First Saturday Mass
May 7th at 9am we will celebrate Mass with Father Hilander from Blessed Sacrament.
What a beautiful way to start your weekend, and your month, spending time in prayer and receiving the Eucharist before the busy weekend.
Join us every First Saturday for this special Devotion.
Lectio Divina
Join us for Lectio Divina in the church for a few minutes on Sunday mornings following the 8:30 mass. Lectio Divina is a reflective approach to prayerfully entering into scripture readings. An experienced parishioner will lead our Lectio Divina.

Please Support the Annual Catholic Appeal Today!
Last weekend we kicked off the 2022 Annual Catholic Appeal. By now you should have received the letter from Archbishop Etienne inviting all of us to generously support the more than 60 essential ministries and shared services of the Archdiocese through the ACA.
St. John’s goal this year is $92,226. Know that each dollar makes a difference toward helping to so many in need in the wider community of Western Washington. Please prayerfully consider how you can participate in helping our parish be a light to others. Some of you have already made your donation, and we thank you.

Yes. Opportunities!
St John Parish is a community. A community supported by it's members. It takes 9 ministers to celebrate each Mass. There are also many opportunities to serve "behind the scenes". To be good stewards of our resources, we need volunteers to fill those roles. We have several ministries in great need at this time. Please consider saying "yes" to one of these opportunities.

Climate Action Now
Most people think that contacting their representatives about climate change and legislation is too hard. A while back, I wrote about a web page I created to make it easier. While this is still a handy resource page for contacting your elected leaders, an offshoot of the Climate Reality Project recently created a fantastic phone app that takes the process of contacting your representatives to the next level called "Climate Action Now" (see climateactionnow.com).

Our school theme this year is:
“Together We Can: Walk with Justice, Love with Mercy, and Walk Humbly with God”. This year we will focus on how we can walk humbly with God by following the steps of saints, and learning how to be the best version of ourselves for God.
May
In the month of May we dedicate it to Mary, the Mother of God. She always points us to her son Jesus. Our saint of the month is Blessed Chiara Luce Badano. She is a model of what it means to offer up suffering as a form of prayer to grow closer to Jesus.
Students will be like Blessed Chiara in learning how to resolve conflicts, set goals, and explore the Catholic Social Justice Teaching of Rights and Responsibilities.
