St John's Blessing of the Animals on St Francis of Assisi Feast Day
The Saint Francis of Assisi ministry and the St John Girl Scout Troop #44091 are pleased to announce the Blessing of the Animals, held on the Feast of St Francis, Sunday, October 4 at 12:30 pm in the St John school yard. Bring your pets to be blessed by Father Crispin near the statue of Mary. All humans must be masked and be prepared to socially distance from others for everyone's safety. All pets need to be well behaved and be either leashed or carried in a pet carrier. Also at the event, the Girl Scouts will be collecting donations for the Seattle Humane Society.
|
St John will also be praying the Rosary as a virtual community after the 3pm Mass on Wednesday, October 7th. Join us on Facebook live.

Father wants anyone who needs to spend time in the church in Private Prayer to have that opportunity. Having the church open only during certain hours on Tuesdays does not seem to be meeting that need. We are going to take a break from that schedule and instead offer that if you would like to spend some time in the church, come by the Parish office and we will let you in on an individual basis. If you have questions email Sheila at [email protected]. |
Liturgy Volunteers Needed
During these unprecedented times, many of our fellow parishioners who have faithfully assisted in the liturgy have been sidelined because they, or someone in their household, happen to be in a high-risk category.
As a result, we are desperately shorthanded and need your help. We need volunteers in every ministry including Ushers, Eucharistic Ministers, Sacristans and Lectors. No previous experience is required and training
is provided. If you've ever thought about volunteering in one of these ministries, there's never been a better time!
Please email Joe Sullivan, Liturgy Committee Chair ( [email protected]) if you have any questions, want to learn more about a specific ministry or are ready to step up and serve.

St John Book Club
For our next meeting we will be reading Brideshead Revisited by Evelyn Waugh.
The most nostalgic and reflective of Evelyn Waugh's novels, Brideshead Revisited looks back to the golden age before the Second World War. It tells the story of Charles Ryder's infatuation with the Marchmains and the rapidly-disappearing world of privilege they inhabit. Enchanted first by Sebastian at Oxford, then by his doomed Catholic family, in particular his remote sister, Julia, Charles comes finally to recognize only his spiritual and social distance from them. Click here for more information.We will meet Sunday, October 18th at 4pm. If the weather is nice, we will meet on the Marty's back patio. We will have a Zoom backup if needed. Email Sheila Marty to let her know if you would like to attend.

A Time to Restore
We are in the midst of the Season of Creation, where Christians all over the world celebrate creation, God's gift to us all.
This week I'd like to share another section of Pope Francis' Season of Creation message: A Jubilee is a time to restore the original harmony of creation and to heal strained human relationships. It invites us to re-establish equitable societal relationships, restoring their freedom and goods to all and forgiving one another's debts.
