Children’s Faith Formation:
Regular classes will be held this week, Sunday Family and Monday classes.
All those who are preparing to be confirmed are to meet with their parent and/or sponsor on Monday, February 4 at 6:30 in the social hall.
Immediate preparations for Reconciliation and First Communion will begin on March 3rd at 9:00 am Mass; a special Mass for First Communion candidates. Invite Godparents to Mass and parent meeting. You will need your child’s Baptismal candle and a record of Baptism must be on record.
See you on March 10th, 17th and 24th for student and parent meetings after the 9:00 am Mass in the social hall. This is preparation for Reconciliation and First Holy Communion.
RCIA. Our next gathering is on February 6th. We continue our study of the Sacraments. All are welcome to attend. Join us at 7:00 pm.
Adult Faith Formation: Your formation this week should be in the form of attending at least one day of the mission by Fr. Peter. Come to the morning Mass or evening conference. There will be a children’s Mass at 8:15 am on Tuesday. This will get your day off to a wonderful start.
There is no Thursday evening program this week because we want you to spend your time and energy on the Parish Mission. Our parish will grow stronger the more you increase your faith.
As the second reading said last week from Corinthians: “When one part of the body is sick, all are sick. When one part of the body is praised, all are praised.” Just so, when one part of the body grows in faith, we all benefit. So, help yourself and each of the rest of us parishioners!! We can all grow in faith.

I have been Blessed in my relationship with St Clare Parish. I have enjoyed all of my various roles within our community and embrace my current role as a Stephen Minister. Fr. Andrew asked us to use our talents within our parish community in different roles so that we experience a fresh perspective in our faith life. I agree with that guidance.
In my Stephen Ministry role I have a fresh perspective in my faith and service to our community and beyond. Our training has opened up learning in the many facets of our existence in God’s life for all of us. Some of those facets are difficult to bear, some impossible to bear alone. Our training prepares us, The Stephen Minister, on how to use the Holy Spirit to assist those in need of care. We learn, not to try and fix a person, but to use prayer and reflection to bring peace to a person.
It is our caring relationship with a person in need that fulfills the teaching we receive in the Gospel. The primary teaching of love one another.
