Grieving Parents Of all the pains that life can hand us, arguably one of the most searing is the death of a child. As Jesus joined his distraught disciples on the road to Emmaus after his crucifixion, we ask him to join each of us in this ministry as we continue on our difficult journeys from grief to the healing peace that we, like Jesus’ disciples, can find in the Eucharistic community. To meet the spiritual needs of parents whose children of any age have died by any cause—no matter how long ago—the Family Life Office offers the Emmaus Ministry for Grieving Parents. A unique, faith-based program providing spiritual retreats for grieving parents offered by grieving parents, the Emmaus Ministry offers a safe place where you can find peace, comfort, and hope, at least for a time. The entire retreat focuses on the parents’ personal spiritual journey, where one can engage as much or as little as one wants.

Lent is right around the corner. This year St. Clare will be reflecting on the everlasting and universal mercy of God. We will reflect on the question from the Prophet Micah, "Where is there a God like you?" On the left column you will see opportunities on how we will explore the topic as a Parish. But for now, here is the schedule for Ash Wednesday to help us enter Lent. See you there.
Bring your pets and join us on Sunday, October 7, 2018 for the Blessing of the Animals.
As we journey through Lent this year, our focus will be on the everlasting and universal mercy of God. We believe in a God who is always ready to forgive and to welcome back not only Christians, but all who call upon him.
To get us started on our theme, "Where is there a God like you?" Sr. Maureen Sullivan, OP, PhD. will be here to guide us in our Lenten reflection. Courtesy of Sadlier Publishing.
Throughout the Lenten Season, there will be opportunities to encounter Christ in the Sacrament of Reconciliation. To get our started, our very own Fr. Walter Modrys, SJ will come back to lead us in our Parish Reconciliation service. We will have communal Penance, followed by individual Confession. You will not want to miss this one either. Plan now so you can be with us.
