A Special Thanks to all of our Hurricane Harvey Volunteers. The St. Clare Knights of Columbus joined with other members of the parish to help those most severely affected by Hurricane Harvey. Volunteers met in the church parking lot every day for over a week following the storm; a heartening display for those in need in the community. The St. Clare Christians in Action group continues to see and increased need for those affected by the storm.
Hurricane Harvey was the first major hurricane (Category 3+) to make landfall in the US in 12 years. In the unprecedented four-day period, our area received 52 inches of rain, the most ever recorded in the continental US. The resulting floods inundated hundreds of thousands of homes, displacing more than 30,000 people, prompting more than 17,000 rescues, and at least 82 confirmed deaths.
