Join your fellow parishioners in coming back to mass, to worship at the Lord’s table, to receive Him in the Eucharist to fuel your faith. Catholic Churches have successfully developed effective safety protocols. THANK YOU to all the ministers and volunteers who make this possible for SJV!
Pease join us at one of the following Masses:
Saturday at 5:00pm
Sunday at 9:00am
Sunday at 11:00am
Some changes you'll see at Mass to protect ourselves, to protect our neighbors, and to protect the ability FOR ALL to safely worship together - face masks required, no singing, and no Blood of Christ. Clearly marked sections for worship are available for people seeking physical distancing.
The Archdiocese COVID Guidelines ask that even during these colder Winter months, we continue to keep our doors and windows open to ensure proper ventilation. We encourage you to come to Mass with coats on!
Please self-screen and stay home if you are not feeling well. Sick, vulnerable, at-risk, and otherwise concerned persons are encouraged to celebrate Mass with us via live stream.

We give thanks to the Santo Niño for the dry weather during the procession last Sunday. Thanks to all who worked to make this feast a great success. Father Vu did a solemn blessing of all the statues, and the pictures of the Santo Niño colored by the children who participated. The children did a good job shouting their praises, “VIVA SANTO NINO! VIVA SANTO NINO!” It was so touching. Thank you to all those who participated in the procession.
Santo Niño help all of us in our faith and protect our children. VIVA SANTO NINO!

Evangelization is the first priority of the Church, and Northwest Catholic magazine is one of the most effective tools we have to proclaim the Good News of Jesus Christ. For this reason, Northwest Catholic is sent free of charge to every registered Catholic household in Western Washington — more than 110,000 — with a message of hope that everyone so desperately needs. This is made possible by your generous support. Your donation is a great way to share the gift of faith with others. Thank you for your past and continued support of this annual collection. |

Displaced Afghan family living on Finn Hill needs our help. Evacuated by the US Military, this multi-family group, including 6 young infants and children, one of whom is experiencing a serious medical condition, has been sponsored by World Relief to settle here in Kirkland. As World Relief's assistance winds down, a team of volunteers is urgently needed and will be trained to help the family with their next steps, including frequent check-ins, and navigating such challenges as limited English, medical appointments, transportation, cultural issues and school enrollment. If you feel called to be one of these volunteers, please contact Susan, sweaver@sjvkirkland.org, as soon as possible for more information.
