We, the people of St. Clare Catholic Parish,
In the Diocese of Belleville, are called by God
in baptism to be disciples of Jesus Christ.
Centered in the Eucharist, and strengthened
by the gifts of the Holy Spirit, we strive to live
the Gospel and further the reign of God.
We do this by creating a vibrant faith
community, by actively promoting justice
and evangelization, and by using our gifts
in the service of God’s people, to give God
glory and reverence all of Creation.

From Our Pastor...
Charity and Mercy
St. Clare Parish is strong in its charitable giving and outreach
to people in need. We do that in many ways including our
ministries of St. Vincent De Paul, St. Louise De Marillac,
soup kitchen, Feed My Lambs, and others. Every day we
have people coming to our parish asking for help and we are
able to assist them through the generous donations you make
in the monthly envelope titled “For Those Who Need Our
Help.”

Sometimes you might see a person in need at our church who
asks for money or food. The St. Vincent de Paul Ministry is
asking that you not give anyone money, but instead refer that
person to the care of SVDP so they can best assess what the
person’s needs really are. Those in St. Vincent de Paul ministry are trained in how to get to the root of the problem and
make sure the person has all they need with dignity. They
also have a data base of people in the area and often know
the best way to care for that person.

If and when you are approached by a person in need please
call the phone number for SVDP that is listed on the front of
our bulletin (632-4270). If it is on a weekend, please let the
ushers at Mass know and they will make a direct call to the
weekend emergency number.

Ultimately, you can choose yourself how you want to help
those asking for money, but our SVDP leaders really feel
they can best help the person in need with their training and
with the funds that our parish has available for people in
need.
