JOIN US FOR MASS THIS WEEKEND |

Sunday at 9:00am
Sunday at 11:00am
GUEST PRIEST
This weekend we are blessed to have Fr. Alex celebrating all of our Masses while Fr. Vu is at the Men’s Retreat.
PRACTICE OF HOPE
Isaiah speaks of God's Word and action among the Israelites: God's Word goes forth and created the deeds that he speaks, and all creation yields to God's intention. Our knowledge of the kingdom of heaven gives us hope in God's promise. How will you carry that hope forward this week? Let your hope in God become fruitful action: Plant a hopeful seed in someone who needs it, by an encouraging word or act.
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.

Thank you! Miracles happen through your prayers. Tony Pangilinan, parishioner and chef extraordinaire, wishes to thank you all for your prayers for healing two weeks ago at the weekend Masses. Your prayers account for one of the three miracles that he has experienced in his life. Through your prayers God has granted him healing and he feels he has a new life! Prayer changes things, God is Good!
Do you have a praise report? Please send a write up to Ana, aklepper@sjvkirkland.org, to share with the parish, so we can all be witnesses of God's work in our lives.

"YOU ARE THE VINE - WE ARE THE BRANCHES"
Saturday, November 4 after the 4:00pm Mass
|
|
While you are off on your summer vacation, please keep an eye out for interesting items for the auction. Remember, the theme is “working in the vineyard,” and the key to a good auction item is to think “if I want this, someone else might too. Buy two of something, one for you and one for the auction or ask the hotel or travel agent to donate. Are you golfing somewhere or maybe buying a parasailing package? Ask them to donate.
In keeping with our winery/vineyard theme, we are looking for donations of corks and wine crates/boxes (the wooden ones you get when picking up your wine club orders). Wine corks can be deposited in the vase on the welcome table.
We are looking to fill our auction committees and need people at every level. Contact Ann V. for help deciding where you would most enjoy volunteering. We will not have a scheduled meeting over the summer, if you have any thoughts, questions, ideas about the auction, please contact Ann at avandewark@sjvkirkland.org.
And don’t forget about our procurement challenge. Ask three businesses for donations – we did the hard work of writing a letter for you and coming up with ways to approach a business. If you didn’t receive your packet, pick one up at the welcome table.
Thank you for supporting SJV!
