Pastor’s Letter
Dear Parishioners,
It was a prayerful celebration as we entered the First Week of the Lenten Season. We thank you for joining us for the Ash
Wednesday celebration. It was a wonderful event for our young at heart’s (Senior’s Mass and luncheon) activity for this
month. We thank you for your support of our Italia Feast Spaghetti Dinner and of the American Heritage Girls at St. John of
the Woods Parish for the cupcake social. We are entering the second week of this repentant season, to pray, to fast, and to do
works of Mercy. We thank you for using the information to assist you with this Lenten Season, such as the reflection from
Archbishop Peter for Lent, the Rice Bowl’s material, and participating with the parish community for prayers.
We thank you for supporting many different projects that we are working on at this time. Especially, the
demolition of the old school building at Sacred Heart’s Church, which is completed. We thank those
workers who are supporting our parish with this project. We had to pay to rent the equipment to do the
work, pay the license and permit fees, and pay for the dumper to remove all the materials. We took
many pictures and we hope to post these up for you to review when we have time to do it. We thank the
Construction Committee and the Fund Raising Committee who worked very hard to raise funds within
the last few years to get this project moving forward. We also hope that we have raised enough funds to build the new building
for the parish activities and ministries.
We are also working on the Meditation Garden at St. John of the Woods Parish. We have a committee member who has spent
the last few years organizing and gathering all the information on what needs to be done. They are raising funds to build a
large Cross and to plant floras around the meditation garden. We hope each phase of this project will be completed, so we can
have a wonderful garden to use and enjoy. We also have checked on the saplings that we had planted around our parish property after we harvested the mature trees. Of all the saplings we had planted, 60% of them are thriving. We will plant more saplings next year to replace those that did not survive. We thank the facility and grounds committee member who took time to
fill in the road (to enter the baseball field and parish hall kitchen) with gravel. The project at St. Ann’s Rectory is progressing,
as new windows are being installed throughout the building to seal the Rectory (preventing the heat from escaping during the
winter time). This will assist us to save the cost of heating for the building during winter. These are a few projects that I need
to report to you so you know what we are working on at this time. You already have received the parish annual Semi-Report
for the last five months of what we have done. We thank you for your continued support to our regional parishes.
We cordially invite you to join with the liturgical ministers from our regional parishes for their retreat this coming Saturday at
St. John of the Woods Parish with Mass and time for reflection by Andrew Casad, the Director of the Liturgy Office from the
Archdiocese of Seattle. He was with us last year for the Lenten retreat and was very helpful to us all. People who attended last
year’s retreat gave him a high recommendation and we wanted to invite him back for this year. You do not want to miss the
opportunity to attend this retreat day. Please organize your time and join us for this special day of retreat, so we can have time
to be with each other and pray for our regional parishes.
We thank you for registering your contribution for the online giving to support our parish with financial support. It is easy for
you to make your contribution to support to the parish and not forget what you want to do. We are living in a society, which is
so hard for us to remember to make a contribution to our home parish and there are many different bills that we have to pay and
God is always coming last. By registering online, we are ensuring God will always come first on our giving to the Lord to support the parish life and ministry. There is information on how to do it on the parish website, parish bulletin or you can call the
parish office so the parish staff can assist you by going through step by step with you on how to complete those forms.
We thank the committee on taking the furniture and items from your home, which you have donated for the Parish Garage Sale.
This is a good event for you to come and see what items you may need, so come and support the parish. Please contact Kathy
Bunger or the committee if you want to buy some items, which is useful for your home so we do not need to store it in our parish facility.
You are cordially invited to join our Faith Community for Daily Mass, celebrate the Sacrament of Reconciliation, meditate
upon the suffering of Christ for the Stations of the Cross on each Friday, pray the Rosary before Mass, pray for the homebound
ministry or join them to visit the sick and the elderly, contribute food for the poor and join us to spend some quiet time in front
of the Blessed Sacrament for Adoration to pray for the Church and family!
Please keep the Elects and Candidates for Full Communion in your prayers. They are with us for these forty days of their journey of Faith and they are preparing themselves to join the Church with the Sacrament of Initiation and Full Communion at the
Easter Vigil. We thank the core team who assists them and to you for praying for them. May the Lord continue to bless upon
us during this Lenten season!
Sincerely Yours in Christ,

