ST VINCENT DE PAUL THANKS YOU An older man cannot work due to a disability and lives in chronic pain on a small income. The good news is the man moved into an apartment after having lived in a tiny house village for some time. Not given advance notice of the move from the tiny house, the man with a generous heart gave help to a family member with some of his limited funds just prior to the move. This made the man short of rent money after the move occurred. This neighbor called the SVdP Helpline (206-767-6449 or apply online https://svdpseattle.org/get-help/online-help-request-form/). Because of your generous hearts, we gave assistance to help this neighbor get current with his rent. Information, Jo Ann Wiesner, 206-291-4012 or wiesnerjo@gmail.com.
THE CHILDREN'S FAITH FORMATION DEPARTMENT is delighted to announce that catechists, Tiffany Blanco and Wilma Gonzalez, have completed the Archdiocese of Seattle Catechetical Certification Program. The commitment demonstrated by Tiffany and Wilma to grow in their knowledge of the faith, with the desire to pass it on, is admirable. Congratulations to Tiffany and Wilma on this important achievement!
REST IN PEACE Please pray for the repose of the soul of Lynne Berry. May her soul, and the souls of all the faithful departed, through the mercy of God, rest in peace.
