St. Clare of Montefalco Parish

Following the celebration of two great feasts on our liturgical calendar, All Saints and All Souls day, we enter the month of November. Much of it is dedicated to remembering those that have gone before us. In a special way, this Sunday we remember our loved ones and friends who passed away since last November of 2018.
