Parish News: Help Distributing PreP's Gifts; Christmas Season Church Schedule

Thank you so much for your generosity this Christmas season! We collected so many loving gifts for the families at Catholic Community Services’ Pregnancy and Parenting Support program (PrePs). PrePs could now use some help handing all those gifts out to the families next Monday, December 19 at St. Edward. If you are available to help check families in or distribute gifts, please contact Jennifer (jibach@stedwardparish.net). We are looking for help between 9am-12:30pm and 1:30pm-6pm. This will be a fun and rewarding event full of holiday cheer. Santa and Mrs. Clause will even be there for the families for photo ops! Come join in the festivities!

Also, here is the Southeast Seattle Paris Cluster Christmas Season schedule:

The four parishes in the Southeast Seattle Cluster (Sts. George, Edward, Peter, and Paul) invite you to continue to celebrate the Advent and Christmas Seasons with us. Join us for Simbang Gabi Masses from 12/15-12/23 at 6pm (except 12/18 after the 10:30am Mass). Bishop Tyson will be with us on 12/17 and Bishop Schuster on 12/23. We have our final Reconciliation Service on Saturday, 12/17 at St. Peter at 11am. Our Christmas Eve and Christmas Masses will be at the usual weekend times at all our parishes (see attached schedule), with the addition of a Vietnamese-language Mass at 8:30am at St. George on Christmas Day. Be sure to mark your calendars for the next Whole Family Faith Formation gathering for youth K-6 and their families on Sunday, January 8 at St. George at 9:00am to celebrate Epiphany! We wish you all a very Merry Christmas.

Peace,

Jennifer Ibach
