By Fr. Joe, OSF, Sts Francis & Clare

There must be occasional times of prayer over extended periods when we separate ourselves from the affairs of daily living. God must have a chance of speaking to us in the quietness of our hearts.

Therefore … 

We, the family of the Parish of Sts. Francis & Clare, are a Catholic, Christian community that reaches to all God’s people by providing a living witness to all called from various and diverse backgrounds – all are welcome to the table of Jesus.

As followers of Francis, we are called to celebrate the diversity and uniqueness of every person as God’s gift to us. In the spirit of Franciscan joy, we go forth to proclaim the Good News, using words if necessary.

We want to welcome the entire community to enjoy the warmth and love of our parish by participating in the sacramental life of the Church, especially those who have been turned away by others. Our parish motto – ALL ARE WELCOME!
