ST. JUDE CATHOLIC COMMUNITY    PAGE NINE   JUNE 4, 2000

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 today, June 4th.     No dues!     No fees!     Just sharing and support and love.     

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

BEREAVEMENT MINISTRY


Volunteers are needed for Survivor Visitation---follow-up.    These volunteers visit families after a death in their family.    These visitations happen after the burial when all who came for the funeral have returned home, and the family is alone with their grief. If you are interested in this ministry you are invited to come to the meeting on Wednesday or call Debbie Meier at
818 597-1464.

WELCOME NEWCOMERS


If you are new to our parish community, please come by our Pastoral Parish Office to meet the staff and priests and to register.     If time is of the essence, then grab a registration form from the back of the church, fill it out and turn it in.      Soon after registering, our Newcomers Hospitality will visit your home and share with you about our many parish activities, and then you can leave your imprint on who we are. 

If you are interested in welcoming newcomers to our parish family, please contact Denise Ferrone at
818 - 597 - 9177 or Monica Larson at 818 - 597 - 9177.

BIBLE STUDY - Sunday to Sunday


Please come join us in preparing for next Sunday's Mass.     We meet to learn about and discuss the Readings for the upcoming Sunday Liturgy.    Each week we watch a 20 minute video, stopping the tape at appropriate moments to discuss the material presented.   We enjoy lively conversation, faith sharing moments, and good Christian fellowship, as we learn more about the Bible and thereby enable ourselves to be more fully prepared to celebrate next Sunday's Mass.

Tuesday mornings 9:00 to 10:00 a.m. in Room 7.       This week we will do the
"Solemnity of Pentecost" (B)."    All are welcome!   Come prepare for next Sunday's Mass!   No preparation!     No homework!
