Meet Our Priest In Charge
Welcome to St. Clare’s! I’m Rev. Lisa, and I’m honored to serve as your priest here in the Valley—a place my family and I proudly call home. My family, which includes my wife, Myra, and our four children moved to the Valley in 2019. Our youngest two children attended Mount Si High School. We walked these trails, shop at local stores, and share in the joys and challenges that come with living in this beautiful area.
Before embracing my calling as a priest, I worked as a lawyer and a hospital executive. In addition to being a priest, I am also an Assistant Professor at the University of Southern California, where I teach online in their Executive Masters of Healthcare Administration program.
My ministry is centered on the belief that the church should be a welcoming space for everyone, regardless of where you are on your spiritual journey. I’m passionate about being a priest not just for our congregation, but for the whole community. Whether you’ve been with St. Clare’s for years or are just curious to explore faith, know that you are welcome here. Feel free to reach out to me at: revlisa@stclareschurch.org
The Reverend Lisa Ozaeta
This September, St. Clare’s is dedicating five weeks to Creation Care as part of our commitment to nurturing and protecting God’s creation. Each week, we’ll explore a different theme—Pray, Learn, Do, Advocate, and Bless—inviting our community to engage in prayer, education, action, and advocacy for the environment. We will conclude with a special blessing of the animals and our local surroundings on September 29. Join us as we reflect on our role as stewards of the Earth and work together to care for the world around us.

Is St. Clare's the Right Church for Me?
Reaching Out To the Snoqualmie Valley
St. Clare's Essentials
One of the ministries of St. Clare’s Episcopal Church is to sponsor the Essentials Closet for the Snoqualmie Valley Food Bank. We accept donations of necessary paper products such as toilet paper, paper towels, disinfectant wipes etc., personal care items such as feminine products, incontinence products, tooth paste, body soap, shampoo etc., and cleaning supplies. We have also partnered with Bombas Socks and Earth Breeze laundry sheets to provide socks and laundry soap for clients of the Snoqualmie Valley Food Bank, and Reclaim Shelter Services, and Trail Youth Coffee House. Any financial donations will be used for the purchase of these items for distribution at the food bank. More specific information about this month’s distribution can be found HERE. If you would like to find out more information or would like to donate, please contact us at admin@stclareschurch.org
Knitting Ministry
We knit, crochet, and quilt prayer shawls (to wrap yourself in) and lapghans (to drape over your legs,) and make teddy bears to comfort people suffering from illness or trauma. Since inception in August of 2019, we have made over 300 prayer shawls and numerous quilts, hats, scarves and lapghans. They have been sent throughout the United States, Switzerland, Germany, and Australia.
Want to learn to knit? We can arrange lessons. If you would like to participate in our knitters ministry or know of someone in need, e-mail us at admin@stclareschurch.org.
St. Clare's Garden Ministry
St. Clare’s is blessed to have a certified master gardener as a member. Under Anne Neilson’s direction, we provide organic vegetables to the Snoqualmie Valley Food bank from early spring through late fall. We are grateful to the Rotary Club of Snoqualmie Valley and the Diocese of Olympia for their support enabling us to take care of God’s creation through prudent use of resources.
