Library Ministry

Arise Men’s Ministry has been established to form and strengthen Catholic men in faith and virtue as missionary disciples by drawing them into a deeper relationship with Jesus Christ through prayer, formation, and fraternity. This is an excellent opportunity for the men of St. Clare Parish to get to know each other better, to support each other as we grow in holiness, and become better men, husbands, fathers, brothers, and sons. 


Welcome to Our St. Clare Library


The St. Clare library ministry team invites you to visit our library located in the St. Clare room located off the narthex in the church.  Come explore our collection of books to nourish you on your faith journey. Books and other resources are available for all ages.   Checking out books and resources is easy – no library card is needed. Just follow the instructions posted on the shelf.  The library brochure in the narthex provides more detailed information about our collection of books and resources.


Reading With Jesus Parish Challenge


Join us in the Reading with Jesus challenge and grow in your faith! Children, teens and adults who read for four hours during the month an earn a special little Jesus figurine. Pick up reading forms in the St. Clare library-full page forms are for children and half-pages are for teens and adults. 


Read a Bible or any book from the St. Clare library, a public library, or from your own collection. Then, bring your completed form to the St. Clare library after any Mass on the first full weekend of the month (October 3-4 and November 7-8) to receive your little Jesus figurine. 


Whatever you choose to read, the important thing is to READ WITH JESUS!
