Pastor’s Letter
Dear Parishioners:
We are in the Fourth Week of the Lenten Season. We thank you for participating in the
journey of Faith with the Elects and Candidates toward the Baptism Font at the Easter Vigil
celebration. They are with us for prayers and support. We thank you for your support and
for making them feel welcome among us. They were so happy to meet with the
Archbishop who took time to welcome them at the Rite of Election. We thank the RCIA
and RCIC core teams for assisting them each week of their journey of Faith. We also thank
the catechist and parents of students in the CCD program for assisting them with the Children’s Mass a few weekends ago. We
are celebrating the Sacrament of Reconciliation with the CCD students at this time. We cordially invite parents to participate in
receiving this sacrament with their children. I like to thank the students and parents who came and met with me for an interview
about their preparation of the sacrament that they will receive. I also thank the teachers for providing me with information about
their students, so I am able to learn from them before I meet with them and their parents. I am very proud of the teachers in the
Faith Formation program who assist us in teaching different Faith Formation programs. They are practicing their Faith by
preaching it and they are being a good example of what they teach to their students.
We congratulate the Vietnamese Youth Group at St. Ann’s Church for the successful night that they had organized to praise and
worship the Lord during Lent through songs and music last Saturday night. I could not believe that the young people in our parishes have so many talents and gifts that they shared with the community and they are evangelizing God’s words in different
ways to bring us together. There are many people who came to this event. They were singing religious songs and sharing with
us the Faith of Christ, calling people to follow the footsteps of Christ who is the foundation of life. Thank you for your support
of the youth for this event. We thank the youth leadership for their retreat; we also thank the Missionary of the Word workers
for organizing the retreat for the Spanish speaking community for this weekend. We thank the leaderships of our regional parishes for allowing different ethnics groups to have their retreat in their own languages during this Lenten Season. The Vietnamese community has their retreat, the Samoan community also has theirs and the Spanish speaking community has a few different
retreats for their groups. At their retreat, they also celebrate the Sacrament of Reconciliation to prepare themselves to celebrate
Easter.
We celebrate the Sacrament of Anointing at different Weekend Masses and you are cordially invited to receive this sacrament
when you are sick, please call the parish office or call a priest directly in an emergency. We thank the Homebound Ministry for
bringing Communion to those who are not able to come to the Church. There is joy for those who are able to bring the Body of
Christ to those who are homebound. So, we are encouraging you to inform us and support this ministry within our regional parishes. We thank the children who collected food to give to the poor and those students who collected socks to give to the third
world country. There is the Rice Bowl program for you to participate in to support the ministry of charity to bring peace and
comfort to those who need us to support them. The Church calls us to respond and be charitable to those who are in need of
support, which is a part of the Lenten calling to overcome the issue of poverty among us. Therefore, we need to join with each
other and be Christ’s hands to heal and support them.
There are three projects we are working in our regional parishes: 1) the meditation garden at St. John of the Woods’ Church,
which is behind the parish office and between the Church and parish hall and religious education building. The meditation garden will be a beautiful place for our parish and be a place of peace and to gather around to pray at the Holy Week, bless animals
on the feast day of St. Francis and to have Mass outdoor; 2) the demolition of the old school building at Sacred Heart’s Church
and within the last few weeks, we have had many different meetings with the parish leadership and the architect to plan on
building the new building to accommodate the parish ministries and activities. We thank you for your continuing support of the
work that we are doing; and 3) the project at St. Ann’s Rectory with the installation of new windows to save the cost of heating
in winter and cooling in summer. We thank the parish staff and volunteers who attended the Annual Catholic Appeal training, so
we can be ready for this campaign. We thank the parish leadership for coming to the monthly meeting to review the goal that
we have set for the year and to review the long-range plan that we have.
You are cordially invited to participate in the parish life with different activities that we have each week. You are always invited to join us on the journey of prayers. We have many people who come to daily Mass, Stations of the Cross, and to receive
the Sacrament of Reconciliation during these forty days of Lent.
We congratulate those who celebrate their birthday, and those who celebrate their anniversary of marriage and religious vows.
May the Lord continue to bless upon you and bless upon your vocation! We will welcome some seminarians to our parishes for
Holy Week celebration. We also received the application from seminarians who wanted to stay in the rectory for summer
school. I will inform you of their names so you can welcome them. Please pray for those who are consecrating their life to God
and to serve us. May you have a great week!

