Thoughts and Thanks on Stewardship |
|
One year later….
It’s hard to believe that it has been just over a year since our life at St. John Parish changed forever due to the world-wide pandemic. Last March saw the shutdown of most things, including celebrating in-person Mass. Look how far we have come! Almost immediately, and with the help of many, we adapted to live-streaming the Mass so our parishioners could “attend” and feel some sort of connection to those who they were used to seeing and breaking bread with each week. What a joy it was to be able to begin in-person Mass again in July!
Even in the midst of such hardship and uncertainty, the ongoing stewardship from you is a testament to your faith in God and commitment to our community. As you know, the weekly offertory helps to sustain our parish financially to be able to serve the many ministries of St. John. Without your generosity, we would not be able to continue to serve as we have during this past year.
Asante Sana to all of you who continue to give of your time and resources. We are so grateful for your support. Donate to St John here.

Thank you from St. Vincent de Paul |
|
Thank you for generously supporting your neighbors through these difficult times! The parish’s St. Vincent de Paul conference has utilized your monetary donations, food drive contributions, and school student support to connect with our neighbors in need. We have been able to fulfill rental and utility assistance requests and supply food, diapers, and clothing to many struggling families within our community. We have also been able to meet essential needs of our unsheltered neighbors, providing them with food and hygiene items.
As our community continues to navigate this pandemic, do you know a neighbor who could use our support? Please encourage them to contact us through our help line at 206.767.6449. The St. John’s conference serves and lives by our mission of “a network of friends, inspired by Gospel values, growing in holiness, and building a more just world through personal relationships with and service to people in need”.
