Interested in Hosting? 
Have you ever considered hosting an Exchange Student?
A note from fellow parishioner, Gabrielle Yoder:
You don't have to be rich. Just a bed, 3 meals a day, and love. That's all you need. This is great for older folks, empty nesters, families large and small. Even single folks can participate if they have an extra room! Most people really do enjoy it and hosting can be done by anyone with a clean background and an extra bed. We're currently hosting our 7th exchange student and we have another girl coming this fall from Thailand. We've hosted from Japan, Spain, and Brazil but the other local coordinator and I act as sort of 'den mothers' for the local kids so I get to talk to kids from everywhere.
It's an amazing experience and I can't recommend it highly enough.

Do You Know Someone in Need? 
Life is truly a journey…and sometimes the way is rough. Whether it’s a loss of employment, kids worrying the heck out of you, a spouse who is sick, or any other challenge or loss, sometimes it’s helpful to have a companion. We naturally turn to trusted friends, but sometimes we worry about burdening a friend or feel that we might have to put life together in their way or time. Wouldn’t it be nice to have an “ear” that doesn’t judge – that has no agenda or timetable, someone who can keep a confidence – just to not be so lonely while working things out? Someone who trusts God – but also trusts you-- to work your situation out in your own time? That’s what Stephen Ministers do – they respectfully join you in your journey, listening and offering confidential support and encouragement. Need a companion for your journey? Contact Father Linh (502-863-3404)fr.linh@ssfrancisjohn.org; or call Marion Cook (502-542-0127) (cook.marion@yahoo.com) or Mike Daukas
(502 316-5799) mrjd50@gmail.com.
