PLEASE READ - St. Clare Fundraiser CANCELLED DUE TO FLOOD!
August 29, 2017
Dear Brothers and Sisters,
Houston is devastated!
The question we were asking this morning is: “What would Jesus and St. Clare do in a situation like this?” With little hesitation, and after consultation with our fundraiser coordinators, the answer was: “Help our friends and neighbors and those in desperate need here in Houston.”
Therefore, we will give the approximately $6,000 already collected for our fundraiser to our Prince of Peace Mercy Center where we work, which will soon begin providing for the needs of the people. All of you that were planning to support us on that particular day, please give your time and energy instead to helping your neighbors in need. If you are in need, please let us know.
This is what the Brothers and Sisters of Charity’s spirit and charism and vision is, to help spontaneously where God’s people are in need, especially in such a desperate historical period of time, and set aside our own needs and comforts.
So, this year we are celebrating our Fourth Annual St. Clare Monastery Fundraiser differently, by giving to those who are in need rather than keeping the money for our own needs. So you, as our friends and benefactors, will also be part of this celebration of giving. Hopefully next year we will be able to celebrate our Fifth Annual St. Clare Monastery Fundraiser with you in great joy and jubilation.
Sincerely yours in Christ,
The Brothers and Sisters of Charity
And the St. Clare Monastery Fundraiser Coordinators -
About St. Clare Monastery
St. Clare Monastery is an urban monastic residence for a small spiritual family situated on 2.04 acres with over 7,000 square ft. and 5-6 bedrooms. This allows us the privacy for a peaceful and unobtrusive setting for contemplative prayer, and necessary space for monastic residents, vocational guests, a weekly cell group meeting of members and friends, and those making days of recollection.
We hope you become an active part of the spiritual life of the Brothers and Sisters of Charity! We want to be an active part in your spiritual growth! Please come and see!
