Sunday, November 5 is another breakfast at St. Clare's.  W e still need plenty of volunteers!  Both shifts on Sunday are wide open, so it should be easy to find a time that works for you.  On both shifts, Serving Line and Dining Room may also choose to attend Mass, as long as you do the Judas Shuffle to come tell us when The Blessed Sacrament is being distributed, so that we can prepare for the 9:30am and 11:45 am rushes. Contact Ted Seeber, seebert42@gmail.com , to volunteer. Please also remember the Time Change will happen at 1-2am on November 5th, so we might want to try to have some stuff ready early for people arriving an hour before Mass.Ted will attempt to have the doors open at 6:30 am to start making coffee.

Dear Brother Knights, Father Don, one of our chaplains and parish priests of Saint Clare's Catholic Church when asked how we can help him would like us to focus more on spiritual development.  Please read the Prologue, Opening Thoughts and Chapter 1 in Matthew Kelly's book Rediscovering Jesus--An Invitation before our next meeting and be prepared to think about, pray about and share your answers to the following questions in the meeting. Know that sharing is optional. Only share what you feel comfortable and moved to share at the time. I will facilitate the conversation as Grand Knight. "Prologue: Are You Jesus?" How much is the sheer busyness of your life preventing you from living the life God is calling you to life? Feel free to also answer the question differently if you feel you are not busy enough and share how God might be calling you to become more involved and how exactly?  Even feel free to share your testimony if you feel God has already found ...

Dear Brother Knights, As you know, one of the outcomes when we asked Father Don for help is that we help Father Don when we pray for his parish. Please keep Saint Clare Catholic Church in your prayers. Please especially pray for our very own Rick LeFaivre who was ordained a deacon last Thursday and will be ordained a priest this coming June. After this priestly ordination he will study one more year in Rome and then be assigned to serve in a parish here in the diocese. Please keep Rick in your prayers. Please pray for Father Don as he is away at the annual Priest's Convocation. By all means, also keep St. John Fisher in your prayers too and your priests and deacons. Looking forward! Thanks so much! May the peace of Christ be with you! Sincerely, Brother Daniel Salomon, GK

$508 net $254 for the parish $254 for the council. Thank you to the guys who came up from St. Anthony's to volunteer and help out- Brian, Joe, Steve and Scott.  Thank you also to Dave Hullinger for cooking for us! We ran out of eggs, sausage, and went through more than 25 lbs of pancake mix.  Ted Seeber ran out to the store in the middle to get a hundred more sausages and 10 dozen more eggs, and we ran out of sausages at the end and only had 2 gallon bags of eggs left, both of which went to our Grand Knight Daniel.
