St. Clare Social Ministry

To build a strong and effective parish social ministry through better coordination, broader collaboration and more intentional formation on the social mission of the Church, bringing light to our call to work for Justice and Peace.         

The Social Ministry Committee and the Social Ministry Office serve as the outreach and justice arms of St. Clare Parish.  This community of about 1,000 families carry a long  tradition of service formed through many years of Franciscan spirituality.  The Parish Mission to share the transforming power of God’s love is expressed by the parishioners’ commitment to the Gospel Call for building God’s Kingdom of Love, peace and Justice.

We invite you to taste and see the many ministries that make up our social ministry.  By clicking on the links , you will be taken to new sites which carry various opportunities for education, reflection and action to carry on our Church’s work of charity and justice.
