A Letter from the Pastoral Coordinator
Dear Families,
This year, the Archdiocese of Seattle is celebrating its 175th Anniversary! To honor our local history while embracing our Catholic social teachings, the Archdiocese of Seattle is hosting a “Season of Service” from March 1-May 31. Together local Catholic schools, parishes, ministries, and families are invited to participate with the goal of reaching 175,000 collective hours of service across Western Washington! The Archdiocese is providing opportunities to volunteer with local Catholic agencies, which can be found at https://archseattle.org/service
Our 4th Annual Day of Service is happening during the Season of Service on Saturday, April 5 and provides an opportunity for individuals and families of all ages, abilities, and schedules to volunteer at one of 25 local agencies working on the environment, hunger alleviation, immigration, family support, and more! We will be logging our Day of Service hours on the Archdiocese’s Season of Service website. You can be part of the effort by registering for the Day of Service by this Sunday, March 16 at https://app.formcrafts.com/31e6f0c3 You can view a full list of project options here: https://olgseattle.org/day-of-service Put your faith into action, give back to your community, and be part of a movement to serve in Western Washington!

Stations of the Cross and Lenten Meals
All are invited to join us for weekly Stations of the Cross and Lenten Meals every Friday. We will pray the Stations of the Cross at 6pm in the Church and then share a Lenten, meatless meal in the Hall. Our four South Seattle Parishes will rotate hosting each week. Join us tonight, Friday, March 14 at St. George and the following Friday, March 21 at St. Peter. We provide guides to help you pray the Stations and reflect on the Passion of Jesus.
Lenten Bible Study: The Passion of Christ
The Passion Lenten Bible Study begins next Tuesday, March 18 at St. George in the St. Francis room from 6:30-8pm. In a four-week study from the Gospel of Luke, we will explore Jesus' entry into Jerusalem, the Last Supper, Agony in the Garden, Jesus' trials and crucifixion, His burial and resurrection. We will use the Catechism as well as the Old and New Testament for our study. Suggested donation is $5.00. Please join us, bring your Bible and Catechism or have access on your phone. Please sign up in the entryway of the church or email Jennifer at jibach@stedwardparish.net, so we have enough materials for everyone. All are welcome!
