2023-2024
Family Gatherings are held within the parish for families to have the opportunity to worship, celebrate and build relationships with fellow parishioners. It is a time for families to grow in their faith with their community and this is the reason we only accept events held at St. Clare of Assisi Parish. Family Gatherings are provided to you through the Office of Faith Formation. We will be offering events throughout the school year. All children are required to complete (6) Family Gatherings. August & September will be combined into one month as will February & March – there are no gatherings in January. We will reserve that time for make-up events if need be. Registration for all events is required so that we can be sure we have enough room and so that we know who to send the details to.
Registration will open on the 1st of prior month (ex. Oct events will open 9/1 – the exception is Aug/Sept and Feb/March due to holidays the previous month). Registration will be open for two weeks each month. At that time details on those events will be sent to the families that have signed up. If you are not signed up you will not receive the details on how to proceed. To sign up for any event click the appropriate link below once sign ups open. Please sign up per family NOT per child.
