famiglie soffrono in modi ancora più drastici. Aiutlamoli con la
preghiera e con l’aiuto finanziario. Dio benedica ogni nostro

RACCOLTA SAN VINCENZO DE PAOLI
Nel prossimo weekend (15/16 giungo), ci sarà parcheggiato
nel cortile della Scuola di St. Clare (su Westmount Ave.) il
camion della Società San Vincenzo de Paoli. Siamo invitati a
portare qualsiasi articolo: panni, mobili, pentole, quadri,
ecc…, che sono ancora in buona condizione ma che non ci
sono più utili.
UNA NUOVA STATUA DI SANTA CHIARA in
ricorrenza del Centennario della parrocchia.
L’artista Antonio Caruso, sta attualmente
preparando una scultura lignea di Santa Chiara,
sotto la direzione di P. Vito. Questa stuatua, a
quasi altezza naturale, rappresenta la nostra
Patrona, in vestiti autentici dell’epoca, in cammino
verso la comunità offrendo il pane. Parrocchiani e
amici della parrocchia che desiderano contribuire
verso il costo della statua potranno ritirare una
busta all’uscita e deporre la propria offerta
qualsiasi domenica. La statua sarà presentata
alla comunità nel giorno della festa, domenica 11
agosto, e poi benedetta dal cardinale la domenica 8 settembre,
quando sua eminenza sarà quì da noi per celebrare la Santa
Messa in onore del centennario.
