Celebrate the Advent & Christmas season in the spirit of St Nicholas

The question is not what you will find in your stocking in the morning, but what can you do for others.

"The giver of every good & perfect gift has called upon us to mimic God's giving, by grace, through faith, and this is not of ourselves." St. Nicholas of Myra

SAINT CLARE CHRISTMAS EVE 4PM LITURGY

At our 4pm Christmas Eve Liturgy, children in our parish are invited to color a special card (see below) and say a prayer of comfort and cheer to bring joy to someone in need this Christmas.

Children are to bring these cards to church on Christmas Eve and put them in a box in front of the Nativity Scene at the front of the church during the 4pm Mass. These will be distrubted to those in Assisted Living and Rehabilitation this Christmas.
