Happy last “real week” of sum-mer. May you enjoy the week, thanking God for the gift of more relaxed time, visits with family and friends, beach, boat and water time, just time to enjoy the beau-ty of the earth.
School NewsToday on our beautiful grounds of
St. Clare, St. Clare School will have a welcome back picnic from 2-5. There will be an opportunity to meet our principal, Ms. Ann Crowley, and our assistant principal, Ms. Samantha Cooley. There will be a couple of new teacher and staff additions to meet, as well as new families. Feel free to join us on the lawn between the school and church. Bring a chair or a blanket to sit on and a snack to share.
This past week the teachers returned to their class-rooms and tomorrow will have their first official meeting with the new administration. Everyone is excited to greet the New Year. See you on Septem-ber 3 at 7:55 with a smiling face.
Oh, and don’t forget our famous Used Book Sale is coming, September 11-15. They are still in need of books, especially chil-dren’s books. So if you have them stored on your shelves, consider, giving them up!
Happy New YearWith Labor Day approach-ing, the pastoral year will also begin. Parish meet-ings will resume, religious education will begin, Little Lambs will be returning.
So, prepare your soul. One ministry for one person for one year. So how will you be involved this year? There are still some of you who come to Mass, which is great…BUT wouldn’t St. Clare Parish be a better parish if YOU were involved? I think so. If you need help deciding what to do, just ask me, Sr. Kathy. I’m certain I can find a perfect place for you.
Bible CampI am writing this just coming from a Bible Camp HIGH. We had a marvelous week of spirit, fun, and JESUS. It was a superb event. I loved every minute of it, and you should have seen our finale. I just want you to know that Jesus is alive and well in our little ones, so make sure they keep on coming to church, school or religious education so they keep that Light of Jesus alive in them. 75 campers partic-ipated during the week. That is our largest group infive years. Special thanks to all of you who contrib-uted supplies and monetary donations for our crafts and snacks. We truly appreciated them.
Very special thanks for our planners: Denise VanSile, Jody Corbett, Lou DiIorio, Noelle Shaheen, Allison Frazer, Marge Zurack, Erin Switala and Margaret Lynch. Other leaders: Bernice Michalik, Kathy Paw-
lowski, Sr. M. Peter, and Katy McKenzie. Student helpers: Cassidy Woolums, Julian Townsend, Sophia We iksnar , and Ab i Pongratz. Parish helpers for registration and kitchen duty: Mary Kirles, Chee Chee Williams, Rose Reg-ner, Sharon Keelan, Larry Keelan, Marie Trojanowski, Liz Zatina, Bernadette Cusmano, JoAnn Harring-ton, Carol Kotz, and Sue Madison, and Mary Rowan for gifts.

Capuchin Signature Drive
Don’t forget to contribute $20 and sign your name for the Capu-
chin Soup Kitchen. Christian Service Members will be outside to-
day to collect your signatures. Thank you for participating.
Wheels of St. Clare
This Thursday, August 29, is the Monthly bike Ride. Join in the ride
at 6:00. Not a bike rider? come afterwards at 7:00 and join in fel-
lowship.
Feast of St. Michael
Celebrate the Feast of St. Michael with the Michaelite Fathers at
the Michaelite Retreat House in London, Ontario, on September
8th. The bus will be leaving after the 11:00 Mass. Cost is $35.
Call the parish office to get on the list of travelers. You do need
a passport or enhanced license. Oh, and bring a lawn chair
and an umbrella.
Religious Education
Just as the school year begins, so does our religious education
program. Most of the teachers are in place, but if you have a
yearning to share your faith, we can find a place for you. Just let
Sr. Kathy know of your interest. I had four seniors last year work-
ing in our programs. Guess what? They graduated. So, I am
looking for more high school volunteers willing to share their faith.
So, if you are a mom or dad with a teen age student, please en-
courage them to get involved.
Our programs will begin on September 8 for Sunday family, 9:00
Mass-11:30. Monday classes begin September 9, grades 1-4
from 4:00-5:15, and grades 5—8 from 6:30 -8:00. If you are not
registered, they are due this week. Please pick up a form from
the tables on church or register on line. If you have any ques-
tions before you feel you can register, please call or email Sr.
Kathy
Little Lambs
Our program for younger ones, ages 3-7 will resume on Septem-
ber 15th at the 9:00 Mass. Stay tuned. We would like to expand
to the 11:00 Mass and possibly include, ages 8-10. But we can
only do this with volunteers who will step up to be leaders. And
we would need high school and junior high students to assist.
Protecting God’s Children and Called to Serve
Just a reminder, any adult who works with children in any ca-
pacity, must have the “Protecting God’s Children” and any high
school student must have a certificate from the “Called to
Serve” program. Check the Archdiocese of Detroit website for
the workshops.
A Personal Note from Sr. Kathy
Word travels quickly in our caring St. Clare Community. So, I
know that many of you have heard what I would like to tell you.
The end of July I had a PET scan to follow up on a few abnormal-
ities in my lungs. On August 7th I had a
lung dissection to remove the nodules. The
pathology said “cancer.” The PET scan
also showed nodules all over in my abdo-
men. After consultation with my oncologist
and personal physician, I have decided to
begin chemotherapy.
Plans are to begin very soon. It is expected
to be six treatments, three weeks apart. I
have been encouraged to keep working
and continue to do what I usually do. Ob-
viously, I will have to wait and see what this
“medicine” does to my body, but with all
the Masses and prayers that have been
and continue to be offered for my healing,
I do not expect a lot of side effects.
The infusion center is just at 11 Mile and
Harper, so it is not a long trek. The doctor
wants me to continue working and keep
active, so you will see me out and about.
If you see me, know that it is all with the
doc’s approval. Yes, there may be days
when I am out of commission, and days
when I cannot be in crowds. Oh, and I
must wash my hands almost every half
hour!!
I know that God has already been at my
side and all those prayers have flown up to
the angels to provide special care for me.
Pain has not taken hold of me, I’m grate-
ful. I am at peace with my decision. I am
grateful. Each of my doctors have been
super supportive and explained things
thoroughly. I’m grateful. All of you have
been my guardian angels, and I am eter-
nally grateful. And, I ask you to continue
the prayers for me. This is a brand-new ex-
perience for me. Oh, I forgot to add: I will
lose my hair, so I may take on the “Fr. Tom”
look! I trust in Jesus and I am a BIG believ-
er in prayer. So, if you need any, just ask
and you will be added to my list!
God bless you. My prayers are with you.
Love you all and grateful to you and for
you. SKathy Avery

