MESSAGE FROM OUR BISHOP:
 

For a number of years, people have been gathering at a shrine erected in honor of Our Lady of Guadalupe on Hope and Madison Avenues in the City of Passaic, New Jersey. The belief of some individuals in an alleged apparition of Mary in a tree stump has led them to turn the site into a place of popular piety. This is not a place of devotion officially recognized or sanctioned by the Roman Catholic Diocese of Paterson. 

Furthermore, the alleged apparition of Our Lady of Guadalupe at this site has never been confirmed by any Church investigation or approved by the bishop of the diocese. Also, the collection of monies at this site has been done without the involvement of the diocese. 
 

In order to avoid all confusion and misunderstanding of authentic Marian piety, I hereby encourage all the faithful to participate in the devotions and pious practices in honor of Our Lady of Guadalupe within any one of our parishes and not at the site of an alleged apparition of Our Blessed Mother nor in conjunction with the a tree stump in which Mary is said to have appeared. Please know that this alleged apparition has none of the consistent characteristics of Marian apparitions approved by the Church.
 

Saint Clare Parish survives from the generous donations of the people of God that attend Mass in our church. This is why it is important that all parishioners do their part in the financial support of this parish. If you have not done so already, please fill out your pledge card today and return it to the parish. If you already filled it out, thank you. Also know that the increase offertory is a commitment that we make with the Church and should continue weekly. Thank you for being so kind and generous to your parish.  We truly do need your financial support!
