Hello St Clare,

On behalf of the Salvatorian Fathers community, I would like to extend our heartfelt gratitude to all the parishioners. Your generosity and support are truly a blessing, and we deeply appreciate your willingness to contribute to Salvatorians (recent 2nd collection). Your donations will help sustain Salvatorian apostolates not only in Canada but also in various parts of the world where we are privileged to serve and share our ministry.

Your kindness and commitment to our mission enable us to continue spreading the message of faith, hope, and love to those in need. Through your generosity, you become part of our Salvatorian family, supporting our efforts to bring spiritual guidance, assistance, and comfort to many communities.

With grateful hearts, we pray that this Lent brings abundant blessings to your family and continues to bear fruit throughout the year.

Yours in the Divine Saviour,

Fr. Maciej

Food for Thought . . . and for the Soul

what scenes would you propose?"

The parish office is closed on

Good Friday, April 18

Easter Monday, April 21

Assigning of envelopes is computerized and based on the frequency of envelopes used in 2024.

Parishioners donating through Pre Authorized Payment (PAP) or online through the Archdiocese may request for a box of second collections only (half box) envelopes.

Envelopes are one of the ways to donate, in addition to online and pre-authorized payment. Not having envelopes does not necessarily mean that you are no longer a parishioner.

If you would like a box of envelopes, please contact the parish office.

The Jubilee is an experience of faith and a profound encounter with the Lord. The official Prayer allows pilgrims from all over the world to use the same words to express gratitude to God for the Jubilee experience and request the grace of forgiveness. (from jubilaem2025.va)

The first commandment says that we should not put other gods before the Lord. Sharing all of our gifts - our time in prayer, our talent in charitable works, and our treasure to support the Church helps us keep God first in everything. It helps us from putting other gods before God. It helps us from becoming a slave to our possessions. It helps us to use our gifts for the glory of God and not for the glory of ourselves.

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.

A MESSAGE FROM ARCHBISHOP MILLER

March 30, 2025

Dear Brothers and Sisters in Christ:

As is customary, next Sunday is Share Lent Sunday, when the Canadian faithful join together to support the international initiatives of Development & Peace – Caritas Canada, which addresses the root causes of poverty, oppression and inequality in the developing world. On April 6, I hope that you will give generously in support of this year’s Share Lent Appeal.

Lent is a favourable time to practise works of charity by sharing your blessings joyfully with others. Take advantage of this holy season to reach out to your brothers and sisters who lie wounded along the path of life (cf. Lk 10:25-37). Lent invites us to become more sensitive to the presence of the poor in our world and to seek them out. Mother Church combats all forms of poverty because she wants every person to live in the full dignity of a child of God. On Share Lent Sunday, you can respond to Jesus’ call to do good to all, especially those in developing countries who lack material and spiritual resources, and those discriminated against and marginalized. On your journey of conversion, make this Lent an occasion for self-denial that is truly sacrificial. As a way of celebrating this Jubilee Year, I urge everyone to ignite the light of hope by contemplating Jesus in the face of those in the Global South who are in need of your help.

This year’s Share Lent theme, “Turning Debt Into Hope,” is part of a global campaign sponsored by Caritas International, the Catholic Church’s global development arm. Please consider signing the Caritas petition calling on public, private and multilateral creditors, as well as political leaders, to act with courage and compassion. The petition is found at TurnDebtIntoHope.caritas.org.

As you prepare for the celebration of Jesus’ Death and Resurrection, I hope you will respond to next Sunday’s Share Lent Appeal with a generous heart.

With gratitude for your timely support and my prayers for you and your families, I remain

Sincerely yours in Christ,

 J. Michael Miller, CSB

Apostolic Administrator

Archdiocese of Vancouver

Please sign the global Turn Debt into Hope campaign petition that calls for an end to unjust debt. With inequalities widening as rich countries continue enriching themselves by exploiting the resources of the poorest countries, we respond to Pope Francis’s call:



“In the spirit of this Jubilee Year, I urge the international community to work towards forgiving foreign debt in recognition of the ecological debt existing between the North and the South of this world. This is an appeal for solidarity, but above all for justice.” (Message for the World Day of Peace, January 1, 2025)

Help us reach the Canadian goal of 100,000 signatures, which will feed into the global goal of 10 million signatures. Sign now at devp.org/debt. Thank you for your solidarity!

The goal of “Fiat” Women’s Online Discernment Group is to provide a prayerful environment for young women to discern their vocation, primarily the possible call to Religious Life. These women are given an opportunity to listen to and discuss certain topics about discernment and Religious life in general. Hopefully this Discernment Group will be a good preparation for women who are called to Religious Life to enter the community they are called to with peace and an adequate knowledge of what the Church is asking and desiring for Religious Life.
