DAY OF PRAYER
Election Day, November 3 from 8:00am-8:00pm

No matter your chosen candidate or stance on a particular issue, this day can host tension as winds of change blow in. We pray to the only One who will never change, for wisdom, for our leaders and nation, and praise Him who we trust. |

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. To register, please call the church office at 425-823-0787 and leave your name and email address.
