Beginning Sunday, Sept. 27, St. Aloysius Parish will begin the process of returning congregational singing to the Mass. The current regulations for the State of Washington allow for congregational singing with masks. We invite you to sing along with the Mass parts!

Many people have inquired how they can directly donate to fire relief in those areas that have been impacted in the diocese. The Diocese can receive donations for this effort which will then be directed to agencies on the ground. At this time we do not have online giving set up for this special collection but if you would like to donate checks may be mailed to:

Diocese of Spokane

525 E Mission Ave

Spokane, WA 99202

Please indicate “Fire Relief” in the memo line.

Daily habits for a healthy planet

“This year, amid crises that have shaken our world, we’re awakened to the urgent need to heal our relationships with creation and each other. During the season this year, we enter a time of restoration and hope, a jubilee for our Earth, that requires radically new ways of living with creation.”
Pope Francis, 2020 Season of Creation Message

In a time of quarantine, digital learning, racial injustice, intensifying storms, and mass migration, holding space to act on climate change can feel overwhelming. This Season of Creation, start simple with one new daily habit for a healthy planet.

Step one: Choose ONE daily action to repeat each day throughout the 34 days that will renew your relationship with creation or that will allow you to explore a radical new way of living with creation.

Step two: Take the pledge to commit to ONE action repeated daily throughout the 34 days of the Season of Creation to build a new environmental habit you’ve been meaning to get around to but haven’t made time for.

Step three: Form and track your healthy habit for the planet! If desired, we will send a daily email or text message reminder to keep you motivated.
