Hello Friends!
Wow, what a week this has been! I think we are still in shock from Fr. Martin's announcement last week about his new job opportunity with the Archdiocese of St. Louis as the Vicar of Strategic Planning! We wish him well, speaking of wishing him well make sure to save the date for his Farewell Reception.
IT ISN'T GOOD-BYE, IT'S SEE YOU LATER, FR. MARTIN!
He will say his last Mass at St. Clare on June 27th at 12 PM. Immediately following Mass there will be a reception with food, laughter, and goodbyes. We hope you can join us!
CONGRATS FR. CHARLIE!
Oh and we haven't forgotten about Deacon, soon-to-be Father, Charlie! He gets ordained this weekend. If you haven't RSVPed to attend in person you can view it online. Then we get to have a special celebration with him the following weekend. We might be partied out by the time June ends! 😂
CORPUS CHRISTI PROCESSION
St. Clare of Assisi and other parishes are inviting parishioners to join a Eucharistic Procession of the Most Holy Body and Blood of Christ - Corpus Christi. This is a family event and should be a lot of fun. The Knights of Columbus are inviting all parishioners to carve out 45 minutes to join us in celebrating the Eucharist.
Please see the graphic below for more information.

THE CATHOLIC ARSONIST | Natural Family Planning
It's a topic that no one wants to talk about with friends or in public, Natural Family Planning or NFP. Of course your awesome SCA podcast team tackles the topic with Alli Coiro, NFP poster child and mother of two. We dive into what NFP is and why we as Catholics should learn about it and put it into action in our lives.
Remember to give a review or email us with topic ideas at thecatholicarsonist@gmail.com. We would love to know how we are doing!
