Kudos Mrs. Topper and Mrs., Konrad – Our school has been blessed with decades of service of Mrs. Nancy Topper (Assistant Principal) and Mrs. Donna Konrad (Kindergarten). We wish them only joy and blessings during their retirement and thank them each for their hard work and the positive impact they have made on many children’s lives.
Join Our School Family – Openings are available for new students in PreK4-8th Grade. Join the school’s family and have your child participate in our tradition of academic excellence nurtured by Catholic values. Call 622-7171 to schedule a tour. Florida’s STEP scholarships accepted.
YOUR PRAYERS ARE REQUESTED FOR all the hospitalized and homebound in our Christian community.
THE ALTAR FLOWERS TODAY are in loving memory of Dawn Kocot from her Mom, Dad and Sister.
IMPORTANT DATES FOR JUNE!!!Fr. O’Shea will be celebrating his 53rd year Anniversary of his Ordination to the Priesthood on June 10th. We have been so blessed to have Father as our spiritual leader for 32 years and wish him many more happy & healthy years
as the shepherd of our parish and school community.
Deacon Al Wesley will be celebrating his 32nd year of Ordination to the Diaconate on June 11th. We have had the good fortune of having Deacon Al at St. Clare for 24 years. Deacon Al visits the hospital daily and brings the Eucharist to the patients as well as the homebound. Thank you.
Please continue to keep Fr. O’Shea and Deacon Al in your prayers.
EXPOSITION AND ADORATION OF THE MOST BLESSED SACRAMENT will begin after the morning Mass on Tuesday, June 16th and continue all day ending with Benediction at 8:00PM. June is the month of the Sacred Heart, and it would be well to reflect on these words of St. Faustina Kowalska: “O merciful Jesus, how longingly you hurried to the Upper Room to consecrate the Host that I am to receive in my life. Jesus, you desired to dwell in my heart…Who will ever conceive and understand the depth of mercy that has gushed forth from your Sacred Heart? Please sign the chart in the vestibule of the church.
ARE YOU INTERESTED in sharing your faith with the youth of our parish? The Religious Education Program is looking for elementary teachers. All training and materials are provided. If you are interested in finding out more, please contact Sara Bernardin at 622-7171 or [email protected]
SPECIAL COLLECTION - The 2nd collection TODAY will be for the victims of the devastating earthquakes in Nepal. More than 8,000 people were killed and thousands are homeless and without food and basic necessities. Please be as generous as possible. Thank you.
IF YOU, OR A FAMILY member are in or going to Palm Beach Gardens Medical Center, please call the Parish Office if you would like to receive the Holy Eucharist.
St. Clare School News
Dear Sisters and Brothers in Christ:
In the encyclical, Evangelii Gaudium, Pope Francis challenges each of us to live joyfully as living witnesses of the Gospel of Jesus Christ. The joy of salvation, the hope promised by Jesus Christ and the love we share as brothers and sisters in Christ, are essential in living as modern day disciples of Christ.
The weekend of June 13 and 14, we are invited to participate in a special collection for the both the Black and Indian Missions and the Catholic Home Missions. You have responded generously with your prayers and resources for those in mission lands overseas and now we ask you to share your treasure with those here at home.
Mission dioceses and territories in the United States often lack resources to provide basic pastoral ministry to the faithful. Your generosity allows missionaries to work in schools and religious education programs, to buy Bibles and other catechetical material, and to continue the work of evangelization in rural areas, reservations and outlying villages in Alaska.
Through your partnership the Church is able to take the Gospel of Jesus Christ to every corner of our great nation. Thank you for your participation in this effort. Truly you are modern day missionaries for without your assistance the great work of evangelization would not be possible.
With gratitude for your continued generosity and every prayerful wish, I am Sincerely yours in Christ,
