Lord, Hear Our Prayers
For all who are ill, and those who care for them: especially Mirek Radziun, friend of Marita Simpson; Lorraine Hartmann; Fenn Shrader & Elaine Larsen, friends of John Landon; Joseph Li; Ashley Emery, son of Linda Emery; Darnell Hamlet, friend of Kim Ross; and Ann Leachman. May God’s healing love sustain and comfort them.

Christ is that Morning Star which never sets. May all who have died: especially Barbara Marsh, sister of Mary Margaret Brown; know the brightness of His presence.

We invite you to complete our Prayer Request Form or call/email Jody Fitts at the parish office at 206-523-6776 to add names to the prayer list.

CCS/CHS are our local Catholic Charities at work serving nearly 100,000 Western Washingtonians across 170 programs every year. We encourage you to watch the videos and prayerfully consider how you might join the thousands of volunteers and staff this year in supporting our neighbors in need at www.ccsww.org/ccs-week.
OLL, How Are You?
Since we haven't been able to get together after Mass, we thought we would reach out to some parishioners to get updates about how they are doing. If you would like to submit an update about your family and a picture, please send it into Liz Jackman

First up, an update from Kim Harmon...
"Ryan graduated from Santa Clara University in 2019 and is working in commercial real estate for Institutional Property Advisors and lives on Capitol Hill.  Jack is working in the construction industry. Patrick is a junior at the University of San Diego studying finance and real estate, and Sean is in his first quarter at Dartmouth where he plays football and trying to figure out what to study. I feel most “complete” when I have them all home with me and am looking forward to when they will all be here. They will still occasionally dress up in matching (or at least coordinating) clothes purely to humor me which I deeply appreciate."
