The Church of St. Clare, located in Great Kills, Staten Island, New York City, is the largest parish under the authority of the Roman Catholic Archdiocese of New York, named for the 13th-century Italian saint Clare of Assisi. The church was established in 1918, originally as a mission of Richmondtown's Church of St. Patrick, and then became an independent parish in 1925. St. Clare's first church building, dedicated in 1921, became a chapel when the current octagonal church was completed in 1959. The fulltime St. Clare School (K–8) opened in 1936.[2]

St. Clare's Church received widespread media coverage after 29 parishioners died as a result of the September 11 attacks in 2001, and the church now has an eternal flame in their memory.[3]
