Greetings and may the peace of Christ be with you!

Having to PCS is never easy.  The military has many programs in place to make the PCS as painless as possible. 

Finding a new home is difficult enough, but having to find a new parish and school can be just as difficult.  Saint Clare Parish and Elementary School are a short drive to Aberdeen Proving Ground and there are many housing options available in the immediate area, new, previously owned and recently updated.

Please consider making Saint Clare Parish your spiritual home when you move to Maryland.  We are a community of about 1400 households; we have a day care facility on the grounds serving our 2, 3, and 4 year olds.  We offer an excellent elementary school education, in a quiet, secure neighborhood campus well off the main roads.

Our current school enrollment is 220 children with an average of 22 children in each class.  Our graduating class this year has all been accepted in to their first or second choice high school, with 50% attending Catholic High Schools, 30% attending public magnet schools, and the others attending their local high school. 

 We offer before and after care in our Day Care facility and offer several enrichment programs including a dance class.  Last year we even had a golf program offered after school!  We have active Girl Scouting and Boy Scouting programs, a soccer program that participates in the Archdiocesan Soccer League.

We have an active Ladies Sodality of the Blessed Virgin Mary and a Holy Name society for the men.  There are many opportunities for adult faith formation.

If we can be of any assistance please don’t hesitate to contact us!
