WOMEN'S BOOK GROUP
Tuesday, March 2 at 7:00pm
|
|
All women of the parish are invited. You do not need to read the book to come. We meet at 7 PM on the first Tuesday of each month for wine, chocolate, and great conversation. Contact Laura, Lstanger@sjvkirkland.org, if you would like to receive email reminders.
Our book for March, "Fratelli Tutti" (All Brothers) is the third encyclical of Pope Francis, subtitled "on fraternity and social friendship." In the document, Pope Francis states that the way the COVID-19 pandemic was managed by world countries has shown a failure in global cooperation. The encyclical calls for more human fraternity and solidarity, and is a plea to reject wars.

Thank you to everyone for all the hard work and tremendous care you are taking to ensure our parish is as safe as possible. This diligence has proven quite successful. The Archdiocese of Seattle has celebrated about 30,000 Masses and has had ZERO cases of virus transmission during Mass. This alone demonstrates how safety protocols are working and serves as a good reminder of why we need to ensure we are always following them.
As many of you may be aware, there is a more robust and contagious variant of the coronavirus known as B.1.1.7. Recent reports indicate that it has come to our region. At this time, we continue to encourage everyone to strictly uphold all mitigation standards of mask wearing, hand hygiene, reduced time together, fresh air exchange, and physical distancing. We want to uphold our safety protocols to limit spread, help our parishioners feel safe coming to mass, and to care for the common good.
