A GIFT FOR YOU
A collection of Lenten themed reflections by
Archbishop J. Peter Sartain, “An Lenten
Pilgrimage: Journeying with Jesus,” is a free
gift from the archbishop for all Catholics in
Western Washington.
The book includes columns the archbishop has written
over the years for the diocesan publications of Little
Rock, Arkansas; Joliet, Indiana; and Seattle. One booklet
per household has been provided.
Hungering for the JourneyJoin our parish community–
and more than 13,000 Catholic
communities across the United
States– in a life changing
Lenten journey with CRS Rice
Bowl. Pick up your family’s rice bowl from the church
on Ash Wednesday, and don’t forget to download the
CRS Rice Bowl app! Rice bowls will be sent home in the
school family envelopes. Remember, your Lenten
sacrifices change lives.
CATHOLIC HOME MISSIONS
The Catholic Home Missions Appeal will take place next
week. One way that this appeal works to strengthen home
mission dioceses in the United States is by funding
seminarian formation in poor dioceses. The blessing of
seminarians places a financial burden on these dioceses,
where educating each seminarian costs $35-40K per year.
Your support is needed for these young men so that they
might go back and serve their parishes. Please strengthen
the Church at home by making a generous gift to next
week’s appeal.
QUESTIONS ABOUT THE
CATHOLIC CHURCH?
Are you looking for a spiritual home? Are
you curious about the Catholic Church? Are
you returning to the Church after being away?
Would you like to learn more about the
Catholic faith? The Rite of Christian
Initiation of Adults (RCIA) is a program of inquiry and
study leading to possible reception of the sacraments at
the Easter Vigil. There will be no class on February
18th– Ash Wednesday. For more information please call
the parish office or contact Vivian Martin at 206-2339154.
