 Divine Mercy Sunday, April 7, will be a pancake breakfast at St. Clare's.  This one is going to be a big one- the 2nd graders are doing Mass, which should draw a big crowd. Please volunteer for one or more of the following time slots:   April 6, 6-8 pm:  Load in groceries and set up tables April 7, 7-10:15 am Shift 1 Breakfast- we will serve at 9:30, so when you arrive will depend on your job April 7, 10:30-2pm  Shift 2 Breakfast- Due to Divine Mercy Sunday video shown in the church, we may still be serving as late as 1:30 Email Ted Seeber, seebert42@gmail.com , to volunteer

Setup for the Easter Egg field will be Saturday, March 30th, 2 to 4 pm.  I doubt it will actually take us that long.  I could use 1 to 2 more volunteers.  Be prepared to take your turn on the 25 lb red fence post pounder, or do the easy job of wrapping colored tape around fenceposts to create a barrier between the 0-5 year olds and the older kids. Contact Ted Seeber at seebert42@gmail.com  to volunteer

 Given how the breakfast in October went, and the fact that Divine Mercy Sunday we will be facing a similar set of circumstances, the decision has been made to double the number of eggs and sausage we buy.  This means we *might* face needing to donate unused eggs.  We'll buy the cheap way, in large flats, but may need to break down to standard dozens at the end of the day for donation to SVDP. Bring empty cartons with you on April 7.  And contact Ted Seeber at seebert42@gmail.com for questions

A reading from the sermons of St Bernardine of Siena (Sermon 2, On St Joseph) A faithful foster-parent and guardian was St. Joseph the Worker. This is the general rule that applies to all individual graces given to a rational creature.  Whenever divine grace selects someone to receive a particular grace, or some especially favored  position, all the gifts for his state are given to that person, and. enrich him abundantly." This is especially true of that holy man Joseph, the supposed father of our Lord Jesus Christ, and true husband of the queen of the world and of the angels. He was chosen by the eternal Father to be the faithful foster-parent and guardian of the most precious treasures of God, his Son and his spouse. This was the task which he so faithfully carried out. For this, the Lord said to him, ‘Good and faithful servant, enter into the joy of your Lord.’ A comparison can be made between Joseph and the whole Church of Christ. Joseph was the specially chosen man throug...

  Hello! Thank you for reaching out for offering to help with the St Clare Easter Egg hunt this year.  This is a quick overview of the plan and ways you could sign up to help. Please let me know what would interest you and work best with your schedule.  Setup: The Knights of Columbus group has volunteered again to help with setting up the age group zones. This will take place on Saturday before Easter. Sounds like they have enough people to have this covered.  Run of show day of Easter 3/31:  There will be 2 age groups this year: 0-5 by the side lawn to the garage and 6-12 by the playground to the open field. Kids will line up on the curb waiting for the air horn sound to start the egg hunt. The areas of volunteer help are mostly for the day of the event in the morning. I know this is harder with younger kids.  Day of Easter laying/hiding eggs  in the zoned areas (15 people or as many as we can get. Start at 7:30...
