Easter Message Series
From Sunday, April 21, 2019 through Sunday, May 19, 2019
The very idea of evangelizing other people rubs most Catholics the wrong way. But in this new message series for the Easter season, we won’t ask you to walk down Market Street screaming through a bullhorn or wear a full-body, double-sided placard that reads, “Turn or Burn.”
Instead, we want to show you how marshaling the strengths you already have can be an incredibly effective way of bringing the message of Christ to the world. Each week of this message series, we’ll be talking about a different way that you can take the ordinary circumstances of life and use them to inspire other people to think about the beauty, goodness, and truth of God and our faith.

Third Annual Saint Brendan Festival
May 18, 2019
Enjoy dinner with your fellow parishioners at our Third Annual Parish Festival in honor of our patron saint. Mass at 5 p.m., followed by cocktails and dinner in our school gym. Terry Hershey, author of The Power of Pause, will be this year's speaker. Kid-friendly food and activities. $15.00 adults, $8.00 children.
About the Speaker:
Rounding out this year’s parish theme, A Year of Healing, we are proud to present our capstone event featuring the inspirational, Terry Hershey. Author, humorist, inspirational speaker, dad, ordained minister, golf addict, and smitten by French wine, Terry divides his time between designing sanctuary gardens and sharing his practice of “pausing” and “sanctuary,” to help us do less and live more. Terry’s book, The Power of Pause, offers the permission to slow down and to be gentle with ourselves, in a world that demands more - bigger - faster. Most days, you can find Terry out in his garden–on Vashon Island in the Puget Sound—because he believes that there is something fundament-ally spiritual about dirt under your fingernails.
