    Clare's Closet Request
Our History

Early in 2015, Rev. Daniel Gutierrez, made the parish aware of the need in Rio Rancho, NM, for a place where families in need could purchase children's items for very little. At that time, most of our elementary schools were Title 1 schools, with many families receiving free lunches. Sadly, today we are seeing an increase in homeless children in our schools. Since that time we have been serving the community through
Clare's Closet.
