THANK YOU, MARY BOLYARD!
You may have noticed the clean up work happening around St. Clare.
Mary Bolyard spruced up the area surrounding the St. Clare sign. The clean up, landscaping, trimmed bushes, and dark brown mulch look great! Mary will also be taking care of the gardens on both sides of the Mary plaza (the firepit area.)
THANK YOU, KATHERINE AMANN!
Katherine and her workforce moved the statue of Jesus from the northside
of the church to the south alcove to overlook the grounds. Katherine continues
to work on beautifying the grounds overall. We're very blessed to have parishioners using their talents to care for the gardens.
