SUNDAY
YEAR OF FAITH
October 2012 – November 2013
We continue offering prayers that the
YEAR OF FAITH in the Universal Church,
which bridges the years of preparation
and celebration for St. Clare’s Parish
100th Anniversary will strengthen the
journey of faith and commitment to the Gospel in all of us.
ALL SOULS’ DAY ENVELOPES have been provided and set up
at the entrance. You may wish to write names of loved
ones on these envelopes, and if needed, include other
sheets with names on them. These may be brought to
church at any time. The names will be kept on the altar
during every Mass in November, and then transferred in the
“Book of Life”. If you wish, you may add a donation for the
needs of the parish, in memory of loved ones.

Shepherd’s Trust
As parishioners, we have reaped the benefits of
our priests’ unselfish service to ourselves and our
families for generations. Called by God and consecrated to
the priesthood to care for His people, they have faithfully
served and continue to serve our families, in our churches,
schools, hospitals, nursing homes, missions and on our
streets. The collection for the Shepherd’s Trust will
take place in all parishes in the Archdiocese next
weekend (Nov 17/18). Please pick up a copy of the
Shepherd’s Trust Newsletter & an offering envelope. The
Shepherd’s Trust does more than just bridge the gap in our
priest’s retirement years; it says thank-you in a very
tangible way for the blessings we have received. Your
generosity is deeply appreciated.
2013 Missals
The 2013 Sunday Missals will be on sale after the Masses
next weekend (Nov 17/18) and on the weekend after (Nov
24/25). They will also be available at the office during the

Christmas Sponsorship Drive
Once again this year, we are inviting parishioners to
volunteer to prepare Christmas Baskets for needy families.
As you know, there are many families in our neighbourhood
who are in need, especially around Christmas time. If you
would like to help make someone’s Christmas brighter we
ask you to leave your name and number with a member of
the St. Vincent de Paul Society on the weekends of

will have more information later.

1000 Annivesario della nostra Parrocchia
Ripetendo l’annuncio di domenica scorsa.
Come sapete l’ 11 Agosto, 2013, la nostra parrocchia
celebrerà il 100o Anniversario!
Ringraziamo coloro che si impegnano nell’andamento
delle attivita’, celebrazioni e programmi giornalieri e
settimanali.
Grazie particolarmente a tutti coloro che
collaborano nei programmi particolari in preparazione
all’anniversario.
Ringraziamo la scuola di SANTA CHIARA che in
occasione dell’anno di preparazione al Centennario, ha
organizzato una “Camminata”, “Walk-a-thon”, ha raccolto e
donato alla parrocchia una somma di $2,900.00. Grazie di
vero cuore.
Partecipiamo
all’incontro
sul
“Cattolicesimo”,
Mercoledi, 31 Novembre, alle 7 pm in sala.
Lungo gli anni, ognuno di noi, le nostre famiglie e i nostri
antenati, hanno sempre ricevuto aiuto, guida, conforto e
parole di speranza da tanti sacerdoti che ricordiamo con
tanto affetto. Nella loro avanzata eta’, anch’essi, i sacerdoti
che hanno sempre dato la loro disponibilita’ , hanno bisogno
del nostro aiuto e del nostro “Grazie”. Ogni anno, la nostra
diocesi ci invita a partecipare in una raccolta, chiamata
“Shepherd’s Trust”, per l’assistenza ai sacerdoti anziani.
Domenica prossima, 18 novembre, spetta a noi ringraziare i
sacerdoti anziani con una preghiera ed un contributo
finanziario. Uscendo dalla chiesa potrete ritirare una busta
per l’offerta ed un fascicolo per informazione.
Gruppo 55 e Più - giovedì, 15 novembre, alle 9:30
