All Souls Day Prayer Service, Tuesday November 2 at 7:00 pm
And our Altar of Remembrance
On Tuesday November 2 at 7:00 pm, we will offer our traditional All Souls Day Service of prayer, music, and remembrance to honor our loved ones who have died. Everyone is invited to bring pictures and mementos to place on our Altar of Remembrance. These pictures will remain there until the beginning of Advent and be a sacred place in the midst of our community. If you have questions or need a ride, please call Carol Ford (206-281-5920) or Monica Bradley (cell: 206-286-7694). Masks are required in the church.
World Mission Sunday is on October 24, 2021!
This year, Pope Francis reminds us of our baptismal call – to respond as missionaries, saying "We cannot but speak about what we have seen and heard" (Acts 4:20). Today we respond to that call, through our prayers and personal sacrifices for our brothers and sisters in the Missions – in places like Uganda where people face food uncertainty and violence... in the Philippines where local clergy face martyrdom… in Oceania where people’s livelihoods are threatened by climate change… and in remote regions of Latin America where people are hearing the Gospel for the first time.
Respond this World Mission Sunday by supporting the priests, religious Sisters and Brothers, and lay catechists who provide loving service to those most in need. Thank you!
There are envelopes in your monthly packet, there will be envelopes at Church or you can click here to donate.
Volunteer Opportunities
Check out some current volunteer opportunities. Here’s the good news - signing up doesn’t commit you for life! As more and more people are returning to Mass it would be wonderful to have more people volunteering at Masses and parish ministries. Go ahead, try out something new by signing up and someone will reach out to you soon. View our current volunteer opportunities.
Rosary Group
We are starting a rosary group at St. Anne’s and would love it if you could join us starting this week. Everyone is welcomed so if you don’t know how to pray the rosary booklets will be provided, so even if you don’t know how to say the rosary you can. Rosaries and prayer booklets are available.
Wednesday – Fridays at 5pm followed by mass at 5:30
Please come join us as we pray to our Blessed Mother and meditate on the mysteries of Our Lord Jesus, and receive its many blessings.
Thank you!
Special thanks to Karen Smith, Marty Hillary, Jane Flemming, Ken Paulson, John Garrity, Caitlin Moulding and Rebecca Cortes who will be leading us in prayer!
Pastoral Council-Parish Leadership
The St. Anne Pastoral Council is beginning the discernment process for new members. Your Pastoral Council consults with Fr. Colin on setting the direction for St. Anne Parish, engaging in pastoral planning, and evaluating our ministerial efforts. Candidates need to be active registered members of our Parish community living a life of prayer and spiritual growth. If you are interested, have questions, or know someone who would be a great addition, please contact the Pastoral Council Chair, Jean Hushebeck (jeanhushebeck@gmail.com).
Comfort Room NOW OPEN
We are so pleased that so many parents are coming with young children! Parents now have the option (not required!) to use the comfort room during both weekend masses. Due to Covid restrictions there is a limit of 4 parent/child couples who may use the room at one time. There is no sign up option, simply an invitation to share the room as needed. Best of all parents can still participate in Mass by watching the livestream. The comfort room is located in the west end of the church.
All Catholics in Western Washington are invited to submit the names of those lost to Covid. Click here to submit a name. These names will be placed in a special Book of the Dead and carried in procession during the Mass.
