About St Clare's Episcopal Church
St. Clare's Episcopal Church in Pleasanton welcomes all to celebrate Holy Eucharist together on Sundays at 8 a.m. and 10 a.m., with the 10 a.m. service featuring music led by director Velma Chan and available via livestream. The church's liturgy follows nearly two thousand years of Episcopal tradition, beginning with the Liturgy of the Word, including Scripture readings and a 15-20 minute sermon, followed by the Liturgy of the Eucharist where bread and wine are blessed and shared with all invited to participate or receive a blessing. St. Clare's is currently in a period of transition following the retirement of longtime rector Rev. Ronald Culmer and actively seeks a new rector while maintaining its welcoming community. The parish emphasizes accessibility and inclusion, with gluten-free communion options, unisex bathrooms, preferred pronoun buttons, and a camera-free worship zone available. Beyond Sunday services, St. Clare's offers Evening Prayer weeknights at 7 p.m., a book club, the Stonewall Community for LGBTQ+ connection, and Fellowship Circles for monthly gatherings.
