ACTS Retreats (Men's & Women's)

ACTS is a three-day Catholic lay retreat, designed to help retreatants enter into a deeper relationship with the Lord. ACTS retreats are given by parishioners for parishioners, and in this way, serve to build Christian community at their parish. Retreats provide chances to relax and focus on your faith journey. Holy Scripture and the teachings of the Catholic Church are the guide for this movement.

Altar Linen Ministry

The Altar Linen ministry serves the parish by laundering the linens used during Mass. Volunteers pick up the soiled laundry each Monday morning from the Sacristy and wash the linens at home. Linens are ironed and returned to the church on Thursdays each week to be ready for the upcoming weekend.

Clairvaux Women’s Club

All women of the parish are invited to participate in the Clairvaux Women's Club. The purpose of the group is to provide the women of our parish opportunities for community, spiritual growth, and service to others. To receive emails and/or text messages, be sure to join the Flocknote group.

Dinners for Eight

Are you a foodie? Enjoy eating? Meeting new people? Want to meet other parishioners? Dinners for Eight may be for you. Here’s how it works: Dinners for Eight has two sessions, spring and fall. Participants are randomly assigned to a group of 8 people (usually 4 couples but sometimes includes singles). Once a month for four months the group meets for dinner (or other times determined by the group), with the host/hostess rotating each month. At the beginning of the session, groups are randomly assigned again. New sign up times are announced in the bulletin and available at the church. Come and join in the fun! For more information or to sign up, contact coordinators Lesa Clark at lesa25ok@sbcglobal.net and Randy Smith at randysmith1970@sbcglobal.net.

Seniors of Clairvaux
