Patroness: Our Lady of Guadalupe
We look to Our Lady for guidance, inspiration and courage in all we do for Life.

Our mission is to foster a respect for all human life from conception through natural death. We acknowledge that every human life is unique and created in the image of God. It is our goal to educate, encourage, and equip others to be involved through prayer, study, apostolic witness and community outreach. We believe that it is our baptismal call to protect and defend those who cannot speak for themselves: the weak and defenseless, especially the unborn, elderly, handicapped and dying. We seek always a loving relationship with God and our neighbors.

August Meeting:  7:00pm Thursday, August 12

Dear Parish family and friends. The month of July is upon us, which means it’s time for our Respect Life Ministry to join with our Knights of Columbus council in supporting 4US (For Ultra Sound). 4US is a local respect life charity, who have over the years, with our help, furnished ultrasound machines to pregnancy centers here in Washington and across the US.

The 4US mission is to illuminate hope for pregnant women in crisis through the power of ultrasound. Remember, 96% of women viewing their baby on ultrasound, opt to keep the baby. A powerful way they can do that is with help from our parish family and the Knights of Columbus. Please go to https:// 4us.org/adopt-a-center/about to learn more about this wonderful life saving organization and consider donating, so that we at SSTM can continue to stand for Stand for Life.
