ST. JUDE CATHOLIC COMMUNITY   PAGE EIGHT    APRIL 16, 2000

JUBILEE PILGRIMAGE CHURCHES


One of the ways to gain the Jubilee Indulgence is by making a Pilgrimage to the sacred shrines in the Holy Land or to the major Basilicas in Rome, or one of the churches designated by our Cardinal Archbishop.     The pilgrim must pray fulfill all the requirements listed above, and visit one of the churches designated by our Archbishop:

  Mission San Buenaventura
211 E. Main Street, Ventura
  Blessed Junipero Serra
5205 Upland Road, Camarillo.

Each parish has been asked to make a "Pilgrimage together" after seeking God's healing mercy and reconciliation.    Individuals can also seek these graces on their own after they have tried their best to choose life, have forgiven all who have hurt them, and have sought to be reconciled with God and neighbor.

Our Parish Pilgrimage to Mission San Buenaventura will be on the third Sunday of December to conclude our Encuentro 2000 program.    Buses will be provided.     Sign-Up for the buses will be held during November and at Encuentro 2000 sessions.     The perfect preparation for this Pilgrimage of Faith would be to take an active part in the Encuentro 2000 program of only six sessions.

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 will be this Sunday afternoon April 30th.     No dues!     No fees!     Just sharing and support and love.     

For more information, please contact Margaret Pontius
Evenings Only at 818 - 706 - 1842.
