We were blessed to be joined at the 9:00 Mass on Thanksgiving day by school and parish 3rd and 4th-grade students. The students portrayed pilgrims and Native Americans. It was a lovely Mass.
This Sunday, is the first Sunday of Advent, the beginning of the Church’s liturgical year. It is a time when we prepare for Christ’s second coming and the celebration of Christmas.
We pray:
God of Love,
Your son, Jesus, is your greatest gift to us.
He is a sign of your love.
Help us walk in that love during the weeks of Advent,
As we wait and prepare for his coming.
We pray in the name of Jesus, our Savior.

Reminders and Updates
Nucci’s Lunch Program We are in the final steps of preparing to bring Nucci’s lunch service back to St. Clare while continuing to follow COVID protocols. As such, the lunch service will consist of the following:
Individually wrapped lunch will be delivered to St. Clare
There will be only 1 menu choice each day
Parents will need to place an order by 9:00 p.m. the night before
Drinks will not be provided
All meals will cost $5
Parents will need to register for the new payment system (instructions will be sent home)
Positive balances from Nucci’s service (prior to the pandemic) will be credited to student’s accounts once the parent creates an account in the new system
Negative balances will need to be paid before a new account can be setup
We hope to begin the service in early December.
Unfortunately, we will not be able to have a Christmas Fair this year. We will provide the opportunity for students and families to participate in many of the same activities as follows:
Basket Raffles will be available. Raffle tickets may be purchased for both child and adult baskets. Please see the flyer that was sent home last week.
Class reps will distribute a Christmas treat to students. The treat will include a craft for the students to complete. The Christmas treat will be given to the students on 12/22/21, the last day of school before Christmas break. Please send in $5 per student in an envelope addressed to “Class Representative” by 11/29/21 to help defray the cost of the treat. Include your child’s name on the envelope.
Christmas Cookies will be available for order. Watch for the Constant Contact which will be sent out this coming week.
