Welcome to the new 2017 year. We pray and hope that it will be one of peace, good will, and great things. May this New Year of 2017 find you happy and in good spiritual health, and may you Be Bold, Be Holy, and Be Catholic.  May you experience and add to the experience of our great Sunday gatherings for the Eucharistic meal.  On behalf of the entire St. Clare Staff we wish you a wonder-filled year.

Be sure to visit our Holy Family Chapel and see our new additions there. It is a “work in progress.” On the right hand side you will see beautifully illuminated Relics venerated at St. Clare over the years. On the opposite side, thanks to Bob Ternes and his talents, we have created a board that displays photographs as members of our parish family embark on a Paschal Mystery journey. As the year unfolds we can assist those on the path with our prayers and good words. Another sign of our parish family being Bold, Holy, and Catholic.
