"Love God; Serve God. Everything is in that." - St. Clare of Assisi 

This week, we celebrate and pray through the intercession of two remarkable women in the Church:

St. Clare of Assisi and Our Blessed Mother, Mary. 

The Feast of St. Clare of Assisi is tomorrow, August 11!

We will celebrate with a live-streamed Mass from the Sacred Heart Chapel; watch live at noon tomorrow on Facebook. 

Memorial to St. Clare at San Damiano, where she spent her life in ministry. 

Who is St. Clare?

Learn more about how she carried forth the mission of St. Francis and became a model of prayer and devotion to the Blessed Sacrament, and listen to Fr. Suresh’s reflection on her importance to us today.
