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 on Thursday, December 2nd.     No dues!     No fees!     Just sharing and support and love.     

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

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
"Thirty-Second Sunday in Ordinary Time" (B)."    All are welcome!   Come prepare for next Sunday's Mass!   No preparation!     No homework!
