Upcoming October Events
Fall is here and St. Clare is a busy place to be! From Bible studies and fellowship nights to special gatherings for our youth and families, there’s something for everyone. Here’s a roundup of the events happening this month:
Fall Festival
The 10th Anniversary edition of our fall festival is Sunday, October 13 from 12:00-4:00pm in the back parking lot. This is a free event for all our parishioners, and will be the best and most fun festival we’ve had yet! We will have a limited quantity of our t-shirts, mugs, and magnets available for purchase. We will not have a 10:30am or 12:30pm Mass, and instead will combine the two into an 11:00am Mass to ensure that all can enjoy the celebration and those participating in Mass will not be distracted. The back parking lot will be closed October 12-13 for setup and for the event. We can’t wait to celebrate with you!

Men’s Bible Study is Tuesday, October 1, 8, and 15. Men of the parish are invited to join for a Lectio Divina Bible Study held the first 3 Tuesdays of every month from 7:00pm to 8:30pm. The study is led by Mike Hittle, reach out at mlk523@yahoo.com.
