CARE-GIVERS
"Respite & Renewal"
"Respite & Renewal" is a wonderful program designed to offer Care-Givers support.
We all become a Care Giver at some time during our lives. When we become a parent of an emotionally and/or physically disabled child; or we have elderly parents or relatives to care for; or we are involved in many bereavement or detention or other ministries that drain us even as we serve. From time to time we need a "Respite" and we need to be "Renewed".
This group meets every other Sunday afternoon in Rooms 3 & 4 of the Parish Hall from 1:15 to 3:00 p.m. Next gathering is today. No dues! No fees! Just sharing and support and love.
For more information, please contact Margaret Pontius Evenings Only at 818 - 706 - 1842.

PLEASE HELP A FAMILY IN NEED
One of our parish families is being faced with an incomprehensible challenge. The Sikorra family is being devastated by Batten Disease which has effected both of their boys. In an effort to provide financial and emotional support for the parents and the boys, a Benefit will be held in our Parish Hall on Saturday evening, February 12th.
The primary purpose of this non-profit Benefit will be to raise as much money as possible for the Sikorra family's Trust Fund.
Tickets are available for a "Suggested Donation" of $25.00 each. Since the capacity of our Parish Hall is limited, tickets will be available on a first come basis. Tickets can be obtained through the good services of Charlotte in the Parish School Office. Please call 818 889-9483 for information.
Join us for a fun evening with good music, love and genuine caring support!

SLEEPING BAGS STILL ARE NEEDED
Dolores Mission in East Los Angeles still has a real need for sleeping bags. While we appreciate the blankets, the need is mainly for sleeping bags. They are given to the homeless to take with them when they leave Dolores Mission. In fact, it is a Desperate Need!
If you can help, please bring your donations to the Parish Pastoral Office. Louise Brennan will make sure these items get to Dolores Mission as soon as possible.
