9:OO AM AND 7:00 PM IN THE CHURCH
PREPARES - AN INITIATIVE OF WASHINGTON STATE BISHOPS -
February 13-14, 2021 Special collection
PREPARES – Pregnancy and Parenting Support – is an initiative of the Washington State Bishops to provide a nurturing response and promise to mothers and fathers who have chosen life. A promise of support and care from pregnancy to their child’s fifth birthday. Regardless of religious beliefs, this parish based program offers low-income families vital life affirming services.
As February approaches we wanted to let you know about the upcoming first annual PREPARES Valentine Appeal. The bishops are launching a statewide fundraising campaign to help expand the reach of PREPARES into more parishes and communities. Please keep the appeal in your thoughts and prayers as we invite people to open their heart and share Valentine love with mothers and babies in need.
To learn more, volunteer or donate to the Bishops’ PREPARES Valentine Appeal visit www.preparesforlife.org
100% of your donation will go directly to serve families in need thanks to the generous sponsorship of The Knights of Columbus Council #676.

FROM ARCHBISHOP ETIENNE:
Please nominate parishioners to participate in listening sessions to inform the Archdiocese of Seattle's new pastoral plan.
Please thoughtfully nominate Catholic parishioners who can help provide representative and diverse feedback. For example, those from different generations, ethnic backgrounds, or geographic regions of the Archdiocese of Seattle. We are seeking Catholics who do not work in formal employment with the church.
We hope to select 600 parishioners to participate in 1 of 20 listening sessions (90-120 min commitment).
