June 2024

Summer seems to be a time to slow down. However, I don't know if you've experienced this, this year the season seems to be speeding by. As we try to keep up with the pace, It's necessary to pause, take a breath, and acknowledge God with gratitude. One thing I'm thankful for is the generosity of our parishioners and volunteers during our summer food drive earlier this month. I'm also thankful that we'll be partnering with Communities in Schools of Puyallup to provide food for our school district families in July and August. Thank YOU for your continued support of our ministries addressing hunger in our community.

Consider donating to our food bank. We have recently seen an increase in the cost of high protein items such as chicken and eggs. You can donate online (select Community Services - Food Bank from the drop down menu) or place donations in the blue envelopes in the collection basket. Thank you for helping us to provide nutritious food to our food bank families.

Due to the increased number of rental requests, we will be limiting our assistance for utilities. We will still offer propane vouchers, but we will no longer be able to provide gas cards.

Saint Paulinus of Nola | Franciscan Media

Saint Paulinus of Nola | Franciscan Media

Saint Paulinus was a married priest and bishop. In his day, marriage was not an impediment to the priesthood. Though married for many years, Saint Paulinus and his wife were childless. When they finally were blessed with a son, he lived but a few weeks.

Volunteer Opportunities

Marriage Mentor Couple

Couples preparing for marriage complete a FOCCUS inventory which identifies areas of agreement and disagreement. They are then matched with a mentor couple from our parish. Mentor couples are trained to facilitate open and honest conversations with the engaged couple. Mentor couples are couples who have been married in the church for at least 5 years. We would love to train couples who are bilingual in Spanish/English or have military experience. The schedule is flexible and our mentor couples usually only meet with 2-3 couples per year.


Homebound Eucharistic Minister

Our ministry to area nursing home and assisted living facilities continues to grow! We'd love to train more people in how to lead a communion service. If you can't commit to every week, we always need people who can fill in while the regular minister is on vacation. Our current need is helping with the communion service at Affinity.


Food Bank Driver

Many of our volunteers will be taking days off during the summer months. We'd love to train more drivers to take a regular weekly shift or serve as a sub as needed. Our shifts are Monday-Thursday from 1-3 pm or 5-7 pm.


A background check and safe environment training is required for volunteer positions. Contact Morningstar at the parish office for more information.
