St. Clare Updates for
September 26 - October 9, 2026
| | |
Greetings!
Our plans for a new residence for our priests and a new parish office are moving forward. The design is complete, preliminary work is underway, and applications to the City for the necessary approvals are the next step. This project is becoming a reality!
As one of the ways to raise funds, we will be selling coffee beans from Creekside Factory, a local coffee roaster in Coquitlam. Every purchase will help support the project. Coffee will be available at the CWL table, at the Knights of Columbus table during pancake breakfasts, and at other parish events.
The next time you’re looking for a gift, why not choose a bag of coffee instead of a bottle of wine? Thank you for supporting this important project!
Fr. Maciej

PROJECT ADVANCE 2026
*****. We have raised $125,787 towards our goal of $$250,000 *****
(HALF WAY THERE!!!)
And that is from only 25% of our fellow parishioners. We have exceeded our diocesan goal of $63,300 so now every single additional dollar donated comes right back to the parish to help pay down our mortgage as well as help “build our new rectory”.
Soon, if you have not already donated there will be a letter and a pledge form in the mail from Fr. Majiej reminding you how important this campaign is to our parish. Please consider making a donation prayerfully.
Remember, every gift regardless of its size make a difference. Every gift counts.
You can donate online at projectadvance.ca or pick up a pledge form in the lobby (in the forms rack on the wall by the bulletin board). The completed pledge can be dropped in the collection box, or it can be mailed or dropped in person at the office.
Our way forward begins with your generosity in growing our parish and local Catholic community. We’re very grateful for your support.

"As we continue the Archdiocesan Renewal Process, I ask for your assistance in fostering a common spirit of prayer across the Archdiocese through the regular use of the Prayer for Renewal in the Archdiocese of Vancouver. This prayer invites a new outpouring of the Holy Spirit and asks the Lord to renew our parishes, clergy, schools, stewardship, liturgical life, and missionary discipleship." - Archbishop Richard W. Smith

Stewardship Reflection
September 27, 2026 - 26th Sunday in Ordinary Time
“Do nothing out of selfishness; rather, humbly regard others as more important than yourselves…” - Philippians 2:3
Pride and ego are hard things to control. We see how others act or dress and think we are superior to them. We idolize our own self-image. But, if we truly believe everything is a gift from God, we recognize all the people that God has put in our lives as gifts! We are grateful for how they enrich our lives. Pray every day for the people in your life: your family, your friends and those who make you angry.

What am I looking for in life?
What is the meaning of my life?
How can I be a better person?
What can I do about the loneliness I feel?
How can I come to know God's love?
How can I know the right path God has in store for me?

Mass Intentions
Dates may be subject to change without notice.
| | |
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. | | |
