Hello friends!
Here is your weekly update. Can you believe that Easter is right around the corner? We can't either! Your SCA parish staff is gearing up for Holy Week and we hope you can join us from the comfort of your own home.
Holy Week Schedule
How will you see Holy Week activities?
Short Answer: YouTube - St.Clare STL
psst... Click the picture to visit our channel. PRO-tip you can also click on this picture on our website to get to the channel as well.
Long Answer (aka reason why we are doing it this way): As of right now we will be streaming everything from YouTube for Holy Week. We do this in hopes that people who don't have Facebook can access the videos and many of you will be able to stream it from your TVs. So that means no extra plug ins or casting devices.
Make sure to subscribe to our YouTube channel so you will get notifications when we go live just like you would on Facebook if you like/follow us on Facebook. That being said we do plan on sharing the link to Facebook so you can click from there to join us. Phew, that was a mouthful!
Another pro-tip: Click on this link to take you straight to where our live-streamed videos show up on Facebook.
Now that you can't go anywhere who is going to make the meal?!
Our Knights of Columbus would love to help you get that turkey or ham you need for your Easter meal. Support the Knights and make meal prep a little bit easier on yourself. But order quickly because April 5th at noon is the last chance!

Be the Light in the Darkness
Did you know that Clare means "clear, bright, shining, brilliant to the sight." Do you think it is a coincidence that you belong to our SCA family?! Friends there are no coincidences, there is only God! We are all made to be a light of His image and to bring joy to others. And if we can't shine as bright as we can now, then when?
We are looking for some light to shine on others. If you or someone you know has been the light in the darkness then email us and share your pictures and a short description. It could be something the community did for you or maybe something you have done for others. We love to share what our SCA family is doing to be the light! You can check out our Facebook page and see the few we have shared so far! #bethelightinthedarknessSCA

Thank you!
Thank you to all of those who sent in their #showusyourSundaySCA or tagged us on social media. We loved seeing everyone's set up! Keep them coming!
Hats off to all of those who have volunteered to help parishioners in need! We now just need the parishioners to help. If you are unable to get out and get yourself groceries or something from the store please let us know.
Also thank you again for your generosity in giving online or dropping off your envelopes. We truly appreciate you helping us to keep the lights on and we feel loved!

Please take time to see what we have going on in our bulletin this week and don't forget to stop by and grab some blessed palms from the back of church!
Well I think that is all from us. If you ever need anything just let us know. Have a great weekend everyone. Stay safe and stay well!
