Auction Updates
We are thrilled to share that our Knight on the Diamond auction and gala was a tremendous success, raising a little over $200,000 (net amount) for St. Clare School! This incredible achievement would not have been possible without the generosity of our sponsors, donors, families, and community members who continue to support our mission. Your contributions make a lasting impact on our students, faculty, and school programs. This is something to celebrate!
To ensure these funds are put to the best possible use, our administration will be working closely with Fr. Jim and Fr. Nick to identify the most meaningful ways to enhance our school and community. We look forward to sharing updates on how your generosity will make a difference.
Thank you for being a part of this unforgettable evening and for your support of St. Clare School!
Go Knights!

St. Clare Parish
St. Nicholas Parish
All women are invited to the next Women to Women gathering on April 10th in the St. Nicholas Parish Hall. The evening will begin with light refreshments and wine at 6:30pm. The event, “One Woman Connects”, will feature Sarah Surrey. Sarah is a St. Clare School parent, an active member of our greater Catholic community, and a Licensed Clinical Social Worker at Karla Smith Behavioral Health. She will share her inspiring message about her faith journey and the role that community and meaningful connection contribute to her active faith life. Hear Sarah, the daughter of a Southern Baptist Preacher, describe how a few curious steps taken two years ago through the doors of a Catholic Church, changed her entire life.
Please register in the St. Nicholas gathering area after Mass or by calling the parish office at 618-632-1797. Please bring a friend and we hope to see you there!
