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 First Thursday in Rooms 3 & 4 of the Parish Hall from 7:30 to 8:30 p.m. Next gathering will be Thursday, November 2nd. No dues! No fees! Just sharing and support and love.
For more information, please contact Margaret Pontius Evenings Only at 818 - 706 - 1842.

THE JUBILEE HOLY YEAR INDULGENCE
What Is An Indulgence? An Indulgence is "the remission before God of some or all the temporal punishment due to sins, already forgiven through the Sacrament of Penance".
What Is the Jubilee Holy Year Indulgence? It is a Special Indulgence granted by His Holiness during this Jubilee Year 2000.

either making a Pilgrimage by visiting a Church,
or performing charitable works (caring for sick or elderly, visiting one in prison or in trouble, teaching a catechism class, etc.)
How Often Can we Gain this Jubilee Holy Year Indulgence? We can only gain this Indulgence once per day.
For Whom Can this Indulgence Be Gained? We can gain this Jubilee Holy Year Indulgence for someone who has died, or for ourselves.
