 From Donna: I am now officially a widow.  My husband of 67 years, Phil, passed away Wednesday at about noon of a massive stroke after lingering, unconscious, for four days  in the hospital. After talking to both the funeral home (Youngs in Tigard) and the church ( St. Juan Diego Church in Hillsboro  , click to map ) it was decided to have the funeral on Saturday, January 6th at 10 am with a reception at the church following.  The graveside ceremony won't be until one p.m. because it's in Tigard at the St. Anthony cemetery on Gaarde St. , click link to map.

Prime opportunity for St. Clare members but all volunteers are welcome.

 Our Holiday Party was quite the success this year- with 4 out of our 7 essay contest winners present.  However, due to sound quality in the video, I am also posting this link to our full PDF submitted to the State Competition.   You can also watch the video online on Youtube .  I would suggest, due to sound quality issues, that downloading the PDF first to read along with the kids will help.
