March 23 - March 30
Our host week for Family Promise begins Sunday, March 23, and concludes on Sunday morning, March 30. As we begin this Lenten season, volunteering to support families with children experiencing homelessness is an excellent way to assist the needy. While you may be doing other things to help the poor during Lent, this is one very tangible way to assist those who live in Grant County. This program of outreach is unique in that its mission is to assist kids and their families who find themselves without shelter. Volunteer sign-up sheets are in the back of the church. Except for the overnight shift, all of the other volunteer shifts are just two hours. We also welcome anyone from our pastorate to volunteer in this important service. For more information, contact Bill Manthe at 723-4990 or Peg Jonas at 723-2051.Read More -

“METANOIA” FOR LENT AT ST. CLEMENT In St. Mark’s Gospel, the first words that Jesus speaks are, “Repent and believe on the Gospel.” The Greek word for repent is “metanoia.” Metanoia involves a changing of one’s mind and heart, a transformation and conversion of one’s entire being. For Jesus, it is a conversion to become more like Him in every way. “METANOIA” is a 10-part series filmed in the Holy Land, with Fr. Dave Pivonka, TOR. Each segment is 30 minutes in length and examines areas of our life where conversion often needs to occur. The first segment is titled, “Who Do You Say That I Am?” which examines our personal understanding of Jesus. We will gather on Monday nights at 6:30 PM in the parish office meeting room, starting this Monday, March 17. We plan to conclude our sessions around 7:30 PM. Contact Bill Manthe for more information at 723-4990. We offered this series a few years ago, and it received two thumbs up. It is an excellent series for Lent and for life!Read More -

This fundraiser has been created for those who feel called to help ease the burdens Leigh is carrying.
