WELCOME

Each year, the Holy Father asks for our prayers for a specific intention each month. Our Holy Father has entrusted these intentions in a particular way to the Apostleship of Prayer, an organization that works to encourage Christians to respond to the Pope's appeal and to deepen their daily prayer.

Starting in September, we will begin religious education for students sixth grade and younger. Parents are encouraged to attend. Classes will take place every other Sunday before mass in Chewelah at St. Mary’s School, 8:45-9:45 am. One half of the class will be a large group gathering to discuss the Sunday readings with a related craft or activity, and parents are encouraged to take part. During the second half of the class, students will break into groups depending on their ages, along with a separate parent discussion group. These classes will include sacramental preparation for First Eucharist and Confirmation, which begins at second grade. Contact the office now to register your children so we can order materials.

Congratulations to parishioners Bud and Diane Evans for being named the 2018 Honored Citizens of Chewelah. See their story in The Independent newspaper. Visit: https://chewelahindependent.com/bud-and-diane-evans-named-honored-citizens/
