Twenty-eighth Sunday in Ordinary Time
October 11
REFLECTION: Christ our Lord and brother invites us to the banquet, the Lamb’s high feast. Here, he gives us strength in his Spirit. On our journey home, God sustains us with the gift of finest wheat. Yet how often have we refused the Lord’s invitation to share the riches he has prepared for us?

Attend in-person:
Our bishop in consultation wtih medical authorities and others, has raised our maximum seating capacity starting this week from 25% to 35% with decisions to be determined in each parish if that is a realistic amount based on the seating configuration of the church. For St Clare Church, that means we can go well above our 275 previous max. We will soon make some changes to the way we cordon off some pews to establish some social distancing.

We know that many parishioners prefer to sit next to the aisle, but we ask that you please move toward the center of the row to make it easier for others to find a seat.
Continue to wear a mask when you are in church or a face shield..

Arizona Rosary Celebration - Oct 17 & 18
Online Celebrations 2020
Diocese of Tucson: October 17 at 10:00am
October 18 is World Mission Sunday
In 1926 Pope Pius XI instituted Mission Sunday for the whole Church with the first worldwide Mission Sunday collection taking place in October 1927. The Mission Sunday collection is always taken on the next to last Sunday during the month of October. That day is celebrated in all the local Churches as the feast of catholicity and universal solidarity so Christians the world over will recognize their common responsibility with regard to the evangelization of the world.