Exposition of the Blessed Sacrament
(In Church Only)
Eucharistic Vessels by Barbara & Clarence Leingang
ST. ANN:
8:30am - 7:00pm Thursdays
5pm - 7pm Tuesdays Divine Mercy & Mass (Samoan Comm.)
7:00pm Fridays Mass (Vietnamese Language)
The Eucharistic vessels used in the Mass are very specific and are
governed by rules found in the GIRM General Instructions of the
Roman Missal). The Sacred Vessels hold a special place of honor
especially the chalice and paten which are used in presenting, consecrating, and receiving the bread and wine. The Chalice is a cup
of precious metal that holds the wine consecrated at Mass. The
inside must be gold or gold plated. The Paten is a small plate of
precious metal that holds the Sacred Host. It typically holds the
priest’s Host both before and after Communion. The Ciborium is
a large cup of precious metal with a cover of the same material. It
holds the reserved hosts consecrated for distribution to the Faithful in Holy Communion. The Purificator is a small linen cloth
used by the priest to dry his fingers and the chalice, when he has
washed and purified them after Communion. The Pyx is a small
container used to bring Communion to the sick. The Corporal is
the linen cloth spread on the altar at the beginning of Mass. The
Chalice and Host rest upon this cloth. The Pall is a small square
of stiffened linen, or cardboard covered with linen, used to cover
the chalice. Great care is to be taken in purifying the chalice and
the paten especially if any particles of the consecrated elements
adhere to the vessel(s) or fingers of the celebrant. There is a classification of vessels that serve as receptacles for the Eucharistic
bread and they could be made of other material that is prized
within the region. For example: ebony or other hard woods as
long as they are suited to sacred use. The form of the vessels must
be appropriate for the liturgical use for which they are meant.
Before being used, chalices and patens must be blessed by the
priest or bishop. Reference: St Joseph Missal, Catholic Answer

this fun and easy resource to deepen your family’s Lenten experience
and make a difference in the lives of the poor.

Prayer of the Faithful ~ March 15, 2015
For each person suffering from the loss of a child through abortion:may Christ console them in their grief and fill their heart
with peace & hope;We pray to the Lord:Respect Life“Lord, you
are good and forgiving, most merciful to all who call on
you. LORD, hear my prayer; listen to my cry for help. On the
day of my distress I call to you, for you will answer me.” ~
Psalm 86:5-740 DAYS FOR LIFE ~ We’re at the halfway
point of this campaign – and so far, at Day 20 we have reports
of 181 babies (and their moms) saved from abortion! Praise
God for these children being alive today – and these are just the
ones local volunteers know about. If you haven't been out to
pray yet, please come pray. It is life giving. This campaign
goes through March 29 from 8 AM to 4 PM daily. Join in
Prayer and Fasting for an end to abortion wherever you are ... at
home, church, or on the street as we stand for life at a Peaceful
Vigil outside Cedar River (abortion) Clinic: 1401-A Martin
Luther King Jr Way, Tacoma, WA 98405
Next steps for Deacon Formation
in the Archdiocese of Seattle
A plan to form new permanent Deacons on October 1,
2014, Archbishop Sartain announced that the Archdiocese of Seattle would begin preparations to form new
Deacons to serve the parishes and ministries of the Archdiocese of
Seattle. During the coming months, Archbishop Sartain encourages
Pastors and pastoral Coordinators to consider who they might recommend as candidates. He also encourages those who are curious about
whether they might be called to the diaconate to begin a process of
prayer and discernment about how they might best serve the Church.
March 19: St. Joseph (Solemnity)
You are invited to 8:00 a.m Mass at St. Ann
St. Joseph is a great saint. He was Jesus' foster-father and
Mary's husband. Joseph was given the great privilege of taking care of God's own Son, Jesus, and his Mother, Mary.
Joseph was poor all his life. He had to work very hard in his
carpenter shop, but he did not mind. He was happy to work for his little family. He loved Jesus and Mary so much.
Whatever the Lord wanted him to do, St. Joseph did at once, no matter how
difficult it was. He was humble and pure, gentle and wise. Jesus and Mary
loved him and obeyed him because God had placed him as the head of their
family. What a joy for St. Joseph to live with the Son of God himself. Jesus
obeyed him, helped him, and loved him.
We pray to St. Joseph as the protector of the dying for a special reason. It is
believed that Joseph died peacefully in the arms of Jesus and Mary.
St. Teresa of Avila chose St. Joseph as the protector of her order of Carmelite
sisters. "Every time I ask St. Joseph for something," she said, "he always
obtains it for me." Pope Pius IX proclaimed St. Joseph the patron of the Universal Church.

Chrism Mass
You are invited to attend the Chrism Mass scheduled for
Thursday, March 25th, at 7:30 p.m. at St. James Cathedral. This
is one of the most significant liturgies of the year in the Archdiocese. Hoping you can adjust your schedules in order to celebrate
this Mass.
Thank you St. JOW Core Team for hosting the regional liturgy retreat last Saturday, March 7 th. This was the
fourth time retreat for our regional parishes. Thank God it went very well. Thank you very much for your
participation. Thank you our priests for the special opening Mass. Thank you Dr. Andrew Casad for giving a wonderful presentation. Thank you those helping us with lunch and setting up the tables, chairs and the hospitable environment.
Especially thank you all who came for the retreat. We hope you have learned something through the topic “Meeting Christ at
Mass”. Hope all ministers gain knowledge and put it into practice.

