We are the Roman Catholic Faith Community of St. Philomena, called to live the Gospel of Jesus Christ through our celebrating and praying together, through our support of the faith development of each member and through our compassionate service and care for one another and the world. We do this because of our commitment to our faith, our hope in the reign of God and our love of God and neighbor.
Forty Days for Life
The Forty Days “March for Life” will be underway at the Federal Way Planned Parenthood facility on Tuesdays and Saturdays beginning October 4th and finishing November 1st. A special thanks to those who joined us last fall. Your prayerful presence for a two hour block each week from 9 am to 3 pm is a visible sign of our belief that God is the author of all life. The location of the facility in Federal Way of Planned Parenthood is on South 348th just west of Pacific Hwy South on the south side of the street. We park in the “Park and Ride” just west of the facility. We pray, sing and support each other, asking God to change the hearts of those considering abortion. PLEASE come join us as we will be a presence “rain or shine” of God’s merciful love for each person. Bring your kids!
Shalom, Deacon Jerry
