For 20 years, the Agape Service Project, a ministry of the Seattle Archdiocese, has fostered service, community and prayer as participants encounter Christ and uphold the dignity of our farmworker brothers and sisters in Whatcom County. St. John is once again partnering with this great program by offering three service days for St. John families. Please sign up for Service Days below (detailed information on what to expect when you join the Agape Project can also be found on the sign-up).
