As we learn to adjust to the new normal of social distancing, one of the challenges we face is “keeping the lights on here.” By this I mean that with the suspension of Mass, the offertory collection is not being taken up, however we still need to pay staff, maintain the buildings and continue our outreach ministries. We have adjusted as much as possible to conserve fund; by lowering the heat, keeping the lights off etc. We ask that, to the best of your ability, you continue to make your weekly offertory donations, either by mailing them to the parish at St. Clare of Montefalco, 1401 Whittier Rd., Grosse Pointe Park, or via the WeShare site found by going to: https://stclarem.churchgiving.com
and following the prompts to sign up for electronic giving. Please click the “Donate” button on the front page. You will be taken to the “WeShare” online giving site.
If you do not have an online account, the steps are easy to follow to set one up. If you need assistance, please call the business office at 313-647-5022 or the WeShare help line 1-800-950-9952 ext. 2007.
As Christian stewards, we receive God’s gifts gratefully, develop them responsibly, share them lovingly with others, and return them with increase to the Lord. Knowing this, the groups under Stewardship strive to be accountable and responsible to the parishioners for the gifts they share with the parish. This includes planning and implementing programs that encourage parishioners to participate in and financially support St. Clare Parish. These groups work with the Pastor, Pastoral Team and Parish Pastoral Council to assist the parish in fulfilling its mission and purpose.
