St. Clare Updates for

September 27 - October 10, 2025

Greetings!

We are pleased to share that St. Clare’s has reached the Diocesan target for Project Advance! This means that every additional dollar donated for the rest of the year will remain with our parish. These funds will go toward either paying down our mortgage or being set aside for a new parish office and rectory for our clergy.

UPCOMING SPECIAL COLLECTIONS

September 28: Needs of the Canadian Church

To support the work of the Canadian Conference of Catholic Bishops

Donations may be dropped in the designated collection box located at the back of the church or in the Sunday collection basket circulated during the weekend Masses.

Our Project Advance 2025 Campaign runs until the end of the year and if you have not already made a donation, we are reminding you with a letter and a pledge form from Fr. Maciej which should be arriving in your mailbox in the next week or so. We ask you to take a few moments to prayerfully consider if you can make a contribution.

BEWARE OF EMAIL SCAMS!

Email purportedly from Fr. Maciej is again making its way to our parishioners. Never respond to emails requesting cash, gift cards, or any other form of personal financial assistance, even if it appears to be from a priest.

STEWARDSHIP REFLECTION

September 28

26th Sunday in Ordinary Time

“My child, remember that you received what was good during your lifetime while Lazarus likewise received what was bad; but now he is comforted here, whereas you are tormented. Moreover, between us and you a great chasm is established…”

Luke 16:25-26

When God created the world, He declared that it was good, and He gave it to all mankind for us to enjoy. However, over the years we have created a chasm between those who have great gifts and those who do not. In today’s Gospel we see that with our own generosity we must bridge that gap between those who have much and those who have little, or we may find ourselves on the wrong side of the chasm in the next life.

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, we can book one intention only.
