During Lent, Deacon Bill would like to have St. Clare's open for private prayer 2:30pm-3:30pm on Wednesdays, Thursdays, and Fridays.  If you happen to have this hole in your schedule and would like to volunteer to help with this effort and spend an hour with Our Lord in the Eucharist, please contact dcnbill@saintclarechurch.org This is a fine volunteer opportunity for some of our families as well.

The following was e-mailed to me From Bill: I humbly write all of you today to thank you for all of your good work. I also an writing to let you know that I did lose my case before the 9th Circuit Court. As a result of the loss, Portland Public Schools is demanding that I pay some of their legal fees. Some friends are preparing a benefit dinner on March 9, 2019 at Holy Rosary Church in NE Portland at 7:00 PM. --------------------- After a legal battle spanning nearly four years, the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals ruled against Bill Diss’ free exercise and religious discrimination claims. “We are very disappointed in the Court’s ruling,” stated Rebekah Millard, staff counsel for Life Legal Defense Foundation who along with Portland Attorney Micah Fargey represented Bill Diss. “Bill is a man of integrity and faith, and he has been subjected to unfair, discriminatory treatment by Portland Public Schools and now by the Courts.” In ruling that Portland Public Schools was justified in t...

At least for our two volunteer opportunities this weekend.  Both will be rescheduled at a later date.

Linda Collins move is canceled for a week.  Now 8am on 2-16-1999. We are discussing rescheduling Sunday Breakfast Given the uncertainty of weather this weekend, and how busy we were planning on being, text Ted Seeber at 503-318-1508 with events ypu wish to be informed about.

To make it easier for us to get done in time for Janet P.'s funeral, Linda would like us to meet at 9:00 am at the Public Storage at 8437 SW Barbur Blvd, Portland, OR 97219. Her new house is at the corner of Butner and 126th in Beaverton, just north of Commonwealth Lake.  Anybody who has availability with a pickup truck is requested to help, as it took 3 loads on the Uhaul to begin with, and the faster we do this move the better.

I know many of you already said you would be willing to work next Sunday.  Please send your availability to the Breakfast Captain, Mike Devlin , mdevprop@hotmai.com

Deo Gratias!  She has a house. Saturday, February 9th at 10 am. This is one of those "all hands are good hands" events for our council; an excellent chance to model for your children and grandchildren the virtue of charity. You can call Linda at  971-263-7612 for more info.

 It is with deep sadness that we inform the Parish that Janet Patella has passed away last night (February 4).  Her family has indicated that her funeral would be on Saturday, February 9 at 1pm.  As soon as we know more details about her funeral, we will  send another notification. Janet died peacefully in the hospital with some of her family members around.  According to her cousin Lisa, who is executor for Janet, she died from kidney failure. WE will miss Janet tremendously but we all know she will be in a better place in the arms of her Creator.
