‘Fun-raising’ with your parish family...
In the midst of our big, busy parish – which provides many unique opportunities for each of us – there’s one annual event that brings us all together with common goals of fundraising and fun: St. Clare’s Oktoberfest!

We’re so grateful for those who have already signed up to donate time, talent, items and money to make our 24th annual community festival the best ever. It’s not too late to participate! We still need many more volunteers and donations, so visit 
www.stclarechurch.org/oktoberfest or talk to our Oktoberfest leaders at the table after Mass this weekend! 

Another wonderful way to support Oktoberfest is through our Li’l and Big Otto raffles. While making a great donation’ to the Church, its also a very good chance to win from $100 to $10,000! Think about making your own raffle ticket purchase for your chance to strike it rich,’ and grab some extra tickets to offer to your friends and family, too! The handy online raffle link on our website and through the QR code below (also sent to you in our enewsletter) makes it easy to include your faraway family and friends.

Want to join our marketing team? It’s simple! Promote Oktoberfest to the wider community by taking extra flyers and tickets to your workplace and by sharing our event on Facebook. Invite all your neighbors and friends to join us on Saturday, September 28.

Also this year, join us for Mass at 4 p.m. in a new location --- the beautifully renovated St. Clare School Chapel -- right next to the Oktoberfest grounds! Then, stay for the food, music, fellowship and fun.

Oktoberfest is our opportunity for St. Clare Parish to connect in a positive way with everyone in our area. Don’t miss out!

Thanks for your ongoing prayers and support,
Fr. Jim Deiters
