SACRAMENTS AND CATECHESIS

ST. CLARE FAITH FORMATION PROGRAM – 2021-2022 SCHOOL YEAR Pope Francis declared this year the Year of St. Joseph, patron saint of families and our Universal Church. Just as how Jesus was the center of Joseph and Mary’s family life, we are invited to re-center Jesus Christ in our families. Bearing this in mind, we are excited to announce we will be offering a Family Catechesis Program for the 2021-2022 school year. With this program, our hope is to initiate families into lifelong faith formation centered on the life of Christ and lived in the parish community – embracing evangelization, discipleship, stewardship, and promoting the dignity of life.
