The purpose of this retreat is to establish a foundation from which to enter into Partners in the Gospel. We will gather in prayer, focus on the role of the Holy Spirit throughout salvation history, take a brief look at the history of the Archdiocese as well as its current reality, and finalize our own parish priorities arising from our synod experience.
We will spend time exploring how the Holy Spirit has been active in furthering the relationship between God and humanity, as well as the rest of creation.
What does this mean for us today, and as we look to tomorrow?

Silver Rose Prayer Service
2023-05-18 19:00 - 19:45 | St. John the Baptist Catholic Church, 25810 156th Ave SE, Covington, WA, 98042, United States
The journey of the silver rose begins each year in March and ends on Dec. 12, the Feast of Our Lady of Guadalupe. During that time, Silver Roses travel from town to town along eight routes throughout North America. Several of those routes begin in Canada and end in Mexico.
The Silver Rose Program began in 1960, when the first rose – a real, live one – was blessed by a bishop in Ontario. The rose then traveled to New York and then to Texas where it was taken across the border into Mexico. The rose ended its pilgrimage at the Basilica of Our Lady of Guadalupe in Monterrey on Dec. 12, the Feast of Our Lady of Guadalupe. To better ensure future annual trips, a silver rose was ultimately made. Today, due to the popularity of the program throughout the North American continent, eight silver roses travel unique routes.

Flores de Mayo
2023-05-14 10:30 - 12:30 | St. John the Baptist Catholic Church, 25810 156th Ave SE, Covington, WA, 98042, United States
Flores De Mayo is a Filipino religious-historical-cultural tradition which was introduced by the Spanish friars in 1800’s. It is one of the most popular Catholic festivals in the Philippines. It is a Spanish term that means “Flowers of May.” This celebration has been engraved in the hearts and minds of the Filipino Catholics. This event has also become a thanksgiving and celebration by farmers because of the rains brought about at this month. This is a timely event since flowers bloom and crops grow during the month of May. The community would gather in Churches to pray the Rosary and offer flowers to the Blessed Virgin Mary. At the Eucharist, more flowers are usually offered during the Presentation of Gifts.
The highlight of the Flores De Mayo is the “Santacruzan.” This term is derived from two Spanish words “Santa” and “Cruz,” which is translated as Holy Cross. Santacruzan is a grand procession that re-enacts the finding of Holy Cross in 321 A.D. by St. Helena (Reyna Elena) who is the mother of Constantine the Great (Constantino). Constantine was the first Christian Emperor in Rome. During the procession, the community sings songs of praise to the Blessed Virgin Mary on their way to the Church. Coincidentally, the month of May is the celebration of Mother’s Day. It is but fitting and meaningful to be able to celebrate Mother’s Day and Flores de Mayo to honor the Blessed Virgin Mary, the mother of Jesus.
Here at St. John the Baptist Catholic Community, The Filipino-American Association is appreciative to celebrate this Filipino Catholic tradition to the community. We believe that this is an essential element of our faith and worship. It is also a path towards accepting and understanding various cultures.
