Welcome To Our Lady of Sorrows
Snoqualmie, Washington
Reminder: Daylight Savings Time ends Sunday, November 2nd. Please remember to set your clocks back one hour before going to sleep on Saturday night.
How do we express our discipleship?
By returning a portion of all that has been given to us back to God.
Archbishop Etienne beautifully affirms this in his Spirituality of Stewardship video, reminding us that “the starting point of stewardship is recognizing that everything we have, everything that we are, is by God’s initiative—God’s grace.”
Embracing stewardship allows us to experience the deep joy that comes from developing, using, and sharing our God-given gifts in service to others.
Your pledge of Treasure makes it possible for our parish to continue its mission and ministries. Thank you for being part of this journey of faith and generosity.

Please share your talent by knitting, crocheting, cutting fleece or buying scarves, hats and gloves and place them in the basket by the doors during the month of October.
