St. Clare of Montefalco Parish

As Father Andrew mentioned in his homily on June 2, St. Clare Parish has been selected to be in the first cohort of parishes to develop a Missionary Strategic Plan to Unleash the Gospel in our community. The team has met with representatives of the AOD twice so far.  In the first meeting, healthy team dynamics were discussed, as well as the power of prayer.  This week focused on the work of the Holy Spirit in Unleash the Gospel, and how team members can apply it to themselves and discover how it can help bring about new life in our parish.  This is a fast-moving process, with the final draft of the Missionary Strategic Plan due to the Archdiocese early in August, so Save these Dates.

St. Clare said HI to our parish neighbors and now we’re having a cookout with LIVE MUSIC and COMPLEMENTARY FOOD.  Please come to show your support and welcome our neighbors to our Parish Community.

Summer usually gives us more time to relax and read.  The fifth graders last week gave us some of their favorite Bible Stories.  The interesting part was they tied it into improving their reading skills and using it for their required reading during the summer.  I think this is a great idea for each of us.  Why not try reading from the Bible at least once a week? Deacon Rich has been encouraging us to read the Acts of the Apostles.  So that might be a great place to begin.  YES?
