ELEVENTH SUNDAY IN ORDINARY TIME |
|
JOIN US FOR MASS THIS WEEKEND |
|
Saturday at 5:00pm
Sunday at 9:00am
Sunday at 11:00am
PRACTICE OF CHARITY
Moved with pity for the troubled, abandoned people before him, Jesus' response is to summon, empower, and send his followers to their aid, saying, "Without cost you have received; without cost you are to give." Jesus makes explicit the connection between discipleship with him and service to, and leadership of, those who are lost and in need. Whenever the Church becomes more attentive to her well-being than to her mission to be Christ's body in the world, she herself becomes lost. Jesus sent the disciples to preach, to cure the sick, to drive out demons. In your time and place, how can you respond to your call to be a laborer for the harvest?
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.

God our Father, we give you thanks and praise for fathers young and old.
We pray for young fathers, newly embracing their vocation; may they find the courage and perseverance to balance work, family, and faith in joy and sacrifice.
We pray for our own fathers who have supported and challenged us; may they continue to lead in strong and gentle ways.
We remember fathers around the world whose children are lost or suffering; may they know that the God of compassion walks with them in their sorrow.
We pray for men who are not fathers but still mentor and guide us with fatherly love and advice.
We remember father, grandfathers, and great-grandfathers who are no longer with us but who live forever in our memory and nourish us with their love. Amen.

Pope Benedict called the Solemnity of Corpus Christi and procession a “profession of faith by Catholics of Jesus Christ truly alive and present in the Most Holy Sacrament of the Eucharist, and a public statement of belief." Thank you to all of you who joined us in walking with the Lord and taking our faith to the streets, and to all who assisted in the planning and preparations for the Eucharistic Procession. |

WE WELCOME OUR NEW PASTORAL ASSISTANT FOR MUSIC AT THE END OF THE MONTH |
|
Hello, dear brothers and sisters in Christ!
My name is Christina Bernal and I have been given the honor of being St. John Vianney’s Music Director. I had been choral director for the past 20 years for several parishes throughout the Diocese of Yakima and Archdiocese of Seattle.
For the past 17 years I had been serving multiple parishes from Everett to Lakewood. My husband, Richie and I are so thankful the Lord has brought us to the “Light on Finn Hill” for us and our four children to finally plant our roots.
I look forward to meeting all of you and praising God with you through song. I promise to serve our music ministry prayerfully and with great care.
Yours in Christ,
Christina Bernal

Tonight - Tuesday, June 13 at 7:00pm - St. John Vianney, Kirkland

With SJV being the first parish in which Fr. Kevin became pastor, he saw it fitting to celebrate the 25th anniversary of his ordination at our church. Fr. Kevin asked if he could host his celebration at SJV and invite all of us, along with parishioners from his former parish, Mary Queen of Peace, Sammamish. Of course, we welcomed him and are excited to celebrate with him.
You are cordially invited by Fr. Kevin to attend and participate in the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass celebrating the Anniversary of his Ordination to the Catholic Priesthood. Dessert reception to follow. Please no gifts other than your presence.
Fr. Kevin would like to take up a collection at his anniversary mass. Half of the collection will go to Water Access Now and the other will go to Catholic Community Services.
