St. Clare parishioner Ely Gillespie, who passed away on January 8, has stipulated in her will that the contents of her home be donated to St. Clare School.
FIRST HOLY COMMUNION AT
5:00 & 10:30 MASSES THIS WEEKEND
While it will be a ‘regular’ Mass for all parishioners, do take note that at Communion time the children will come to Communion first which will take just a few extra minutes.
Please pray for all First Communicants! May they inspire all of us to be more reverent in receiving Holy Communion.
ST. CLARE CATHOLIC MEN'S GROUP
Please join other St. Clare men in prayer, fellowship and spiritual nourishment on Saturday, 15 April, from 8:00-9:30AM, in Conference Room #3. If interested, we will say the Rosary at 7:30 in the Blessed Sacrament Chapel prior to the meeting. This month we will be discussing "The Feast of Divine Mercy."
If you have any questions, please contact Ken Smith, at 618-960-3863 or ksmith_1964@yahoo.com.
