Greetings!

Ahead of us is a beautiful celebration — Thanksgiving. It is a time to pause and pay closer attention to the abundant blessings in our lives, and to be truly grateful for them.

On behalf of Fr. Roman and myself, I wish you all a joyful and blessed Thanksgiving with your families and friends!

As I reflect on gratitude, I also want to bring to your attention one of our parish families who are in great need of prayers and support. Normally, I don’t share personal situations in the bulletin, but this case is very different — their story has already been featured on CTV News, and I wholeheartedly want to pass it on.

Please pray for little Noah, a 15-month-old boy who will soon be traveling to Duke University in North Carolina for stem cell treatment.

Noah is one of triplets — Nolan, Naomi, and Noah — and you may have seen them at church with their loving parents, Natalia and Matt.

Unfortunately, Noah has faced serious health challenges. He has undergone many surgeries at BC Children’s Hospital and has been diagnosed with cerebral palsy. There is hope that stem cell therapy could bring significant improvement — however, this treatment is not available in Canada and requires multiple costly visits to the United States.

How You Can Help

Please keep Noah in your prayers and ask God for a miracle in his life.

If you are able and wish to help financially:

• You can donate directly via GoFundMe:

• You can read the full story on CTV News:

• You may also give a cash donation at our church, in the next few months.
• Please use a plain envelope marked “Noah” (note: no tax receipts can be issued). We will ensure all donations are forwarded to the family.

Thank you for keeping little Noah and his family in your thoughts and prayers.

With blessings,

Fr. Maciej

Below is a letter from Fr. Maciej. Because of the postal strike, it has not been mailed.

Dear Friends of St. Clare Parish,

I hope you had a restful and refreshing summer break. As we return to our daily routines and activities, I’m reaching out to ask for your continued support of our parish.

Thanks to your generosity—through hard work, sacrifices big and small—our parish church and hall have been built, the parking lot paved, and much of the landscaping completed. Now, it’s time to move forward with a long-awaited next step: building new parish offices and a residence for the priests who serve St. Clare Parish.

We need your help—no matter the size of your gift, your participation makes a difference. What matters most is that we come together as a parish community to support this important campaign.

You can make your pledge online or by mail. If you need any assistance, please don’t hesitate to contact the parish office—we’re here to help.

"The future starts with us. Let’s build it in faith."

Your generosity supports not only the mission of the wider Church but also strengthens the heart of our own parish family. May God bless you abundantly for your kindness and support.

With gratitude,

Fr. Maciej Wos, SDS

Pastor

Contact

Please contact the parish office to make arrangements for

baptisms, weddings, funerals and other Sacraments.

If you wish to book a Mass Intention, please send your request via email at stclareofassisi@shaw.ca giving the name of the person, whether it is for a living or deceased person, who it is from and if you have any preferences for the day of the week, a weekend mass or specific date. We will try to book your mass intention as close to the request as possible.  Please note that there may be unforeseen situations when your scheduled date may be changed without notice.

The suggested offering for a mass intention is $10 and can be brought to the office, mailed to 1320 Johnson Street, Coquitlam, V3B 4T5 or dropped in the collection box in the church. Enclose your offering in an envelope clearly marked with the name and date of your Mass intention. Your offering will go to the priest who says the mass, not to the church.

If you are unable to use email, mass intentions may be phoned in at 604-941-4800.

We are able to accept multiple Mass intentions on Fridays. For all other days, the priest can accept one intention only per day.

Please pray for the sick of our Parish
