For the sick, particularly those with Covid-19 and those who care for them. We pray for Kevin & Sherri Topping; Brian Pardo, father of Desi Pardo; Sr. Francine Barber; Patricia Wellnitz; and Mary Davis.
For those who have died, especially Greg Olson, father of Megan Hanni, grandfather to Eileen Rose & Louis; Estela Llenado Zamora; Margaret Miller, sister of Karen Jorve; and Rosalind Naumann, long-time member of OLL. May Christ welcome them into the fullness of life where sorrow and pain exist no more.
We invite you to email Jody Fitts to add names to the prayer list.

We were so happy to see your faces!
Thank you for joining us this past Sunday for our first Virtual Coffee Hour. We had 30 households join us! A special thank you to Father Tim, Alison and David for updating us on what's been happening at the parish and some things that are planned for the future. We heard the answers to the some of the questions we all have been wondering about. Like, "What is the name of Father Tim's new cat?" Buddy!
A recording of the meeting, if you didn't have a chance to join us, is HERE. Would you like to do this again? Are you interested in helping with Parish Life events in the future? Please email Liz Jackman.
Thank you,
Marc Linafelter, Sally Wright and Liz Jackman

Bring the full tithes into the storehouse . . . and see if I will not open the windows of heaven for you and pour down an overflowing blessing. — Malachi 3:10
The uncertainty of this pandemic spring continues for all of us. As we look towards Pentecost, we are grateful that we have been able to count on your continued generosity for our neighbors.
We received almost 30 calls in April and gave more than $3000 for rent and utilities, significantly less than in March. We also continue to give food, and help with clothing, gasoline, bus tickets, and other household needs.
Like other Vincentians in King County, we worry that fewer calls do not mean fewer needs. What will happen when the moratorium is lifted, and unemployed neighbors will owe staggering amounts of back rent? There are some signs that federal and state help is beginning to flow, but we continue to pray and talk about how we can help those who suffer financial burdens in the uncertain months ahead.
But there is joy and hope. One homeless neighbor, a recovering alcoholic, was surprised to find strangers could be generous. He is making a new chapter in his life as he repairs family relationships and works as a landscaper. We pray he can use our modest help as he finds himself and his purpose again.
Our pantry needs hand soap, dishwashing soap, and spaghetti sauce.
Thank you for your generosity in this beautiful Easter season.

He will now head to Fort Sills, Oklahoma where he will attend additional schooling as an Artillery Officer and then onto his assigned base at Cape Lejuene, North Carolina.
Congratulations Noah and thank you for your service.

In-Person Mass Registration and Livestream |

We wish to safely welcome those who feel comfortable back into the church for in-person liturgies, Sundays at 10am. With this, there is important information about attending Mass in-person v. viewing via livestream that we encourage you all to read carefully before registering (please find the link here).
We thank you for your patience as we work to create these options for both congregants who wish to attend in-person and those who wish to continue worshiping from home.