Confirmation Names

by Barbara & Clarence Leingang
The custom of adopting a saint’s name at Confirmation was not
found originally in the Early Church but came later. Taking on a
saint’s name at Confirmation was done for a couple of reasons.
1. To adopt the saint as a special heavenly patron. 2. To honor a
saint to whom one had a special devotion. This opportunity
helped the confirmandi to develop his understanding and his
reliance on the Communion of Saints. The practice of selecting a
new name of a patron saint has not been encouraged in some
dioceses. Rather, the tradition of not picking a new name at
confirmation is being promoted. This is based on the idea that
the person (confirmandi) already has a Christian name given to
him/her at Baptism. By using the same name it will serve as a
link between the sacraments of Baptism and Confirmation, the
two sacrament of Christian Initiation. The USCCB in 2000
decreed in the Latin Rite, that Confirmation shall be conferred
between the age of discretion (7 yrs.) and 16 years of age. This
went into effect on July 1, 2002. It should be noted the age can
be changed by a Diocese if there is a grave reason or imminent
death. As a matter of record, at the beginning of World War II,
many of the faithful were confirmed as young as 6 years of age
once they had received their First Communion. The threat of war
pushed this into the realm of “grave reason.”

YEAR OF CONSECRATED LIFE

of Consecrated Life, starting on the
First Sunday of Advent, the weekend of

Consecrated life. The year also marks the 50th anniversary of
Perfectae Caritatis, a decree on religious life, and Lumen Gentium, the Second Vatican Council’s constitution on the Church.

hope.”

What’s new in our church hall?
We have a new dishwasher!
The dishwasher will save a lot of time and will be a more
sanitary way of cleaning. The cost of the dishwasher was
$5,000. These funds came from the Crab Feed ($2,500)
and from the Fall Harvest Festival (2,500). Many thanks to
Jim Raden and Karen Knobbe for designating the funds
from their special events for the dishwasher.
There are special instructions for the use of the dishwasher. The instructions are posted on the dishwasher and
it is imparative that these be followed! The dishwasher has
a water saver. The rinse water will be used for the next
wash load. Make sure that after the last load for the dishwasher the rinse cycle has been completed and the remaining water in the dishwasher must be drained out! Otherwise, we will have the same problem that we had with the
previous dishwasher.
Please enjoy using our new dishwasher but also make
sure you follow the instructions, so we may have our dishwasher for many years to come

Church Regulations Regarding Fast and Abstinence
Abstinence from meat (beast or fowl) is observed by all Catholics 14 years
& older on Ash Wednesday and All Fridays of Lent.
This obligation prohibits the eating of meat, but you can eat eggs, milk products, or
condiments of any kind, even though made with animal fat.
Fasting means: limiting oneself to one full meal on a given fast day. Catholics 18 years of
age but not yet 59 years of age are obliged to fast on Ash Wednesdays and Good Friday.
On fast days 2 small meals are permitted if necessary to maintain strength. However, the
2 small meals together may not equal 1 full meal. Moreover, eating solid foods between
meals on fast days is not permitted.

