Dear Sisters and Brothers,
May the grace and peace of our Lord be with you and yours always. I wanted to remind you that on October 26th, we will start a long overdue major capital improvement project. We will begin the process of replacing St. Clare’s original 30 year-old HVAC air handling system. This project includes the installation of new duct work and service platforms and will bring the system up-to-code. The work is scheduled to be completed by the end of January at a total cost of $725,000.
Since this is a time sensitive project and because of the pandemic we have secured a loan from the Archdiocese, with an agreement that we will make a financial appeal at a later date to fund the project. If you would like to make a donation towards this project now please contact Fr. Vincent or Debby Golden, our parish accountant.
Please note that we will continue to celebrate daily and weekend Masses in the church. The parish school will remain open during this time of construction.
Due to the HVAC project, the parish office will be closed from October 26th through November 20th and the parish staff will be working from home and will answer your emails as usual. To contact us you may email the individual staff member or you can call us at 281-286-7729, as voicemails will be checked regularly and routed to the appropriate person. We shall respond as quickly as possible. In the case of a life or death emergency requires a priest, please call 832-303-6786. Thank you very much for your patience and understanding. Your prayers for the safe and success of this project are deeply appreciated.
Peace in Christ,
Father Vincent Nguyen
