As you know, our governor recently signed into law a bill that redefines marriage in the State of Washington.

 Welcome Message From Fr. Jim Coyne

Dear Friend,

As pastor, I want to welcome you to our online community. If you are searching for a spiritual home, we hope you consider St. John’s.

Our parish is located south of Seattle, and has more than 1100 registered families. We are a Roman Catholic community that challenges itself to be a family of hospitality and life-giving worship, and we are committed to taking the gospel of Jesus Christ out into the world.

The collective mission of our parish community allows the diversity of gifts to be used to answer Christ’s call to proclaim and live the Gospel through:

  • Worship -  Live out the dignity and giftedness of our baptismal call through prayer, devotion and through full, active and conscious participation in the mass.

  • Evangelization - Bring people closer to Christ, and to each other, through the testimony of our words and witness of our lives.

  • Apostolic Formation -  Create and nurture faith formation and support the discernment and use of our God-given gifts.

  • Service -  Share our spiritual gifts, resources and talents with our parish, our community, and our world through charitable action and social justice

These are just a few of the offerings you will find at St. John’s. Please accept my invitation to join us for any of our liturgies.

May God always bless you,
Fr. Jim Coyne
