The Lord awaits you here!

At St. John Bosco, as part of the Lakewood Catholic Parish Family, we share a deep bond with our sister parish, St. Frances Cabrini, united in our mission to live the Gospel, celebrate the sacraments, and serve one another with love.

You will find a vibrant and welcoming community committed to prayer, fellowship, and service here. We warmly invite you to spend time in quiet prayer before the Tabernacle, where Christ is truly present — a sacred space for reflection, peace, and encounter with the Lord.

Come join us as we walk together in faith and discipleship.

Upcoming Events

Annual Catholic Appeal 2026

Together in Faith

Each April, our parish family joins the Annual Catholic Appeal (ACA) of the Archdiocese of Seattle, an opportunity for us to support the wider Church and the many ministries that serve our brothers and sisters across Western Washington.

Through the ACA, we help sustain essential ministries such as: hospital and healthcare outreach, prison ministry, support for immigrants and refugees, multicultural ministries, seminarian formation, faith formation, and programs for youth and young adults. These are ministries that extend beyond what any one parish can do on its own, yet directly strengthen and support the life of our own parish community. As a parish family, we also benefit when we exceed our ACA goal, as any overage is returned to us to support important parish projects.
