CHURCH
Adult Education:
Introduction to Christian Spirituality
Many
hunger for a deeper prayer life, a way of meditating
that “works,” or an experience of God’s presence in
their lives. To answer this need, Christianity
offers dozens of spiritualities—Dominican,
Franciscan, Ignatian, and so on. Why are there so
many spiritualities? How can you discern which one
is for you? Might spirituality offer more than just
a way of praying or meditating? Join Fr. Bernhard
Blankenhorn on Monday, June 14th at 7:00 PM in
McGirl Hall for an introduction to Christian
spirituality. Fr. Blankenhorn is a Dominican friar
currently preparing a dissertation in Medieval
Mystical Theology at the University of Fribourg in
Switzerland.
K OF C Pancake Breakfast
Join the Knights of
Columbus downstairs for a Pancake Breakfast after
the Morning Masses on Sunday, June 20th.
Liturgical Ministers
Sign-Up
Many of us have
vacations planned, yet our growing parish still
needs the support of our amazing ministers during
the summer months. Please take a moment to sign-up
for Summer Masses. Sign-up sheets are found at the
Gathering Space table next to the Reconciliation
Room door. We hope this voluntary option will
provide flexibility for you. You may even want to
try another Mass time! There will be no assignments
during this summer trial. Please sign-up so our
Sacristans are not left to recruit just before Mass.
Email
litmin@sjcissaquah.org if you have any
questions, concerns, or ideas. Thank you for your
dedication to our parish family!
Legion of Mary
The Pilgrim Virgin
statue is available for parishioners. To reserve for
one week, please sign the book located below the
large statue of Mary near the Chapel with your name,
phone number and the Mass you attend.

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.
