Coffee & Donuts
Contact: Parish Office 509.962.9819
The social time after Mass is an important time for building community in our parish. Each Sunday after 9:00 Mass, coffee, doughnuts, and juice are served in the Activity Center lobby, providing people with an opportunity for companionship with their fellow parishioners. Donations are asked to be given. During the school year, children are invited to have a donut and then head off to class quickly. This serves as a time for parishioners to connect and build community.
Catholics Returning Home
Contact: Rosemary Harrell 509.925.1015
Catholics Returning Home is a 6-week program that St. Andrew’s offers to welcome back Catholics who have been away from the Church. It is designed to create a welcoming space for returning Catholics where they can ask questions and be listened to. The emphasis is on creating an atmosphere of acceptance, welcome, and trust so they will be comfortable in rejoining our faith community and participating in the sacramental life of the Church.
Dinner for Eight
A ministry for couples to make and engage with new friends in the parish! Join three other couples for dinner, taking turns hosting. Once everybody has had a chance to serve, join a new group of couples and get to know St. Andrew's while sharing delicious meals.
