeal pages show a target and a percentage raised, not the amount in euros.
Last checked 9 November 2026. Parts of this entry could not be fully confirmed; see the note above. Responsible body: Fundación DeClausura (passes donations on to the community).
About 200 timber ceiling beams in the first floor of the cloister are failing from age, damp and wood-boring insects; many must be replaced and the rest treated. The 'Apadrina una viga' (sponsor a beam) appeal prices each beam at 300 euros.
A ruined building in the convent orchard, beside a central city street, is shored up, damp and at risk of collapse. The appeal funds its urgent repair.
