WELCOME!

Is someone you love unable to join us at church during this holy time of Lent and Easter? For the faithful at home or in healthcare settings, the Heart of the Nation Sunday TV Mass brings spiritual comfort and the blessings of joy-filled hope in our Risen Savior. Invite anyone who cannot get out to church to tune in Catholic Mass on KAYU channel 28 (Fox28) at 6 am or KAYU ch. 28.2 (My28 antenna TV) at 9 a.m. You can also watch online anytime on Sundays at www.HeartoftheNation.org. For those who can get to church, please remember the TV or online liturgy does not fulfill the Sunday Mass obligation.

There will be no St. Patrick's Day Dinner at Holy Ghost Parish in Valley this year.

CRS Rice Bowls During Lent many in our diocese will participate in Catholic Relief Services Rice Bowl program, a faith-in-action program that invites us to encounter the needs of the world with the hope of the Resurrection. You can find CRS Rice Bowls, along with Lenten Calendars, in each of our parishes. Take one home and fill it with spare change throughout the Lenten Season. 25 percent of donations stay in Eastern WA to fund grants for hunger and nutrition around the diocese and 75 percent of funds go to Catholic Relief Services. Go to www.crsricebowl.org for more info.
