Sustaining the activities and services at St. Clare's is due to the generosity of so many people, through many sources. These include the weekly offertory collections, tuition, registration fees, major fundraising efforts throughout the year, and periodic capital campaigns.
This page is designed to guide parishioners and friends in opportunities to contribute toward fundraisers which are "open to all" and appreciated in so many ways.If you become aware of programs that would support the services at St. Clare's, please contact Chuck Tracy, Parish Manager, to discuss options.

The Pathway of Prayer was designed in 2000, as a way for parishioners to honor those living and remember those who have passed. Bricks are inscribed and set permanently in the Pathway surrounding our Blessed Mother's statue, to the right of the church entrance on Nelson Avenue. The landscaped installation received an architectural award from the Staten Island Chamber of Commerce. Inscriptions can have up to 3 lines of text per brick, up to 13 characters per line, including spaces.
The offering for each brick is $200.00

A sanctuary lamp is located in the sanctuary of the church and chapel. These candles burn daily, indicating the presence of the Blessed Sacrament in the Tabernacle. Each week, the new candle is lit and we remember the intention of the person(s) requested.The offering for the candle is $25.00

Public Masses are generally celebrated 24 times each week in our church and chapel. We remember the intentions of all who are gathered. However, at each Mass, the name(s) of those who have been requested in a special intention are read aloud. Requests for this intention are recorded in the "Mass Book" which is available in the Rectory. Each January, the book is opened on a first-come-first-served basis for the following year. (For example, January 2018 started accepting requests for the 2019 Masses, etc.)
- The offering for Weekday Masses is $15.00
- The offering for Sundays and Holidays is $20.00

The bread and wine used for the Eucharist at each of our 24 public Masses are offered each week for the intention of the requested person(s) - generally in their memory, but often in honor of someone living.The offering for the weekly bread and wine is $25.00

Candles are part of our Catholic Tradition. The lit candle represents the light of Christ, present in our midst. At St. Clare's we have several candle stands where people can light one as part of their prayer of praise, thanksgiving, petition, or intercession. Once lit, the candles remain lit for approximately 12 hours. The Annual Candles remain lit for 1 year from when first lit. A small plaque is placed at each Annual Candle indicating the intention, so that others who visit may also share in that prayer.
The offering for the Annual Candle is $125.00
