FAMILY ALL SAINTS' DAY TREASURE HUNT

Since we can not do our annual Trunk or Treat this year, we will be celebrating the season by finding items some of the saints have lost around our church property. Clues will lead you to St. Anthony’s Lost Items Treasure Chest where you will find a bag of treasure for all your hard work. Contact Laura Stanger, Lstanger@sjvkirkland.org, for more information.

No registration necessary for in person attendees. Please do the Self Health Assessment before coming to church, and sign in at the table in the narthex when you arrive.

Every year at this time, we are asked to think about our stewardship of all the gifts that God has placed in our trust; not just how we are taking care of those gifts, but how we are sharing those gifts with our parish and our community as well. In the coming weeks we will be asked to consider if we are returning a proper portion of those gifts to our Church for the Lord to build up His Kingdom. This Sunday we will be hearing from one of our own about how God has blessed them, how they became grateful, and how and why they chose to share their blessings. |

LAUDATO SI'
An Online Class on the Encyclical
|
|
The destruction from wildfires in the Western states, and the increasing severity of tropical storms, testify that our climate is changing dramatically, and that we are destroying our earth, the source upon which all life depends. As people of faith, it is our responsibility to work to preserve our planet so that the glory of God’s creation is preserved, and the earth can continue to nurture future generations. On Mondays at 7:00pm starting on November 9th, we will study Laudato Si: On Care for Our Common Home, the Holy Father’s encyclical on climate change and global warming. The encyclical examines the science behind global warming, connects it with the basic tenets of our Catholic faith, and issues a call to action to restore respect for the earth with whose stewardship God has graced us. This is an online class using Zoom video conferencing software. To register, please call the church office at 425-823-0787 and leave your name and email address.
