June 4 Breakfast Volunteer Request

 Well, it's that time again- and due to some rather interesting limitations on Ted Seeber's time, we've got 4 instead of the usual 3 volunteer periods available. Saturday, June 3, 2pm-2:30pm ; The more hands the better, just carrying in groceries.  Christopher is working, Ted's due at 2:30 for a Rosary at adoration, so short time in between to do this. Saturday, June 3, 6pm-8pm:  Usually only need an hour for this, more hands the better, setup of tables and basic kitchen setup, load of all the equipment from the closet Sunday, June 4, 7am-10:30am:  Shift 1.  Check with Ted Seeber if you're volunteering for a specific job, start times may be later depending on the job, you might actually be instructed to go to 8:30am Mass, then do the Judas Shuffle to let us know when Eucharist is.  Sunday, June 4, 10:30-2pm:  Shift 2, includes cleanup after about 12:15.  Can be the shorter of the two shifts, even though it doesn't look like it. I'll be contacting ...

St Clare Support a Student Weekend

As our State Chaplain told us at the State Convention, public school curriculum are developing in a severely anti-Catholic direction in Oregon.  He gave us the challenge of making sure every parent has the choice of Catholic School with in next three years. One way we can support this is with the Support-a-Student fund at St. Clare's and St John Fisher (link for St John Fisher to be added soon). I urge you all to prayerfully give to these funds.

For the Good of the Order

  This Memorial Day is meant to honor those who have given the ultimate sacrifice. The freedoms we enjoy every minute of every day we owe to the sacrifice of those who took an oath of service to our Country, which NEVER expires.  There are so many persons in the world who try to come into the US every day, just to share in these freedoms.  On this Memorial Day let us remember: It is the Veteran, not the preacher,  who gave us freedom of religions. It is the Veteran, not the reporter,  who has given us freedom of the press. It is the Veteran, not the poet,  who has given us freedom of speech. It is the Veteran, not the campus organizer,  who has given us freedom to assemble. It is the Veteran, not the lawyer,  who has given us the right to a fair trial. It is the Veteran, not the politician, who has given us the right to vote . It is the Veteran, who salutes the Flag.   It is the Veteran, who serves under the Flag.   To be burie...

Information about St. Andrews Nativity School

As some of you remember from last year, Our Council made a contribution of $300 to the St. Andrews Nativity School in NE Portland. This year, Tom Owens will be proposing at our next meeting that our Council donate $500 to this cause. The school is a Jesuit sponsored tuition free middle school that enrolls children from very low-income families who want a solid Catholic academic education. Children at this school attend from 8 a.m. to about 5 p.m. that includes classes, counseling, sports, recreation, and experiences in the community. While attending Nativity School, students receive intensive counseling to apply for and get scholarships for Catholic high schools and are mentored through high school and on into colleges or technical schools. To get a better understanding of this school and how it helps minority students please watch several parts of the school's website   https://www.nativityportland. org .   You can start with the   about   heading and read "what mak...

 There is a change to our safe environment training.  If you get the following e-mail, accept the invite, create a new password, and fill out the initial form asking for your member number and our council number.  You then may, or may not, have videos to catch up on. Safe environment training is one of our requirements for Star Council, but it's a good idea in general for keeping our kids safe.
