We give thanks for all those in Faith Formation 2024-2025 here at Saint Clare and pray for God's continued blessing and protection for our children, families and catechists!

“The family is the fundamental cell of society,
where we learn to live with others despite our differences and to belong to one another;
it is also the place where parents pass on the faith to their children.”
Evangellii Gaudium (Joy of the Gospel) #66. Pope Francis.

Volunteer Opportunity
Calling All Disciples!
|
Catechesis from Greek means to “echo” our faith. Please join us in praying for our catechists and pray for those who God is calling to join us in this ministry. “Jesus did not call volunteers to do a job but he called disciples to answer God’s call of service to God and the Church” (Pope Francis, Symposium on Catechesis, July 2017). Do you feel called to join our faith formation team? If so, please contact Lori Mascia lmascia.stclare@att.net
