TWELFTH SUNDAY IN ORDINARY TIME |
|
JOIN US FOR MASS THIS WEEKEND |
|
Saturday at 5:00pm
Sunday at 9:00am
Sunday at 11:00am
PRACTICE OF HOPE
"Fear no one... What I say to you in the darkness, speak in the light." Jesus seeks to draw his followers out of fear and spur them to trust and hope in him. Rooted in the promise of eternal life with God, Christian hope flourishes even despite hardship. With such faith and hope, Christians can proclaim the good news "on the housetops." Hope is found, as well, in everyday, seemingly inconsequential acts; for someone suffering from depression, getting out of bed can be an expression of hope. This week, take time to identify and become more deliberate about any hopeful actions you complete automatically, without realizing it.
Please continue to self-screen. Stay home if you are not feeling well and celebrate Mass with us via livestream. We are doing our best to continue to provide a safe space to worship for everyone. Click here to see current COVID safety measures.

ANNUAL CATHOLIC APPEAL 2023 |
|
Thank you for your generous support of the Annual Catholic Appeal. We couldn’t reach our goal without you. While we have reached our dollar goal, we still have only 39% participation from our parish. It is particularly important this year that a high percentage of parishioners pledge to the ACA, and if not with a monetary donation, please at least return the pledge card saying you will ray for the Archdiocese. Give today at archseattle.org/GiveACA. Thank you!
