GET INVOLVED

Get Involved In Our Ministries

At Saint Clare of Assisi, we believe that every person is called to be a living part of the Body of Christ. Whether you're new to our parish or have been walking with us for years, there's a place for you to serve, grow, and belong.



The growing number of ministries is a clear sign that our parish family is flourishing. As more hearts respond to the call to serve, our community becomes stronger, more connected, and more alive in Christ.

Volunteer Requirements

To ensure a safe and welcoming environment for all, every volunteer aged 18 and older must complete VIRTUS training and be fingerprinted in accordance with diocesan guidelines. These steps help protect our parish community and uphold our shared commitment to safeguarding children and vulnerable adults.

If you're interested in serving, please contact the parish office for guidance on how to begin the process.

📣 Stay Informed

Upcoming VIRTUS training sessions are announced in the parish bulletin—be sure to check regularly so you don’t miss important dates or registration details.
