The holy monk Benedict told us that “every day we begin again.”
Therefore, no matter where we are in our journey towards the Lord, it is important to take time to come to know Him better.
Here at St. Clare, we have an ever-expanding list of opportunities for adult parishioners to grow in their faith.

Pastries with Paul
Pastries With Paul is a new series here at St. Clare. During this informal monthly study, we’ll explore the writings of Saint Paul in light of their context and culture, as well as survey and discuss the general themes found within the letters.
Meetings are the second Thursday of the month (August to May) from 10:00-11:00 am in Room 12. You do not need to attend every session. Click HERE for more information and to register so we can keep you up-to-date with information on the group.
Contact Vince Marcantonio at vmarcantonio@stclarecc.org for more information or help registering.
Seasonal Studies
We offer a variety of seasonal studies, consecrations, and meditations for parishioners at St. Clare.
Like the Bible Studies, these groups meet for a set number of weeks, often planned around a particular time of importance in the liturgical calendar. You can look for these groups in the bulletin, the website, and on social media.
If you are interested in leading a group please contact Vincent Marcantonio at vmarcantonio@stclarecc.org at least six weeks before you would like the group to begin.
Upcoming Events
We offer many one-time events throughout the year which help us to dive deeper into our faith. These opportunities are advertised in the bulletin, online, and on social media at least three week prior to the events to allow for registration.
For information on particular events or to let us know what you’d like to learn more about, please contact Vince Marcantonio at vmarcantonio@stclarecc.org.
Women’s Bible Study
The Women’s Bible Study meets in the Fall and Spring to study Scripture through the Walking With Purpose programs. These programs range anywhere from 4-22 weeks. Sessions are offered on Wednesday morning and evenings.
Please contact Michele Nagrost at biblestudy@stclarecc.org for more information.

Women’s Evening of Reflection is a monthly group where the ladies of the parish are invited for community, food, and a spiritual reflection on relevant topics of the day.
