Knights of Columbus
John Clare Council #15485

First of all pray for Michael Chau, who recently had emergency surgery to remove his appendix.   Second, I had the wrong person.  Please e-mail Daniel Salomon , danielsalomon@comcast.net, to volunteer for Saturday's Pentecost saetup at St Clare.

Can you believe it is already Pentecost?  Once again, Pia and BJ are arranging a neat party at St. Clare's.  But it will take volunteers on deck to make it happen.  The Knights are on task for setup after 5pm Mass and teardown Sunday after the ethnic sauce dinner.  Please volunteer if you are able. Also happening, is the June First Saturday Adoration, featuring the Knights at 3pm for a Chaplet of Divine Mercy and a pro-life Rosary.  Ted will lead this one, but due to family commitments cannot lead it in July.  Come experience this prayer for life at St. Clare's, and consider leading it July 1st if you are able.  Benediction will be after the Rosary led by Deacon Bill at 3;45pm. Contact Ted Seeber ( seebert42@gmail.com ) or Michael Chau ( cowboychau@gmail.com ) to volunteer for either of these events.

Ted Reports: I'm sure Deacon Scott will be posting an agenda, but our next meeting in Monday May 15th at 7pm, in the Fireside Room at St. Clare's. It should be an exciting, though potentially long, meeting. We will be hearing from Daniel for a report from the State Convention, as well as passing out a written report from Jim. I have invited strangers to the order to this meeting, so we might, at the end of the meeting, pull out the 1st Degree DVD and props to initiate new members. If I see any potential recruits at the flower sale this weekend, I'm inviting them- as we all should.

Dear Brother Knights,    I received a call from a parishioner today.  She lives in an apartment on Beaverton-Hillsdale near SJF.  She is without a car and is looking for help in two ways: 1) She would like to donate some household goods to Jean's Place, a woman's shelter part of Transitions Projects in NE Portland (18 NE 11th).  We cannot store them at SJF as we prepare for our construction, so it would be picking up items at her place and taking them to Transitions Projects. 2) She needs a ride to the airport next Wednesday, May 17th, leaving her place about 3:30-4:00 am.  She is asking due to a set-income. Please let me know very soon if you are able to help with either of these tasks. God bless. Deacon Scott 971-226-3119 scoitik18@yahoo.com

Hillsboro 2nd and 3rd Degree on May 20 Hillsboro Council #1634 will be hosting an Advanced Degree (2nd and 3rd) Exemplification on Saturday May 20. For the northern half of Oregon, this is the last scheduled for this Fraternal year and through the summer. Note: Having your Knighthood Degree (3rd) is a requirement to be a Council Officer Please make arrangements to call all 1st Degree members of your council and invite them to Hillsboro on Saturday May 20 (Travel/Membership cards required). I encourage everyone to think of your own membership in the Knights of Columbus as also being an heir of an organization you want to be sure continues and expands its ministry. Records show that most 2nd and 3rd degree Knights remain members, active members. So let’s everyone continue to build the greatness of the organization we share an ownership of. Let's make Hillsboro the "LARGEST Class of the Year". Carpool or Rent a Bus Fraternally, Mike Woody Oregon Membership Dir...

Thank you to all of our Breakfast Volunteers. On Saturday Night, Michael Chau, Phil Jarvis, Ted Seeber, and Judy Van Domelen cleaned and set up the hall after Laura and Paul's wedding reception. Then Ken Paulsen brought all the groceries in. Sunday morning bright and early at 6am, Ted was back making coffee, and getting last minute shopping done. About 7:30, Laura Bowers came in and started putting together the fruit and sausages. At 8, David McLean, a potential new member arrived and helped finish setup, then cooked 20+ a bit pounds of pancake batter up. Phil Jarvis took in money, while Donna Jarvis did early serving before Paul Pompili and Tom Owens took over. Don Mey came in to do eggs, and Marc Gregoire took care of the front along with Donna and Christopher Seeber (Christopher, of course, took care of our "Honored Church Ladies", as usual). Michael Chau and David on the grill put lots of blueberries onto pancakes. Deacon Scott served up dishes and helped ge...