A big THANK YOU to those who have
dropped groceries and personal care items
in the SVdP bins near the church doors. Our
need is steady, so it is never “too late” to do-
nate!
Coming up on Saturday, September 28th is
the annual SVdP Friends Walk on Belle Isle.
This is a leisurely 3 mile walk to raise support
for the SVdP Conferences in Southeast Michi-
gan. Please join us by making a financial
donation, walking with the St. Clare team or
both! Check out the event website at
www.friendswalk.org. If you click on “Join”
you will have the option to sign up to walk or
donate. Look for the St. Clare of Montefalco
team. We are #73 in the list and the teams
are in alphabetical order. Any money do-
nated to our team will stay in our conference
to assist our neighbors in need.
Our conference took a big step at the begin-
ning of the month by joining ServWare. This is
a digital data base created especially for
SVdP. It will allow us to manage our calls
and visits as well as track the resources we
provide. For the last five years, our call takers
have scrawled names, notes and phone
numbers in spiral notebooks. It’s time for us
to take advantage of what technology of-
fers! Our Vincentians will now more easily be
able to share information about the people
we are helping and the types of assistance
we are providing—as soon as we learn the
program.
As we move forward with ServWare and ap-
proach another new year of serving in our
neighborhood, we would like to once again
extend an invitation to join our conference.
We’d especially like to welcome people who
might enjoy learning our new tracking pro-
gram and possibly assist with data entry.
We’ll have a small gathering of those specifi-
cally interested in how we can best utilize
ServWare on Monday, August 26 at 7 pm in
the parish offices. Bring your tablet or laptop
and join us. For more information or to RSVP,
contact Barb at [email protected]
or 313-303-1951.
Thanks for helping us help others,

Back to School PicnicSt. Clare of Montefalco Gardens
Sunday, August 25
2—5 PM
Greetings St. Clare families,
This past week has been full with the celebrations
of the Vacation Bible Camp and the 50th Reun-
ion of the Class of 1969. The spirit and love of the
St. Clare of Montefalco Community permeated
both events. The custodial staff continues to
spruce the school up and teachers will return Wednesday to begin
preparing their classrooms for the return of the students.
The most necessary update to all families this week is the urgency
to make sure you have registered your children for the 2019/2020
school year. We are making decisions that affect teacher place-
ments to best meet the needs of the young people. Knowing the
number of students per grade is very important at this time.
The St. Clare of Montefalco staff looks forward to seeing all of the
families on Sunday, August 25 at the St. Clare PTO picnic from 2:00
to 5:00. The picnic will be held near the gazebo between the
school and the church. Please forgive the redundancy of the
dates and information listed here. They are the most important

work them.

Capuchin Signature Drive
August 24-25
The Christian Service Commission will be hosting our
annual Capuchin Signature Drive this weekend,
August 24-25, to support their local Soup
Kitchens. Look for us after Mass next to the Carport to
complete a form and donate. Your $20 tax-deductible
contribution in honor of your family or in memory of a
loved one supports this worthy organization. Checks
may be made out to “Capuchin Soup Kitchen” Our
tables will be set up next to the carport, weather
permitting.
St. Clare Church and all our participants will be
displayed at the 47th Annual SOCK Dinner at Cobo
Center in Detroit on September 27 and listed in the
2019 SOCK program. I know many of you already
support the Capuchins at other times during the year,
thank you for your ongoing support!
For over eighty years the Capuchin Soup Kitchen has been feeding
hungry people, while also nourishing their souls and stimulating their
minds. Today the organization continues to serve the community
with a variety of food and human development programs.
They are asking our parish to join them in this important work by
participation in the annual Parish Signature Drive.

C lassic St. Clare Folding Chair
We do have more chairs! Last weekend,
the first round of Classic Chairs left the
building. We are adding a second group of chairs,
so please help yourself.
How would you like to be the owner of one, two,
four or six of these classic St. Clare folding chairs? They have lived
a great life serving the needs of our students and parishioners, but
it is time to let them go. We now have plenty of banquet chairs
for our Social Hall. I am happy to give these away to parishioners
who would like to have a set of folding chairs, 2, 4, 6 or 8. If you
would like to make a Free Will Offering, we will gladly accept a
small donation to support St. Clare School Scholarships and the
Science Lab Project. $2.50/chair is the suggested donation. They
are sturdy and fold nicely for storage.
The chairs are in the Social Hall on the right side just past the ele-
vator. Donations may be dropped in the collection basket any-
time with St. Clare Chairs written on the envelope or handed di-
rectly to Mike McDevitt. Checks may be made out to St. Clare
Church. Call me if you have any questions.
