Feast of Pope St. John XXIII

We will celebrate our New Parish’s Patron - Pope St. John XXIII on Sunday Oct 9th at 9:45am. Archbishop Etienne will be joining with us for this special celebration. Mark your calendar for this special event. 

Seven Sisters Apostolate

Bishop Etienne has asked for the Seven Sisters Apostolate to grow in our archdiocese. Our goal is to cover every single priest and seminarian with a holy hour every day. We are asking women to consider joining this apostolate by offering one holy hour a week on a certain day for a year for a particular priest. Most importantly, we would want to take care of our pastor and assistant pastors first. 

If interested, please contact Sue Gallwas at 253-312-9471. See the website for more information sevensistersapostolate.org
