Grateful Happenings Around the Parish…Here at St. Clare there are always activities that reveal the workings of the Holy Spirit…and many of you are part of those. Thanks for your efforts!

I love the opening line on their website: “To bring highschoolers into a life-changing encounter with Jesus Christ.” Visit steubystl.com or watch the conference livestream at READ MORE
