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 (formerly the Downtown Chapel). A person does not need cooking experience for this job.
We have enough volunteers who come around 5:15 PM to brown bag the takeout dinner and help distribute it to the guests who arrive between 6:30 and 7:30. Because of COVID dinners are not served in the dining room at this time as they were before COVID. Some time in the future St. Andre will go back to indoor service.
The cooking crew will serve three Mt. Angel seminaries dinner in the dining room who come early each Friday night as part of their seminarian exposure to the downtown poor and homeless. Afterward the cooking crew does kitchen cleanup and stays for a short prayer service by Pastor Tom before leaving around 8 or 8:30 PM. Attendance every month is not absolutely necessary. If you are interested or have questions give me a call at 503-341-7493.
