My loving parishioners,

I write this week’s column with a heart full of gratitude to God for the blessings He showered upon the people of St. Clare in accomplishing their dream of twenty years. It is indeed a time of joy and honor for every one of us. They persevered for these many years and have actualized their dream. All honor and glory to the Almighty God for working through Bishop Paul Bradley who dedicated this beautiful and gorgeous church on the feast day of St. Francis de Sales.

I am also indebted to thank the Daughters of Mary, the Choir members and all the people from IC Church who committed themselves for this noble cause to make it a resounding success. Thank you so much!!

Last week we celebrated Catholic School’s week. As our school community is going to celebrate seventy years, we have the great opportunity to look back to the many good things, the school has been able to accomplish in all these years. As we thank the Lord for his blessings, let us also keep the kids, teachers and parents in our continued prayers that everyone might have the strength to move forward towards this noble cause. Thank you all for your support and commitment to Catholic Education.

May God bless you!!

Fr. Antony Rajesh MSFS

Dear Parishioners, Since last week’s presentation regarding the Day of Giving and cross restoration there have been some questions. I would like to give clarity on this initiative. The $10,000 goal was set for the Day of Giving. This money will be used two fold; for the restoration of the cross and the continuation of our Mission of Catholic Education. At this point we are waiting for the final estimate of material costs for the memorial. All monies raised over the cost of materials will go directly to the school. We are also working to get a picture of what the memorial will look like when finished. If you have any other questions please do not hesitate to contact me at 269-273-2085 or principal@iccatholicschool.com.

Thanks to everyone who attended the reception for the kick off of Catholic School’s Week. We hope you enjoyed the food, fellowship and gifts from the children. If you did not get a gift there is

a basket with extras in the carport entrance. Please help yourself.

Everyone from school was so busy greeting and serving that pictures were not taken. If anyone took pictures please let us know and forward them to us.

Thanks.

In Christ’s Peace,
