From Daniel and an update on 3591 degrees

Thank you so much for your prayers and good wishes. Your prayers have been answered. My mother's growth has turned out to be benign. Thanks so much! 
-------------
And now for something completely different, degrees.  I've received word from our parent council, 3591 in Tigard, that men seeking the degree of initiation should be there by 6pm in the parish office at St. Anthony's.  Contact Ted Seeber, seebert42@gmail.com if you are interested- even if you've had your 1st degree, it's worth going to see this team in action.

And that a 2nd and 3rd has now been rescheduled for our area:For those Brothers that need to complete the Formation (2nd) Degree and the Knighthood (3rd) Degree the Holy Family Council in SE Portland will be hosting these degrees on Saturday afternoon Oct. 6
If you are interested in participating and completing these degrees please contact Grand Knight Joe Jones at jajones503@gmail.com for more information.

If you need your Initiation Degree

Please let Ted Seeber, seebert42@gmail.com, know if you are free for the Council 3591 meeting on October 3rd.  We will need to be at St. Anthony's by 6:30pm for paperwork and Admissions meeting.

I will attempt to call people Sunday Night.

St. Clare Breakfast Time

Call for volunteers!  The next St. Clare Breakfast will be October 7, just a little over a week away.   Ted Seeber, GK, is the breakfast captain for this, so volunteer responses to seebert42@gmail.com are appreciated.

Three shifts are available to work as usual.
October 6, 6pm-8pm -setup/grocery delivery- we never go the full two hours if we have at least three people volunteering, usually a lot less.  Easy to make it to 5pm Mass and help,.
October 7, 7am-10:30am- First Shift Breakfast.  Depending on the job, you *might* be able to make it to 8:30 Mass, if you're willing to pull a Judas Shuffle to let us know that the Eucharist is happening and take up your position before people come from Mass.
October 7, 10:30am-2pm - once again, depending on your job, you may be able to attend 10:45 Mass, if you're willing to pull a Judas Shuffle to let us know that the Eucharist is happening and take up your position before people come from Mass.  You may also leave early IF there are enough people left for cleanup, or if we get cleanup done early.

We will be serving 9:30am-12:15pm.  Big rushes are 9:30am-10am, and 11:45am-12 noon.

The last few breakfasts we've served between 125-175 plates.  So any and all help is requested and appreciated.  I'll be sending the link for this blog post to Sisters in the Spirit as well.

Reposted from SIS e-mail, a prayer request from our former GK

I am requesting prayers for my mother---for she is recovering from some back problems (my mother suffers from scoliosis) and has to go in to have a lump on her back checked-out for possible skin cancer and have it surgically removed if necessary. Please pray for her recovery and her screening.

First Breakfast at St. John Fisher, Sunday, September 23

If you can help and have not already done so, please volunteer with Mike Devlin at mdevprop@hotmail.com.  Right now, our breakfasts are our most visible action in both parishes, so I urge you to volunteer.  Mike revealed to us at the meeting last night that his greatest needs are 9:30am-11am and 11:30am-2pm, so if you can make either of those times, drop him a line to let him know you're coming.

Laurie Z. has just sent me an e-mail.  We're on the calendar for 4 breakfasts at St. Clare's in the coming year:

These are all Family Masses with the youth choir.  Contact Ted Seeber, seebert42@gmail.com, to volunteer.
