AN INVITATION FROM PARISH PASTORAL COUNCIL

We councilors assist Father Klasinski in his role as shepherd of our parish (while the Finance

Council assists him in his role as steward). Last weekend, we introduced the Welcome Home

parish ministries brochure, registered new parishioners and hosted coffee and donuts. Last year,

we sponsored the biannual parish ministry fair and hosted the pastors Jubilee celebration.

Spiritual Formation and Wellness Ministry were Council initiatives. Does Council sound like a

good fit for you? Councilors serve a four-year term. We meet on the second Monday of the

month (not December, July and August). For more information, please email Council Chair

Mary Lou Capichioni at mlcapichioni@Sherwin.com. We look forward to hearing from you!

Please pray for all our deceased

parishioners and benefactors.

A MESSAGE FROM FATHER KLASINSKI

Are you a baptized Catholic who receives Holy Communion but have never been confirmed? If

you wish to complete your Christian Initiation and be eligible to act as a godparent—I can help!

• Reserve Thursday, March 15, 7:30 p.m.—Confirmation Mass with Bishop Roger Gries

here at Saint Clare.

• Make a copy of your baptismal certificate or call the secretary at the parish where you

were baptized and ask for a copy.

• Attend a 45-minute practice in church on Tuesday, March 13. You can attend at

12:30 p.m. or 7:30 p.m.

• Invite a sponsor (baptized and confirmed Catholic) to be your sponsor. Your sponsor

needs only to attend the Confirmation Mass.

Could I make it any easier? Email me at sklasinski@att.net during the month of February. I look

forward to hearing from you!

THE JOURNEY . . . A WAY TO DEEPEN YOUR EXPERIENCE OF JESUS

During Lent, the Spiritual Formation Committee of Saint Clare and Saint

Paschal Baylon will be offering an opportunity for a unique and powerful

experience. You are invited to join small faith-sharing groups, similar to the

ARISE groups that have met over the past couple of years. Our new program,

entitled THE JOURNEY, is a six-week program of sharing, prayer, and

reflection that can help everyone—parishioners, family, friends and neighbors

grow in faith. THE JOURNEY brings us into contact with those who knew

and encountered Jesus. Through videos and sharing, their experiences

become real in our day . . . in our personal lives . . . in our relationships with

God...and others.

Each participant will receive a book which contains faith-sharing materials, consisting of prayer,

scripture readings, reflections and faith-sharing questions. You are asked to contribute $10.00,

which covers the cost of the book; scholarships are available. Groups will meet once a week at

different times during the day and in the evening, both at Saint Clare and Saint Paschal.

Everyone is talking about a personal experience of Jesus . . . especially Pope Francis. Come and

see what it is all about.

Registration forms, where you can choose the day and time you would like to meet, are

available in the business office or on the parish website, www.saintclare.net. Please register by

February 4 so we can order the books. If you have any questions or would like further

information, call Barbara Curran at 440-840-5511 or Rosalie Lewis at 440-227-8718. Take your

Lenten Journey with Jesus!
