Parish “Welcome Back” Survey Results
Thanks to the 133 families who participated in our recent Welcome Back survey at St. John. We appreciate you taking the time to let us know how you are feeling about the changes we made during the last 18 months, whether we should keep these changes and the things we hope to bring back in the near future. We also appreciate your comments, notes and ideas! For those who asked for our prayers for loved ones that were lost or hurting, we have added the names to our Book of Prayers in the vestibule of the Church.
As we continue to keep up with the ever-changing information, especially with regard to the Delta variant, we will make our next step decisions based on the current guidelines and suggestions by the Archdiocese to ensure the safety of our community.
Asante Sana, Fr. Crispin

St. Vincent de Paul is assembling
hygiene kits that fit in small bags.
|
There is a barrel in the vestibule, dear parishioners.
The barrel is there for donations from you.
Our St. Vincent de Paul needs non-perishable food,
But now we need travel or personal-sized items too.
We distribute the food to our neighbors in need.
The small hygiene kit items are for folks with no homes.
They need UNOPENED products such as soap, hygiene wipes, tissues, shaving cream, first aid ointment, Band-Aids, deodorant, nail clippers, toothpaste, shampoo and combs.
Please put these things in the barrel when you come to church,
or take them to the parish office. Thank you.

“Ladies, do you desire to live in greater freedom? Are you longing for an authentic encounter with your true feminine identity? Register for the Undone Women’s Conference where you will experience a time of truth, beauty, and transformation, as the knots of Eve’s disobedience are “undone” through Mary’s model of radical receptivity.
Bring yourself, your mother, your sister, your adult daughters, and friends. This is a conference you won’t want to miss!
Undone: Freedom for the Feminine Heart will be held at Mary Queen of Peace Catholic Church in Sammamish, WA September 9-11, 2021 (2 evenings and all day Saturday). This event is being offered in person OR virtually via livestream! Register online for either experience at www.jpiihealingcenter.org. Scholarships, student and missionary discounts available.
