Hello friends!
It's time for our weekly flocknote! If you are wondering how we are holding up while Fr. Martin is gone we want you to know that we are hanging in there and all still in one piece. 😉 We are looking forward to his return home and Fr. Andrew did a great job steering the ship. Alright let's get to the good stuff!

Here are some things going on in our ministries and around the parish!
Knights of Columbus member Roland Schriever spoke before all masses last week to invite men from our parish to join our council. Our focus is to ‘be someone’ centered around a platform of charity, unity, fraternalism and patriotism. The Knights are involved in numerous charitable activities such as an Easter Egg hunt, Developmentally Disabled (tootsie roll) Drive, kettle corn sales, donut Sunday, ‘Adopt a Road’, Prolife and many more. The majority of these activities support our parish and its various activities along with special olympics, high school scholarships and pro-life organizations. Our success is due to Knights volunteering even if it is only 2 hours a year - it makes a difference. If you would like to support our parish and the community through volunteering with like-minded men, please join us. If you have a question or would like to visit with someone before deciding, please feel free to contact Roland at (636) 448-9448.
Please join the PATRIOTIC ROSARY for the consecration of our nation. It will be performed and hosted by the St. Clare Ladies Auxiliary. This rosary is for all ages, everyone is encouraged to attend and to bring friends. This rosary includes prayers, patriotic songs, and will capture your heart.
We will start the rosary at 2 pm on Sunday, November 1st, in the church. Social distancing and mask wearing will be required.

REGISTRATION
Due to capacity limitations with La Salle, we will have to limit the number of students attending, therefore we will have a First Come First Serve basis. Once we hit capacity we will place everyone else on a waitlist. You can register here: https://saintclareofassisi.org/fall-retreat-2020-life-teen !
