Bonanza 2025 is well on its way. A second count and seller drawing took place on Sunday, April 6. The final scheduled count will be Saturday, April 26, from 3:00 to 5:00 p.m., and the first drawing will be held Sunday, May 4th, at 10:15 a.m. All drawings can be viewed live online.

Bonanza 2025 is off and running. Tickets are being distributed to team captains who will be providing tickets to our sellers. This year, more than ever, we are looking for new volunteers to help sell tickets. Please consider helping. We hope to have a seller list in The Spirit published by February 24th. Please call the office if you are interested and leave your name and number. You will be contacted to arrange for receiving instructions and tickets. We hope to sell 1750 tickets this year and will be giving away a total of $38,000 during the 10 drawings. The grand prize this year will be $12,000.

Bonanza 2022 is rounding the final turn.  The 3rd count was held on April 9th and the first of ten drawings will begin April 24th after the 9:00 a.m. Mass.  As always, we appreciate your support of the Parish's largest fund raiser.  

Bonanza 2020 is sold out. No further tickets can be accepted. Please return all unsold tickets to the Parish office or destroy them. Thank you to all for the incredible support received during this trying time.

For those of you who are still holding Bonanza tickets or are able to possibly sell additional tickets this week, a fourth count has been scheduled for next Saturday, April 25 from 10 to 12. Please drop off all sold tickets at the Parish office during that time so we can have them included in the first drawing. The plan is to live stream each drawings after the 9:00 a.m. Sunday Mass on each of the dates as scheduled. Although we have not met our goal of 1500 tickets yet, it may be possible with your help. Even if we do not meet this goal, it will be a successful year thanks to all of you during this difficult time. Any questions or if you need help returning your tickets, please feel to call me at 313-727-3540.

The third Bonanza count will take place this weekend (April 18 and 19). Tickets will be collected at the Parish office on Saturday from 3:00 to 5:00 PM and on Sunday from 4:00 to 6:00 PM. Sunday will be the actual count day. Precautions for collection, counting and drawings as scheduled will be in place. Please return your sold tickets this weekend. If we do not reach our 1500 sold ticket goal this weekend and you sell additional tickets, we will make arrangements to collect them. We still have a ways to go to reach 1500. Thank you for all your help and support during this very difficult and historic time. Be safe and be St. Clare strong. Any questions, please call Tim Kramer at 313-727-3540
