A MESSAGE FROM PASTORAL COUNCIL . . .
Parish Pastoral Council (PPC), what is that? I wondered. I
had been a member of St. Clare Parish for some years,
however, I hardly knew anyone. One Sunday at Mass, I
decided it was time to change that. It just so happened
that there was an article in the bulletin asking for new PPC
members. I felt that I was being guided, so I volunteered
and was accepted. This is my last year of my 4-year term
on the PPC. It has been a wonderful experience. I have
learned so much and have met so many fantastic people. I
also believe I have used my talents to help our parish community.
So what is the Parish Pastoral Council? The PPC meets
with Father Klasinski monthly. In these meetings, the
Council discerns how we can help Father and the Parish
with various issues and events such as Welcome Sunday
and the Ministry Fair. Members of the PPC are ordinary
people with individual talents, like you. Please consider
this opportunity. It will be rewarding on so many levels.
~ Prayers, Pat Gilbert
Want to learn how you can be a Council member and join
us for our April 7th meeting? Kindly contact Chuck Ponyik,
Council Chair, at 440-442-7512 or [email protected].
Thanks for considering our invitation!

The March 9th Bloodmobile produced 37 pints of lifesaving blood with the potential to help 111 patients.
(That is a grand total of 125 pints for the 4 drives
combined held since September 2013.) Thank you to
all donors and to the volunteers, Rita Ruggeri and
Carmella Sinisgalli.
~ II Corinthians 5:6-8
The annual Landerhaven Bloodmobile produced 777
pints of blood. Thank you one and all! God bless!
we are at home in the body we are away from the Lord, for
we walk by faith, not by sight. Yet we are courageous, and
we would rather leave the body and go home to the Lord .”
