Parish Mission
Statement
May
the Lord bind us together as a community of
faith with His love. Let
us go forth and spread
His Good News as St. John
preached:
"Children, let us love not in word or speech,
but in deed and truth."
1 John 3:18
The Parish is a Way of Life
"The Parish is where the Church
lives. Parishes are communities of faith, of action
and of hope. They are where the Gospel is proclaimed
and celebrated, where believers are formed and sent
to renew the earth. Parishes are the place where
God's people meet Jesus in word and sacrament and
come in touch with the source of the church's life.
" American Bishop's Pastoral Letter, 1993
St. Clare's Parish is our spiritual home. It is
where hopefully through worship and prayer, love and
life, friendships and relationships, the people who
comprise its membership meet God. To accomplish this
objective, it is important that each member feel
included and welcome and encouraged to be active in
faith.
We welcome you to St. Clare's and deeply hope that
your life in the Parish helps you and your loved
ones to find God as friend and saving grace.
St.
Clare - St. Francis of Assisi -
St. Thomas More Cluster
Clusters of parishes have been formed
throughout the Archdiocese of Boston to increase the
effectiveness of each parish in accomplishing its
three-fold mission of worship, evangelization and
pastoral care.
The Braintree Catholic Cluster unites the Parish of
St. Clare with St. Francis of Assisi and St. Thomas
More Parishes in a unique body of unity and care.
Clergy and lay leaders from all three parishes are
working together to explore ways to share events,
such as missions and sacramental celebrations, and
offer resources and support to each other.
We hope you will find the information on this
website helpful in your journey in faith with us.
