Lincoln Loggers K-2 Literacy Night
Wednesday, March 20th (6pm-7:30pm)
Hey Saints!
We are looking for some volunteers to support our Lincoln Loggers Littles Literacy Night coming up on March 20th. The Lincoln Staff will provide dinner and many activities around a specific book. At the end, families will leave with a copy of the book. This year’s book is “Maybe Something Beautiful: How Art Transformed a Neighborhood” from Isabel Campoy and Theresa Howell and Rafael López (Illustrator).
For this event, we need your help!! We would love it if you could support our Loggers by volunteering to help guide some activities. Each teacher is organizing one activity and they will show volunteers what to do so families and their students can enjoy and create amazing things together during the event.
I realize that this is a Soup Supper and Book Study Evening for many of us. But perhaps those Saints who aren’t engaging in the Book Study may find this a wonderful and fulfilling opportunity to “put good back into the world”. Please contact Art or Micheline to learn more.

BIG NEWS!! From Peace and Justice in Action at ASEC
Our brothers and sisters of the Chinook Nation have achieved a significant legal victory by securing access to settlement funds from their long-standing Docket 234 case. This journey began in the 1890s when their first attorneys were hired to seek damages for ancestral lands that the United States unjustly stole.
The Federal Courts, the Bureau of Indian Affairs, and Congress have now not only affirmed their right to these funds, but also confirmed their legitimacy as a tribe, their connection to ancestral lands, and their identity as the rightful descendants of the Lower Chinook and Clatsop ancestors.
Now that they have been recognized as rightful heirs of their ancestors, this victory reinforces the fight for full federal recognition under the anticipated Chinook Indian Nation Restoration Act.
You can read more about this historic moment on the tribe’s website: https://chinookjustice.org/docket-234-press-release/

WEDNESDAY SOUP SUPPERS AND LENTEN STUDY
begin February 21st at 6 pm in the Parish Hall. Our book has changed but the author hasn’t. Benedictine Prioress Joan Chittister’s book, “In God’s Holy Light: Wisdom from the Desert Monastics”, explores the wisdom of desert mothers and fathers who lived in the Egyptian wastelands between the third and fifth centuries -now regarded as the Olympians of the spiritual life.
Sign up so we know how many to expect.
Martha has volunteered to order books from Amazon or you can order your own. This book is also available on Audible narrated by the author.
Lent is the time to make space for God – to take time apart from our daily lives for silence, to reflect and clear our hearts and minds of distractions so we might hear God’s voice. Let’s make time to listen in the silent spaces together.
