Our Lady Of Hope Parish

About this church

Our Lady of Hope Parish celebrates weekend Mass at 4:00 p.m. Saturday and 9:30 a.m. Sunday at 106 East Wheaton Avenue in Clare. A first-Saturday Mass begins at 9:00 a.m., and the parish publishes weekday Mass, Adoration, and Reconciliation details on its current calendar. Confession is available for a half hour before weekend Masses. Because holy-day and weekday schedules can vary, the official Mass page remains the best final check before a visit.

The Catholic parish serves through religious education, preschool and extended care, prayer, financial support, and community ministries. Its history reaches across several mid-Michigan Catholic communities: St. Henry began as the Vernon mission in 1874, developed a school and academy, and rebuilt after a 1922 church fire; St. Charles Mission at Leaton dates to 1906. The current parish carries that regional history while offering a simple two-Mass weekend schedule in Clare. Families can also explore a state-licensed, faith-based preschool and before- and after-school care. For newcomers, the listing combines the practical—Mass times, confession, education, address—with the history of missions, schools, and rebuilding that shaped the parish long before its present name.
