May 14, 2014 marks the 60th Anniversary of ordination to the priesthood of our beloved pastor emeritus, Msgr. Joseph P. Murphy. It is a moment that must be both acknowledged and celebrated. At his request he would like the celebration to be both prayerful and simple. I invite you therefore to join Msgr. Murphy as he concelebrates mass with me and our parish priests on Sunday, May 4, 2014 at 1:00 pm. A reception in his honor will follow in the school gymnasium. Again at his insistence there will be light refreshments only. He asks that there be no gifts. If any one wishes to give a gift, Msgr. requests that a donation be given to the St. Clare Improvement Fund in his honor.

With the retirement of Mrs. Terri Miyamoto, Director of Liturgy a search committee has been formed and is currently seeking candidates for the position of Pastoral Associate.  This new position will continue the focus on Liturgy, RCIA, and Faith Formation Activities and be expanded to include other pastoral responsibilities within our parish. Interested candidate must be a practicing Catholic with B.A., M.A., M.Div of equivalent, skillful working with people and utilizing technology including social media. For more information click here.
