The purpose of the Human Concerns Committee is to discern the needs of the people in the parish and wider community, especially the poor, and identify resources to meet those needs, while enlisting the active support and participation of parish members.
We currently have about twenty members. New members are always welcome! We are in need of volunteers to help with our upcoming projects. We do not meet during the summer. Please consider joining us!
Meetings are the second Tuesday of every month at 12:00 noon in Holy Family Hall. Please check the Parish Calendar to confirm.
We meet nine times a year. Some attend meetings to help brainstorm ideas. If you cannot attend the meetings, we still have many areas in which you can participate. If you are Pro-life, you will be pleased to know our committee supports the centers and agencies that are actively helping Moms in need. If you have compassion for those less fortunate, you will be a big asset in helping with the monthly meal we provide at Love Inc. in Burlington, and replenishing the shelves at Norway Helping Hands Food Pantry. Other areas of involvement are Hospitality, Food and Clothing Drives and Bereavement.
If you have any questions about the Human Concerns Committee, please contact Debbie Klamert at 262-895-7524 or email: debbieklamert@yahoo.com

Love Inc. Meal Program in Burlington. The fourth Wednesday of each month, St. Clare prepares, delivers and serves a meal at Love Inc. in Burlington. A sign-up book is located in the Narthex at the Information Station. Parishioners can sign-up to donate food, help cook or serve meals. We usually serve between 30 and 40 people each month.
Souper Bowl Sunday is held in February and corresponds with Super Bowl Sunday. We ask parishioners of both churches to contribute a can or two of soup to the food pantry.
