COVID-19 AND OUR PRECAUTIONS
Effective March 17 and until further notice, all parish activities are suspended. This includes weekday and weekend Masses, Confessions, small groups, classes, and Stations of the Cross. Our parish offices are now closed to the public. Staff members will work from home and may be reached by email and their individual office numbers (see below). These measures are taken from the directive issued by Bishop Guglielmone and public health officials.

Jesus Christ, Heal Us
Jesus Christ, you traveled through towns and villages “curing every disease and illness.” At your command, the sick were made well. Come to our aid now, in the midst of the global spread of the coronavirus, that we may experience your healing love.
Heal those who are sick with the virus. May they regain their strength and health through quality medical care.
Heal us from our fear, which prevents nations from working together and neighbors from helping one another.
Heal us from our pride, which can make us claim invulnerability to a disease that knows no borders.
Jesus Christ, you traveled through towns and villages “curing every disease and illness.” Come to our aid now, that we may experience your healing love.
Jesus Christ, healer of all, stay by our side in this time of uncertainty and sorrow.
Be with those who have died from the virus. May they be at rest with you in your eternal peace.
Be with the families of those who are sick or have died. As they worry and grieve, defend them from illness and despair. May they know your peace.
Be with the doctors, nurses, researchers and all medical professionals who seek to heal and help those affected and who put themselves at risk in the process. May they know your protection and peace.
Be with the leaders of all nations. Give them the foresight to act with charity and true concern for the well-being of the people they are meant to serve. Give them the wisdom to invest in long-term solutions that will help prepare for or prevent future outbreaks. May they know your peace, as they work together to achieve it on earth.
Whether we are home or abroad, surrounded by many people suffering from this illness or only a few, Jesus Christ, stay with us as we endure and mourn, persist and prepare. In place of our anxiety, give us your peace.
Jesus Christ, heal us.

Saint Clare of Assisi Catholic Church was established on Easter Sunday, April 20, 2014. Our parish geography encompasses Daniel Island and the Cainhoy peninsula, although our 2,300+ members come from all over the metro Charleston area.
We joyfully live our Christian vocation by building the Kingdom of God through the sacraments, worship and prayer, faith formation, fellowship, and service to others. We are Catholic, the full and oldest embodiment of Christianity, the Church established by Jesus Christ and his Apostles.

As intentional disciples of Jesus Christ, guided by the Holy Spirit, and inspired by Saint Clare of Assisi, we seek to “love God and serve God, for everything is in that.”
Prayer to Saint Clare of Assisi
O glorious Saint Clare of Assisi, guided by the Spirit and with zeal for the Faith, you sacrificed comfort for the cloister, wealth for well-being, and privilege for poverty. Inspired by your fervent love of Jesus and the Holy Eucharist, we humbly seek your intercession before our Lord, that we who have been chosen to build the Kingdom of God may construct for Him a house of worship that reflects His divine glory and our gratitude for His infinite goodness to us all. Dear saint of God, help us to see the immense importance of this project as a testimony to our love of God and as our duty to lead others to Him, so that our families, our community and our world, for generations to come, may live in the splendors of eternity with Him and all the saints. Amen.
