MASS FOR LIFE
Bishop Eusebio Elizondo will be celebrating the annual Archdiocesan Mass for Life at the Marcus Pavilion on the campus of Saint Martin's University on Monday, January 23, 2017 at 9:30 a.m. We encourage archdiocese parishioners to participate in the Mass, because as St. John Paul II proclaimed, "a great prayer for life is urgently needed..." (Evangelium Vitae 100).
Because St. Martin's has a seating capacity for approximately 2700 people, we need to RSVP either through people reporting to the parish office (
sconnolly@stjohnsea.org or 206-782-2810). Parishes are asked to respond by Friday, December 16
th.
If you would like to attend, we can work to arrange car pools for those of us who are able to attend. We really need to make this decision now and let the parish office now immediately of your commitment.

Hello All,
I hope everyone has a great week!
Thank you,
Diana Gillette
{Thanks, Diana.}
Note from Bill: If you don't know who James Corden is - I didn't - go to YouTube and search "carpool karaoke Adele".

It has been nearly a year now, since I proposed that everyone in the parish make a single New Year's resolution, to pray daily. Did you make the resolution, and follow through? I'm looking for a couple of people who ramped up their prayer lives, who would be willing to talk to the parish about their experiences. Don't worry, sainthood not required. If your life is better today because of prayer, we'd love to hear your story.
As always, if you have prayer nuggets you'd like to share with the parish, email Bill Marty, bill@takenroad.com. Thanks!
