Parish Life at St Clare's

Parish life at St Clare of Assisi is full of caring, sharing and committed parishioners willing and able to fulfill God’s work on earth. By keeping our hands open and ready to receive His gifts, we are able and willing to share them with others. Our goal as good stewards is to want everyone who comes to His table each week to experience His joy, His love, His outpouring of Himself into each of us.

Belonging leads to believing and today more than ever, people are hungering to belong. To feel a part of something, you have to become invested by supporting, believing and working hard to make it a reality. A sense of belonging leads to a desire to give back, which leads to true stewardship.

Let us all pour out our gifts and use them to help others so that we may be filled up again with God’s love and mercy. It is only through our goodness to others that we can all become true disciples of the Lord.

Matthew 18:20

Jesus said

“That when two or more are gathered in my name, there will I be also.”

Matthew 7:13-14

Enter through the narrow gate; for the gate is wide and the road is easy that leads to destruction, and there are many who take it. For the gate is narrow and the road is hard that leads to life, and there are few who find it.

Thessalonians 5:12-13

We ask you, brothers, to respect those who are laboring among you and who are over you in the Lord and who admonish you, and to show esteem for them with special love on account of their work. Be at peace among yourselves.
