Parish Planting & The Communion of Saints

Text us a question now! [https://www.buzzsprout.com/2428571/fan_mail/new] Did you know our parish history actually starts before we even had a church building? In this episode, Kayli and Fr. Tim sit down with Beth Mulqueen, our Coordinator of Parish & Community Relations, who has been a part of St. Clare since day one.  Tune in as Beth shares hilarious and heartwarming behind-the-scenes stories of planting our parish from scratch, back when St. Clare of Assisi was still just a mission. Along the way, the crew dives into when Fr. Tim arrived at St. Clare, while also taking a look into the broader history of the Catholic Church in America. Whether you are a long-time parishioner or just love a good origin story, you won't want to miss this incredible conversation.