SIGNS OF THE SESON
MOUNT OF TRANSFIGURATION
The traditional location for the mount
of transfiguration is the Mount Tabor,
about 11 miles west of the Sea of
Galilie.
Mount Tabor rises about 1,800 feet above the level plain
below.
It was identified as the site of the transfiguration as early as
the third century by the theologian Origen.
The Church of the Transfiguration, a Franciscan Church
build on the ruins of a centuries-old Byzantine Church, now
stands at the summit of the mount Tabor
segundo domingo de cuaresma
1 marzo de 2015
Les agradezco por venir el Miércoles de Ceniza esto dio inicio a la primer semana de cuaresma y la hemos iniciado con nuestra celebración eucarística y
de oración, y entramos a la segunda semana de arrepentimiento, oración, ayuno y hacer obras de caridad. Les invito a llevar información que tenemos disponible como por ejemplo el Arzobispo de Seattle ha escrito un libro de reflexiones para la cuaresma, también tenemos una tarjeta morada que es como un
examen de conciencia que se pueden llevar con ustedes, también tenemos la taza de arroz y practicar las obras de caridad junto con nuestras oraciones.
Gracias a todos los que pudieron apoyar la cena en San Juan del Bosque dicho evento era para apoyar al grupo de nanas de la herencia americana de esa
parroquia.
Gracias por apoyar los diferentes proyectos en que estamos trabajando a un mismo tiempo, especialmente la demolición de la antigua escuelita la cual ya
está terminada; gracias a los trabajadores por su tiempo y talento en este proyecto, aun así tuvimos que alquilar la maquinaria para poder hacer este trabajo,
pagar por el permiso, por llevar todo a la basura. Tomamos algunas fotos espero se puedan publicar pronto. Gracias al comité por su arduo trabajo recaudando fondos por dos años para que este proyecto pueda cumplirse. Como también esperamos en Dios y podamos reunir suficientes fondos para construir y
poder tener nuestras reuniones.
Nuevamente les invitamos a los ministros de liturgia al retiro regional que se llevara a cabo en San Juan del Bosque el día 7 de Marzo a las 8:30 am a la
1:30 pm Inicia con Misa y luego reflexionaremos los temas que desarrollara Andrew Casey director de el departamento de Liturgia de la oficina de la Arquidiócesis de Seattle el estuvo con nosotros para el adviento el año pasado y fue de gran ayuda. No se pierdan esta oportunidad, organicen su tiempo para
poder atender así podamos orar juntos.
Les agradezco a los que se han registrado atreves de el internet donando atreves de el internet el llamado “give on line”, gracias por su apoyo financiero a
esta parroquia, pues vivimos en una sociedad donde es muy difícil recordar dar nuestra donación y como en nuestros hogares tenemos la responsabilidad de
pagar nuestras utilidades así también en nuestra parroquia tenemos muchos gastos y solo con la ayuda de ustedes podemos hacerlo, y cuando nos inscribimos atraves del internet para hacer nuestra donación automáticamente lo descuentan del banco en la fecha que ustedes hayan decidido esto es poner a Dios
primero dando nuestra parte a la Iglesia en nuestra vida ministerial. En nuestra página de internet encontraran paso a paso como completar la aplicación, o
puede llamar a la oficina.
Están invitados a participar en nuestra comunidad de fe durante la cuaresma, a las Misas, celebrar el sacramento de la reconciliación, a meditar el camino
de la fe y estar listos en el Sacramento de Iniciación para la vigilia pascual
Que nuestro Señor los continúe bendiciendo en este tiempo de Cuaresma!
s estaciones de la cruz atreves del viacrucis los días viernes a rezar el rosario orar por los enfermos y por el ministerio que visita a los enfermos y los ancianos, a contribuir con los pobres y a pasar un momento en silencio frente al santísimo sacramento orando por sus familias y la Iglesia en general; como también en llevar a ustedes en sus oraciones a los que han elegido aceptar los sacramento de nuestra Iglesia, ellos estarán con nosotros por 40 días preparándose en el Sacramento de Iniciacion para la vifgilia pascual. Que nuestro Dios continue bendiciendoles durante la cuaresma!Atentamente, de Cristo,
Fr. Tuan Nguyen D. Min.

CUATRO ULTIMAS COSAS
San Alfonso Liguori recomienda que
debemos contemplar cuatro cosas especialmente durante la cuaresma estas son:
La muerte, el Juicio, - El cielo y el
infierno
Hablar de esto con los ninos puede ser dificil, los padres
pueden aprovechar la epoca de cuaresma para introducer este
tema, el tema que se debe enfatizar es EL CIELO como
decia el papa Juan Pablo II no es abstracto ni fisico el lugar
en las nubes pero tiene vida, la relacion personal con la santisima Trinidad, entonces el cielo es vivir eternamente en la
presencia y en amistad con nuestro Dios amado.
