FAMILY LIFE This
commission tries to plan activities that enhance marriage and/or family
life. Each week there is a column in
the Sunday bulletin with information or activities of interest to our parish
families.
ACTIVITES FOR
FAMILIES Video tapes
and books on family life, marriage, parenting, and general interest are available in the Parish office. Several
magazines are available either in the Church or in the offices. Call Anne for more information. Several Archdiocesan programs are available to help marriages and families among these are: Marriage Encounter to help strengthen good marriages; Retrouvaille to help marriages that are encountering difficulties;. Beginning Experience to help those having a transition from a relationship through death or divorce; Divorce and Beyond for those experiencing divorce. We also have a counselor available to help with any family or marriage problem. Call the Parish Office to make an appointment with Dr. Jeff Baird. (425)778-3122. If you were
not married in the Church—and wish to have your marriage blessed, please call
the office for further information. Those who
have experienced divorce and wish to pursue the possibility of obtaining an
annulment, please contact the office to arrange to meet with an advocate who can help
you through the process. If you are
engaged to be married, please contact the Church as soon as possible and at
least 6 months prior to your chosen date.
Preparation for this sacrament is required and time is needed to achieve
this. Do you have some ideas for family activities, marriage strengthening or other activities, please call and share them with the Parish Office (425)778-3122 THANK
YOU, THANK YOU!!! This
year’s Easter basket project was the most successful yet. We had more donations and volunteers than
ever before. About 40 parishioners
attended the Saturday work parties and the 800 baskets were assembled in record
time!! Because of you, many children were smiling Easter morning, and many
parents were happy to be able to give their children a great memory! The 800 baskets were received by the following
agencies: Catholic CommunityServices, Blessed Sacrament, and a Little Red Schoolhouse. Thank you again to all who support and help with this
project. God Bless You! It couldn’t have happened without you!
