Each year, we celebrate the feast of Saint Clare on August 11th. A Novena in our chapel begins on August 2nd. During this time, we entrust the special intentions of our benefactors, friends and families to our holy mother. Petitions received are placed under the altar in our chapel. Saint Clare is especially honored during the Triduum which is held the three days preceding her feast on August 11th.

Novena Prayer

O glorious Saint Clare, God has given you the power of working miracles continually, and the favor of answering the prayers of those who invoke your assistance in misfortune, anxiety, and distress.

We beseech you, obtain for us from Jesus through Mary, His Blessed Mother, what we beg of you so fervently and hopefully, (here mention your need privately) if it be for the greater honor and glory of God and the good of our souls. Amen.
