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 -
You’re the key to Oktoberfest success! With just 27 days remaining until St. Clare’s big Oktoberfest fundraiser, it’s time for every parish household to join in support of this important effort. Our Oktoberfest leaders have worked behind the scenes for months and have done a great job of getting things organized for the event. Now it’s up to all of us to step up and pitch in! It’s easy for you to sign up to volunteer and donate items either online or after Mass. Since we need volunteers to fill about 400 one- or two hour time slots, we are hoping that most of you will offer to help AND be there before or after your shift to enjoy the great celebration.Read More -
Centered in the Eucharist...Using Our Time Well - I want to extend an invitation to everyone—yes, each person in the parish!—to become a part of our liturgical ministry program. Serving in a liturgical ministry is a great way to deepen your participation in and understanding of the Sunday Mass. Signups and Training Schedule are online at www.stclarechurch.org/ministry. These ministries are currently short-staffed… READ MORERead More -

RECENT CLASS SUMMARY — In September and October, the topic for study was Moral Theology. We referenced the Catechism of the Catholic Church (CCC) for much of our class discussion. The CCC is the compilation of Catholic Church teachings and is the go-to resource for teaching the Catholic Faith. For centuries, Theologians guided by the …Read More -
RECENT CLASS SUMMARY — After a short summer break, we are back for our 5th and final year. Earlier this month, we spent a full week at Saint Meinrad Seminary in Indiana. It was a privilege to spend time in daily prayer with the Benedictine Monks that live at Saint Meinrad. The topic for our class was sermon preparation and delivery. To prepare... READ MORERead More
