Happy Anniversary! I like how our Oktoberfest celebration is always held on the weekend closest to the anniversary of the dedication of our new church, which was on September 30, 2007. For those who are new around St. Clare, this marks our 16th year of being in this beautiful church and we couldn’t be more excited about all the great things that have happened at St. Clare during these blessed years as well as those yet to come! The Oktoberfest is not only a great event for the whole ...READ MORERead More -

Following Jesus’ Call to Serve the Poor… One of the most inspiring ministries in our parish is the work done by those in our St. Vincent de Paul organization. These people do their best to serve God’s “least ones” who struggle daily to have food to eat, a place to live, and other basic human needs. Our parishioners in these ministries follow the example of Saints Vincent de Paul and Louise de Marillac, who began serving the homeless in Paris in the early 1600’s. In our parish, many help with...READ MORERead More -
Choosing Holy Moments…This past Christmas, we handed out 1,200 free copies of the book “Holy Moments” by Matthew Kelly, thanks to a generous donor. We ran out before everyone got one, which is good news in a sense. You may have received another copy in your US Mail recently or heard someone say they got a free book mailed to them. We were blessed again with a generous donor who wanted every household in our region to get a copy of this simple, inspiring book. Copies were mailed...READ MORERead More -
