Knights of Columbus
John Clare Council #15485

If you do not already do so, you really need to check out Mater Dei Radio's Voice of the Shepherd .  It normally runs 7:30 pm on Tuesdays, and 7:30am on Sundays.  So far, Archbishop Sample has been excellent!

Dear Volunteers, For this Sunday, we still need help with Coffee and Donuts at the 8:30am Mass. If you are available to prep and/or serve, please let us know by replying to this email and copying Pia de Leon at pia@saintclarechurch.org . This shortage is due to Knights not being able to a do the breakfast with Ted Seeber and Micahel Chau out of town, so let's step up and help for the 9:20-10:45 shift. Thank you very much! We appreciate your service.

Thank you very much!   I believe merely letting Pia know if you are available for C&D duty will be enough.  Let's get some Knights in to fill this need!

We're meeting in at the Garden Home Tualatin Valley Recreation Center Parking lot.  (That's across Olson Rd. from Lamb's Thriftway and Shari's Restaurant.) Here's a map:  (I hope this prints....)   We're starting at the right side of this map ("START HERE") and biking west to visit Vista Brook Park so that the kids can play on the swings / slides etc., then onward to Burgerville for a milkshake at the upper left corner of the map. This will be a leisurly ride, as bikes share the paved pathway with pedestrians.  There are a couple residential street that we'll cross and Old Scholls Ferry Rd. near Burgerville - otherwise, there is no auto traffic along our route.  The ride is slightly downhill toward Burgerville (and slightly uphill on the...
