As you continue to reflect on your commitment to St. Clare’s please take some time to read the parishioner reflections which were also presented at all Masses on November 9th & 10th.

People like you make up our parish. Our history shows that our parish was built by a hardworking and dedicated community. Let us share the gifts that we have received and continue this spirit of unity by committing to do two of three things:
These small steps will make a considerable impact on our parish community!
THANK YOU to all the parishioners who have already said yes to our future! Please continue your faith, devotion, and increased giving.
We need your help. We are asking everyone to consider increasing their weekly offering to the parish.
It is vital that everyone participates in this program. We need your help to better serve and continue offering the programs that have become the trademark of our parish.
What We Hope to Accomplish:
How Can You Help?
Begin to use or continue using the envelope system. This will allow us to better know our parishioners.
Commit to increasing your offering for the next 52 weeks. This will help us keep track of our income and help us better plan for the future of our parish.
Once you have decided to increase, please use the special offertory envelope.
Online Giving (AKA Electronic Giving) is an alternate means of support for our parish instead of envelopes. In lieu of weekly collections, the Online Givers have their offering automatically or manually transferred from their checking, savings, or credit card account. There is NO cost to the participant to participate in the program.
Please click here to sign up or contact Mrs. Gerri Smith ([email protected]) in the rectory to discuss electronic giving.
Help maintain it and the services and ministries it offers by considering increasing your weekly contribution to the Sunday collection. We are a family, and together we can help the parish and its future.
Help our parish by filling out a special campaign envelope to increase your giving, and continue that increase over the next 52 weeks.
We are asking you to think about what you can afford to give to our parish. A general guideline for donations to your parish is 5% of your family’s total income. Many people find that their total annual gifts are 1% or less. What percentage of your income can you afford to give?
