Thank You!
The members of the Social Justice Commission would like to thank everyone who donated socks during our sock drive this winter. All of your thoughtful and generous donations were delivered to Sacred Heart Shelter at its new location near Des Moines. They were very thankful and will share any extras with other shelters in the area. We have told the director of these shelters to feel free to ask for any items they may need.
Once again your generosity is a great blessing for those in our community who face many challenges!
Coffee & Donuts ON HOLD
We are taking precautionary methods to reduce the risk of spreading Covid until we break through this current wave. Coffee & Donuts is really our best excuse to foster our sense of community and belonging. Building relationships rooted in faith and our love for Jesus is a beautiful experience.
Once it is advisable to return you’ll be sure that you can gather with friends over a piping hot coffee and one (or two, or three…) glazed old fashioned donuts. To date we’ve received a total of $507.96 and we need $150 weekly to provide this opportunity for hospitality and community. Please consider making a contribution. Click below to donate and make sure you select ‘Coffee & Donuts’ from the dropdown.

The Northwest Catholic Collection
Evangelization is the first priority of the Church, and Northwest Catholic magazine is one of the most effective tools we have to proclaim the Good News of Jesus Christ. For this reason, Northwest Catholic is sent free of charge to every registered Catholic household in Western Washington —more than 110,000 —with a message of hope that everyone so desperately needs. This is made possible by your generous support. Your donation is a great way to share the gift of faith with others. Thank you for your past and continued support of this annual collection.

Hungry for the Eucharist?
Are you or do you know someone who wants to receive the Eucharist, but is unable to attend mass? Archbishop Etienne remind us in his letter reinstating the obligation to attend mass that “those who have a serious reason are excused from attending Mass on Sundays and holy days of obligation (Catechism of the Catholic Church, 2181). This includes those who are ill, have significant health risk factors or care for someone who is ill or immunocompromised, as well as those who have significant fear or anxiety about contracting COVID in a large group.”
Pre-K & Kindergarten Information Night
The Pre-K/Kindergarten Information Night on January 27th at 6:30 pm will be a Zoom meeting instead of our usual in-person meeting. Please con tact Jennifer Hazzard, jhazzard@stannesea.org if you would like to receive a Zoom link to the session. The Open House scheduled for January 30 has been postponed. We are hoping to reschedule it later this winter when we can have an in-person event.

School Days
Take Courage
John 16:33
There have been a number of Welcome Backs this year. The latest is to the 8th grade class. As a Covid caution, the 8th graders spent the week of Jan. 10-14 on remote learning. On a week when the Assembly theme was, “Members of a Beloved Community’ they were back in their accustomed seats.
Compliments to the 1st grade class and teacher, Mrs. Maura Dahlman for their presentation of the theme. Cut-outs of each of their hands were intertwined to create a frame for their expressions of what creates a beloved community. Among their thoughts, “Kindness to all”, “Treat everyone as your friend”, “Take responsibility”, “Include everyone.” Can you feel the love?
Social Distance Section at Church
Per archdiocesan advisory we have made a section available for those who wish to social distance. Space is limited due to higher Mass attendance. If you wish to be seated in this section please ask one of the ushers.
