SUNDAY
Dear parishioners, it is an
honour to be the new pastor
of St. Clare Parish, especially
during the 100th anniversary
of
this
extraordinary
community.
I am happy to inform you
that
Bishop
John
Boissonneau will be installing me as pastor on Saturday,
August 9th during the 5:00 pm mass. Apart from being
my former Rector, Bishop John also used to help at St.
Clare's early in his priesthood.
I hope you will be able to join us for this mass. All of
the masses during the weekend of August 9-10 will be
in honour of our Church Patroness, St. Clare.
We pray for Fr. Vito who has taken his appointment as
Pastor of St. Patrick’s Parish in Brampton and thank him
for his ministry to both St. Clare and St. Nicholas Parish.
Come this August and there afterwards, we will not have
a 9:00 a.m. Mass on Saturdays. Considering that on
any given Saturday, we have several weddings, funerals
etc., this will be the best for the present situation at St.
Clare.
On the First Fridays of the month, Holy Hour will now
begin at 8:00 a.m. where confessions will be heard and
ending with 9:00 a.m. Mass.
Yours in Christ, Fr. Xavier
Healing Mass
Starting on First Friday this August and every First
Friday after that, we will be having a Healing Mass at
9:00 am. This is an opportunity for you to receive
the healing oil that refreshes us and brings us closer
to Jesus. The oil of the sick is administered to all the
faithful as a sign of our communion with The Lord
and His constant care for us.
ENCOUNTER: A Youth Bible Study
All students from Grades 7 - 12 are invited for a
Youth Bible Study! Encounter is a series of videoguided study of Scripture, accompanied by games
and fellowship. Sessions continue on the next two
Monday evenings (July 21st & 28th) at 6:30 pm in the
Parish Hall. Snacks are provided and everything is
free!
Meeting of Lectors & Eucharistic Ministers
On July 22nd, there is a meeting of all Lectors &
Eucharistic Ministers that will be held in the church at
7:00 p.m.
100TH Anniversary Parish Photo Directory
In honour of the 100th Anniversary of our Parish, we
are planning to produce a photo directory. A major part
of the parish directory will be a collection of family
portraits. By having your portrait taken, this would
entitle you to a free copy of the anniversary directory.
This photo directory is an important community builder.
It helps us to get to know one another by putting a
name to a face and it will be a wonderful keepsake of
our parish at this special moment in time! In order to
guarantee the success of this project, we require your
participation. In addition, we will be looking for
volunteers to help in the organization. Please contact
the church office if you’d like to be part of the photo
directory team or to book an appointment to have your
picture taken. More details regarding the project will
follow in the next few months.
INSURANCE COLLECTION
As you know, we continue to accept donations that will
help to cover the overwhelming Insurance Bill, which we
expect to come in at over $18,000! Please find a special
envelope for this collection, either in your envelope
packet or at the entrance of the church. It would take
about $50 per family for us to be able to meet this
challenge, but we understand that not everyone can
contribute equally, and so, whatever you can do will be
tremendously
appreciated.
Thank
you
for
understanding.

Libro Parrocchiale nel occasione
del nostro 100mo Anniversario
In commemorazione del nostro 100mo anniversario,
vogliamo preparare un libro contenente fotografie dei
nostri parrocchiani. Metteremo a disposizione un fotografo
e per coloro che decidessero di fare una fotografia
(famiglia o singoli) riceveranno un libro gratis. Questo
aiuterà a conoscerci meglio e ad avere un bel ricordo della
nostra parrocchia. Per garantire il successo di questo
progetto,
chiediamo
la
vostra
partecipazione
e
collaborazione chiamando l’ufficio per un appuntamento.
Carissimi parrocchiani, è un onore di essere il nuovo
parroco qui a S. Chiara specialmente durante il 100mo
anniversario di questa comunità straordinaria
Sono lieto di comunicarvi che Sabato, 9 agosto,
durante la Messa delle 5:00 p.m., il Vescovo John
Boissonneau sarà qui a celebrare la Messa del mio
insediamendo come parroco di S. Chiara.
Spero che potrete assistire a questa messa. Tutte le
messe del weekend del 9/10 agosto saranno in onore
della nostra patrona, S. Chiara.
Preghiamo anche per P. Vito nel suo nuovo incarico
come parroco di St. Patrick a Brampton e lo
ringraziamo per tutto quello che ha fatto per noi e per
la parrocchia di S. Nicola di Bari.
Dal mese di agosto e in poi, non avremo la Messa
delle 9:00 a.m. il sabato. Considerando che spesso
abbiamo numerosi matriomoni e funerali, sarà meglio
in questa presente situazione a S. Chiara.
Nei Primi Venerdì del mese, sposteremo l’Ora Santa
alle 8:00 del mattino durante quale avremo anche le
confessioni, seguita dalla S. Messa delle 9 a.m.
In Cristo, P. Saverio
Messa di Guarigione
Incominciando da questo Primo Venerdì d’Agosto e ogni
primo venerdì, alle 9:00 a.m., ci sarà una Messa speciale
di Guarigione. Questa è una bellissima occasione dove
potrete ricevere l’olio santo che ci rinfresca e che ci
porta più vicino a Gesù. Quest’olio degli ammalati sarà
offerto a tutti i fedeli come segno della nostra
comunione con il Signore che sempre ci custodisce.

sino ad oggi è di $31,809! Portate la vostra
offerta in ufficio o inseritela nel cestino della
colletta domenicale. Dio vi benedica.
COLLETTA PER L’ASSICURAZIONE
Come ben sapete, ogni anno la parrocchia ha
l’obbligo del pagamento per l’assicurazione che
generalmente supera $ 18,000. Ogni anno ci
rivolgiamo alla vostra generosità.
All’entrata
della chiesa troverete delle buste apposite per
l’assicurazione.
Le famiglie che hanno la
possibilità, sono invitate ad offrire la somma di
$50 per riuscire a raggiungere questa cifra. Vi
ringraziamo di vero cuore.
