Belle found himself surrounded by a determined group of Marion area people who wanted a church of their own and the will to build it with his leadership. With proper investigation, a suitable piece of land was found for the erection of a church building to measure 30 x 50. The cost of the land was one hundred dollars. Since the church group had not been incorporated into a separate legal entity, the title was made to rest in the Bishop of the Diocese.

5 Hospice/Palliative Care Presentation: Wed., April 25 6:30-8:00pm at St. Ladislaus Church, Bevent. None of us likes to think about our loved ones dying or our own death. But we know that part of life is dying. It is becoming more common for people who are critically ill or up in age to express their desire to die at home. It is becoming more common for people to choose whether they wish to have all kinds of machines and modern medical technology keeping them alive at the end of their lives or if they wish to have comfort care at the end of their lives. Hospice and Palliative Care offer are wonderful opportunities for people to choose to have the care they desire. Hospice (often called Comfort Care) and Palliative Care works to provide compassionate care for people in their homes, in the hospital and in other living facilities. When active treatment is no longer the focus of care for an illness, hospice care concentrates on relieving symptoms and supporting patients and their families. Hospice patients generally have a life expectancy measured in months rather than years. Although hospice cannot add days to a person's life, it most certainly can add life to their days. You are invited to join us on Wed., April 25 from 6:30-8:00pm in the church hall to learn more about hospice and palliative care. We will have several people here to help us understand the difference between hospice and palliative care and the difference they can make in the lives of ourselves and our loved ones. EVERYDAY STEWARDSHIP - RECOGNIZE GOD IN YOUR ORDINARY MOMENTS If you ask me to tell you about one of my sons, my daughter, or my wife, I could spend quite some time elaborating on them as individuals and my interactions with them throughout the years. An authentic relationship leads each party into a rich knowledge of the other. If I have little to say about someone other than some incidental information or gossip, I cannot claim to really know him or her. Indeed, every relationship has expectations. If we do not know the needs of the other or the responses expected in living out the relationship, we easily create division and separation. I do certain things for my children because I am a parent. I respond in certain ways to my wife based upon her needs. If I am oblivious, or just don't care, the relationship will move on a path toward hurt, pain, and in some instances, permanent separation. To know Jesus is to love Jesus. The key is you actually have to know him. Knowing him is listening to his words and keeping his commands. Just like in all relationships, we will fall short at times. However, because we know the expectations we can then make amends and continue to grow together. So if I asked you to tell me about this friend of yours named Jesus, what would you say? -Tracy Earl Welliver, MTS Page 5 Three Parish Catholic Family
