Adult Enrichment: Romero

Join us on Monday, June 7th at 7:00 PM in McGirl Hall for a showing of the movie Romero. As the Archbishop of San Salvador during El Salvador’s brutal civil war, Romero became the “bishop of the poor.” Calling for international intervention to protect those being killed by government forces, Romero was assassinated on March 24, 1980. Archbishop Romero still challenges us to restructure our world, “in which growing disparity in wealth, increasing human misery and social violence, and ecological devastation exist as a result of human sin.” Don’t miss the opportunity to view this important movie. All are welcome!

Church Work Party

Do you feel like you want to do more for your parish community, but don’t usually have the time? Join us on Saturday, June 12th at 9:00 AM in the church parking lot for a parish work party! We will be working on the grounds grading, weeding, and performing general landscape maintenance. All ability levels are encouraged to lend a hand! Everyone is welcome!

 Parish Food Drive - Ongoing

Are you going to eat that? The soup you don’t have room for. The vegetables that were on sale. The cereal your baby doesn’t like. If it’s good food—unopened and unexpired—the Issaquah Food Bank really needs it. St. Joseph makes it even easier for you to participate! A parish volunteer delivers donations once a week from St. Joseph to the Issaquah Food Bank. Just bring your food donations to the church and drop them off in the boxes downstairs next to the elevator.
