Welcome.to.St..Clare.Parish
Thank you for choosing St. Clare School. The parish developed this
ministry to assist families with the responsibility of raising their children
in a safe, faith-animated and healthy educational environment. Our “Parish
Mission Statement” is more specific:
The community of St. Clare
invites everyone to share and celebrate the
transforming power of God’s love through
worship, education and service to others.
In the spirit of this “Mission,” we invite you to join our community
in any way you feel called. The best way to get to know people is to volunteer
for, or come to parish events. Below is a “short list” of some of the more
popular programs and activities we offer. A complete list is in the “Welcome
Packet” in the parish office. If you are interested in participating in any of
the listed programs or activities, please contact the parish office at 503
244-1037, e-mail us at office@saintclarechurch.org, or visit our web site at www.saintclarechurch.org.
