St. Clare, Patron
Saint of sore eyes, help the poor and guide them and make sure they are safe.
Look after them with their decisions. Protect them from all harm coming their
way. Guide all their decisions and help them choose the right choice. If they
are experiencing hardship give them something to look forward to. We pray to
the Lord, Amen

The feast day of St. Clare of Assisi (August 11) is in the same month as National Immunization Month. Healthy Children.org, sponsored by the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) provides more information about the importance of vaccines for every age as well as other general information related to child health, specific guidance on parenting issues, and suggestions for getting involved in your community. The links offer insight into what organizations are doing to help children and families and why this issue is important to children around the world. As exemplified by St. Clare and her followers, known as the Poor Clares, the AAP encourages pediatricians, parents, caregivers and communities to consider what can be done to help lift children and families above hunger and poverty. Perhaps it will inspire you in your pursuit of community service, or even lifelong careers involving service to others.
