Key Passage: Jesus said, “Come to
me, all you that are weary and are
carrying heavy burdens, and I will
give you rest. Take my yoke upon you,
and learn from me; for I am gentle and
humble in heart, and you will find rest
for your souls.” (Matthew 11:28–29)
Adult: When has Jesus refreshed you
when you felt burdened by problems?
Child: What burden do you need
Jesus to help you carry?

Renovation Steering Group
Many people are wondering what is happening with our Cathedral Renova-
tion. Fund-raising will continue since it is important to have funds on hand when
a new bishop is assigned; a final decision involving any major project must be
done by the bishop. Recently a survey was sent to all parishioners to determine
how much financial support is available within the diocese. Check the Southeast
Alaska Catholic for details.

The Interfaith group received the
following message:
Hospice and Home Care Needs
I am writing as the Bereavement &
Volunteer Coordinator for Hospice &
Home Care of Juneau, a division of
Catholic Community Service, to share
some information about our program with
you.
Also, in recognition of the typically
tremendous benefit of mutual support
while healing, we are making some
changes to our grief support group. In the
spirit of understanding our communal
needs, we are seeking input from Juneau
residents about bereavement issues that
people want to explore and better
understand. We want to hear your ideas
for what may be helpful in terms of
coping with grief.
We are also recruiting volunteers! We
have various opportunities and are eager
to work with people who want to provide
direct support for patients and families.
We also need assistance with tasks that are
more administrative. Special skills are not
required for volunteering. We welcome big
hearts, and want all to be aware that
ongoing training is essential and available
for our volunteers.
Please consider contacting me with your
thoughts and questions about our
bereavement services, as well as our
volunteer program at 463-6106 or at
[email protected]. Thank you for
your consideration!
