Welcome to our Catholic Church, East of Seattle, in the Snoqualmie Valley!

FROM THE DESK OF THE PASTOR

June 23, 2022

As I write this to you, it is the Solemnity of the Sacred Heart of Jesus, a day when we remember and give thanks for the passionate love of Jesus which flows from his wounded heart. God’s love expressed in and through the heart of his beloved Son is what saves us and restores  us to right relation to God and our neighbor. The love we have received from Him is meant to flow outward from us so that all might know and be caught up into the love of God. As we conclude the month of June, the month of the Sacred Heart, I invite us all to pray the Litany of the Sacred Heart in our personal prayer. May it remind us the abundant love and grace that flows for the Sacred Heart of Jesus and the call the we each have received to pass on testify to this love in our broken world:
