CHRISTMAS FOOD DRIVE

The Ministries of the Poor/Ministries of Care thank you all who participated in supporting the Christmas Baskets this year. With the generosity of parishioners from Pope St. John XXIII Parish, St. John of the Woods Mission, the South Tacoma Chapel, and St. Rita Station, we were able to bring Christmas joy to the families in need. Thank you all so much!

THANK YOU VOLUNTEERS FOR HELPING WITH CHRISTMAS DECORATIONS

Last Sunday, our volunteers helped to put up Christmas decorations for the Church (inside and outside). Everything looks so beautiful. Words are not enough to say thank you. May God bless you all for the good works you have done.

Let's keep our spirit up to welcome the Lord, who is on the way. Rejoice, the time is near. Thank you all
