Mission Statement

As one of the first to gather Christians in California, the community of St. Clare of Assisi Parish seeks to fulfill its heritage by being heralds of the Gospel of Jesus Christ: by serving our own parishioners and members of the wider community in charity and justice, by welcoming immigrants and strangers. We are an ethnically diverse community that finds strength in unity, love and peace, and we strive to live these virtues in the present in order to sustain hope for our future.
