If all has gone according to plan, Fr. Scott is now in the hospital recovering for Monday’s stem cell transplant. Please continue to keep him in your prayers during this significant health journey. He plans to be in the hospital for another week and then back home in isolation for continued recovery. Because his immune system is severely compromised, he cannot receive cards, flowers, or any gifts at this time. You can follow his updates on his CaringBridge site and leave him messages of support there: https://new.caringbridge.org/ site/5b385ce1-d0ee-11ee-81f6-f91413ca11f6

Please note: there’s no need to donate on the site as that does not go to Fr. Scott’s recovery.

Thank you to all who participated in our 4th Annual Day of Service. It was our largest year yet, with over 375 participants serving at 20+ locations in our greater Seattle community! One of the projects at the St. George School Hall drop-in location was making Care Kits for those on the street. The kits are filled with hygiene items and a snack. Please take one or two out of the bin on your way out today and keep it in your car to share with someone in need the next time you see them on the road. This is a wonderful way to offer a little hope to our neighbors and to help us encounter those living on the margins of our community.

Why do we do what we do at Mass? Each week, we look at a part of Mass to better enter into worship together. This week, we continue to look at the Liturgy of the Eucharist. After the gifts are brought up, the priest leads us through the Eucharistic Prayer. There are different forms of the prayer but it always has certain elements: 1. We remember God’s saving actions in our history, 2. We recall the memorial Jesus left us on the night before He died as well as His passion, death and resurrection, and 3. We ask God to to continue those deeds of Christ in the present and pray that we may become one body and spirit in Christ. This week we celebrate the salvific action of God and the joy of the resurrection. How can the Eucharistic Prayer help us to remember God’s faithfulness and trust in God’s care week in and week out? How can we offer this hope and mercy to others as we strive to become one body?

St. George School invites the adults in our community to attend a workshop with Dr. Caprice Hollins on Wednesday, April 30 from 6:30-8:30pm in the School Hall. The changing political landscape has left many feeling discouraged, anxious, and fearful. During these uncertain times it is easy to succumb to anger. Yet, this moment presents an opportunity to strengthen our commitment to social justice. Together, we will explore approaches for fostering authentic connections within our schools, neighborhoods, and workplaces. Using the three fundamental elements of hope to guide us we will reimagine our communities centered in belonging.

Through these practices, we can rejuvenate our hope and stand united to make a lasting impact on the future of our children.
