Knights of Columbus
John Clare Council #15485

  Thank you!!! St. Clare Coffee & Donuts Success Thank you to all of the Knights et all, who were able to participate in hosting this past Sunday's Coffee & Donuts at St. Clare; Ted & Shannon Seeber, Christopher Seeber, Richard Digregorio, Mike O'Phelan, John Creegan, Gene Andres, and Don & Marge Mey. If I missed anyone, please accept my apology. I will be happy to edit this post.  This was a good opportunity to identify potential new members and tell the story of the Knights of Columbus! 

March for Life 2023 Join thousands of local pro-life advocates for this year’s annual Oregon March for Life at the Capitol in Salem, on Saturday, January 28th at 2:15PM. Archbishop Sample will attend and speak at the rally. This will be the first March for Life rally since Roe v. Wade was overturned before it could reach its 50th anniversary—a huge win for pro-life advocates and something to celebrate! Unfortunately, abortion is still legal until birth in Oregon for any reason, which is why it's important to speak out for pro-life. Join the march on January 28th to let Oregon leaders know that we will not stop advocating for the preborn and dignity of human life. Prior to the march, Archbishop Sample will celebrate a special Mass at St. Joseph’s Catholic Church in Salem at 12:00 p.m. Please join us for Mass before the march!  

 Volunteer Opportunity The letter below is from John Kowalczyk, a St. Clare Parishioner. If you are interested please contact John directly and copy Don Mey @ GK@kofc15485.org Hello Knights of John/Clare Council. This is John Kowalczyk, a long-time member of St. Clare Church who has been involved over the years with many different St. Clare Church activities. Currently I alternate weekly as Sacristan and Lead Usher at Sunday’s 10:45 Mass and coordinate our Church’s St. Andre Bessette Ministry which involves preparing and serving a hot dinner every third Friday evening of the month to the downtown poor and homeless.  I thought I would give the John/Clare Knights the first notice of a volunteer need.  I need one additional volunteer to join our small group that prepares the dinner  at St. Andre Bessette Church. We have one carpool that leaves St. Clare’s office parking lot at 3:30 PM on the third Friday of the month for St. Andre Bessette Church on West Burnside (forme...

This Sunday, and Next Saturday, we have a chance to stand up for, and pray for, the victims of the culture of death. At St. Clare's on Sunday, January 22, 11:45-1:45, we will join the angels in Eucharistic Adoration, with intentions offered by the Peace & Justice Committee, Sisters in the Spirit, and the Knights of Columbus.  We're in charge of the Glorious Mysteries Rosary, and the Chaplet of Divine Mercy.  Please e-mail Ted Seeber at seebert42@gmail.com to volunteer to take a decade of either. It'll be easy, there will be cheat sheets on the Ambo. And then, a week later on Saturday Afternoon, down in Salem on the very steps of the Capitol Building, we will be protesting the extreme culture of death that still exists here in Oregon.  Information regarding Oregon March for Life: when JAN 28, 2023 // 2:30 PM PACIFIC STANDARD TIME where CAPITOL STEPS 900 COURT ST NE, SALEM, OREGON For more information, click the link below.
