Parish Secretary Position Open
A note from Kellie Trudeau: My husband Joe is now deployed overseas for an entire year with the National Guard and with four young kids at home – including two in “virtual” school -- I have decided to resign my position as parish secretary to focus on my family. Thank you all for giving me the opportunity to be your secretary these last three years. I couldn’t have done so much without all the support and encouragement I received from all of you. Please contact the office or Fr. Mike if you, or anyone you know, might be interested in being the secretary of the amazing Catholic Parishes of South Stevens County. I will be staying around until mid-October to hopefully help a little with the transition. And please don’t hesitate to keep in touch.
Rest in Peace
Rolland Goulet passed away last Friday at age 84. Rollie is a beloved member of our church and community, and loved God and our church very much. Fr. Booth will be celebrating the funeral mass, open only to close family at this time. Thank you everyone for all your thoughts and prayers for Rollie and his family

Father's Corner Week of Sept. 27
Are we willing to listen to God? Put another way, are we willing to ask him what he wants and get familiar with scripture and the catechism? One of the reasons why the new catechism came out in the 90’s was the grave problem of catechesis. Growing up I was told contradictory answers to the same question by priests. So, who do I believe? That’s why doing your homework is important so you know what pleases God. Do you have a bible and a Catechism? Perhaps Dr. Scott Hahn’s Catholic Bible Dictionary might help too. Of course as your priest I’m always willing to help answer questions. -Fr Mike
