St. Clare, located in Wind Lake, and St. Thomas Aquinas, located in Waterford, have been collaborating for a number of years and share one priest. We are partners in mission! Both parishes work together toward one common goal - to faithfully fulfill the teachings of Jesus Christ. While each church is separate, we are also united and we share feast day Masses, holiday Masses, special reconciliations, First Holy Communion, and Confirmation.
It was under the direction of the Archdiocese of Milwaukee that Vision XXI was issued, in 2009, to address the priest shortage. Our two parishes are considered a “Cluster” or “Linking” of two that collaborate on a regular basis to advance our individual parish needs. Together we are "Wind & Water," One Faith Community, Two Worship Sites.
