Why belong here
All Saints offers the rhythm of a small, vibrant Catholic community in the Countryside neighborhood of Clearwater — three weekend Masses plus a daily morning liturgy in the Day Chapel, Saturday confessions, and Communion / Penance services in Advent and Lent. Parishioners can grow through K-8 religious education, adult Scripture study, OCIA (Order of Christian Initiation for Adults), a parish choir, a St. Vincent de Paul conference, Knights of Columbus chapter, and a Peer Grief Counseling ministry. The parish has an active volunteer presence at Mease Countryside Hospital, several local nursing homes, Pinellas Hope, and supports FEAST Food Bank of Palm Harbor and The Kimberly Home — and long-standing friendships with Temple Ahavat Shalom, St. Alfred Episcopal Church, and Emmanuel Community Church.
