Founded in 1777, the Saint Clare of Assisi Parish is an ethnically diverse Catholic community of faith, united in worship, discipleship and service. In welcoming immigrants, newcomers and strangers, we strive to live these virtues so as to be the face of Christ, becoming a sign of unity and an instrument of God’s peace in the world.

Thank you for all those who have helped our pilgrims already. We are still far away from our goal of $20,000 even though we have returned back from our trip. Any contributions are welcome!

The 2023 Annual Diocesan Appeal invites all Catholics to “support our mission together” to support the ministries, services, and programs offered by the Diocese of San José that in support of all parishes. Please prayerfully consider your gift to support these important ministries.

Registration for Children’s Faith Formation for Grade 1 through Grade 6 is now open.

Where do we find the Mass in the Bible? What is the relationship between the two? In ten beautifully produced lessons, Parousia: The Bible and the Mass answers these questions and more.

Discover why the liturgy is a major theme that runs through the entire Bible, from Genesis to the Book of Revelation. We will not only look to the Law, the Prophets, and life and teachings of Jesus, we’ll also lean on the Doctors of the Church to enhance our understanding of the Mass. We’ll see how the New Testament is concealed in the Old, the Old is revealed in the New, and why both point directly to the Mass, the sign of the New Covenant.

Join us starting on Wednesday September 6th at 9am or Thursday September 7th at 7pm for this 10 week study.