I feel the pace quicken, the
time draw near.
I am filled with joy as I move
toward Easter and the promised
reconciliation with you.
Teach me to follow the example of your Son, to be worthy
of being called one his people: a Christian. Help

Stewardship Corner
Here it is about the middle of March and I’m finally able to write an article about
the Italia Fest!
Many thanks to Sharon and John Murphy for coming forward and taking the responsibility for putting on the Italia Fest. It was a big undertaking but they came
through with flying colors. Sharon is already talking about some changes they will be
making for the next years event! So glad they are planning to take it on again next
year.
Our raffle prize winners $500 Tina Leon Cruz , $100 Kim Richardson, $50 Bonita
Berrens, $50 Sally Swanson, and $50 Ralph & Lynn Sneed. After all the expenses
($3,607) the profit was $1993.02 Good Job! These funds were not designated for
special purpose so they will go into the General Fund for needs around the parish.
It was a “great “ event as it brought many newcomers to us as volunteers. Sharon
remarked how great the volunteers were and she had so many that they could take
breaks and have others available to fill in. It was wonderful to see new faces among
the regulars!
It was a very complementary event and it brought many families and friends together for a heart felt time. Thanks to all the “great” volunteers as well as Sharon
and John for volunteering their: Time—Talent—Treasure.

cuarto domingo de cuaresma
15 marzo de 2015
Nos encontramos ya en la cuarta semana de cuaresma, gracias por participar en la jornada de fe con los candidatos a recibir el Bautismo por primera vez en
la celebración de la Vigilia Pascual ellos necesitan de nuestras oraciones y nuestro apoyo; gracias por hacerlos sentir bienvenidos entre nosotros. Ellos
están felices de haber conocido el Señor Arzobispo pues el dedico tiempo para darles la bienvenida en el rito de elección. Agradecemos a los coordinadores del programa de RICA y de RCIC por la ayuda que han ofrecido cada semana para esta preparación de fe. También agradezco a las catequistas por su
dedicación con los niños de la preparación para la primera comunión y también ayudando con las Misas para los niños. Gracias a los estudiantes y padres
de familia que han venido a buscarme para alguna entrevista referente a la preparación de sus sacramentos que están por recibir; así como también a los
maestros por proveerme la información necesaria antes de las entrevistas esto me da la oportunidad de aprender un poco sobre ellos.
Felicito a los Misioneros Servidores de la Palabra por organizar un retiro el próximo fin de Semana, me alegra mucho ver las diferentes actividades parroquiales con los diferentes grupos étnicos y poder ver cuanta vida dan a la parroquia durante esta cuaresma.
Celebramos el sacramento de la unción de los enfermos en fin de semana cuando el mes trae cinco semanas, están invitados a recibir este sacramento si se
encuentran enfermos en peligro de muerte, o puede llamar a la oficina en caso de emergencia. Agradezco al ministerio que se dedica a visitar a los enfermos y les puede llevar la comunión pues es un gozo para ellos poder recibir el Cuerpo de Cristo
Por eso les pido que apoyen este ministerio.
Durante la Cuaresma les pedimos ayudar en la campana “taza de arroz”, como Cristianos Católicos estamos llamados a practicar la caridad especialmente
en esta época de Cuaresma.
Tenemos tres proyectos en las tres parroquias: 1- un jardín de meditación en San Juan Bosque el cual estará localizado en la parte de atrás de la oficina y el
salón parroquial y entre el edificio de educación religiosa, será un lugar especial para meditar y reunirse para orar durante la semana Santa, bendecir animales en la festividad de San Francisco de y tener Misa afuera, hemos hablado con el arquitecto de poder acomodar las actividades de los ministerios parroquiales. 2- La demolición de la Escuela de Sagrado Corazón hemos tenido diferentes reuniones con el Arquitecto para ver los planes del nuevo edificio que
esperamos se pueda acomodar a nuestras necesidades. Gracias por la ayuda y por todo el trabajo que hacen. 3- En Santa Ana tenemos la instalación de
nuevas ventanas en las instalaciones de la oficina, así poder ahorrar los costos de la calefacción.
Agradezco a los que asistieron al entrenamiento de la Petición Católica Anual. Gracias a los líderes de los diferentes grupos por participar en las reuniones
mensuales, nos da la oportunidad de revisar nuestras metas que nos comprometimos hace un tiempo y revisar el plan a largo plazo Visión 2017.
Están invitados a participar en la vida parroquial en los diferentes grupos y actividades durante la semana, como también unirse en oración con nosotros.
Me alegra ver que ha crecido la asistencia a las Misas durante la semana, los rosarios, viacrucis, y a recibir el sacramento de la reconciliación durante esta
cuaresma.
Felicitamos a los cumpleañeros, los que celebraron su aniversario de bodas, que nuestro Señor los bendiga y bendiga su vocación!
Damos la bienvenida a los seminaristas que estarán con nosotros durante la semana Santa, y hemos recibido solicitud de algunos seminaristas para venir
durante el verano, mas adelante les compartiré sus nombres, para que los hagan sentir bienvenidos.
Por favor oren por los que están consagrando sus vidas a Dios y para servirnos a nosotros.
Que tengan una buena semana!
Atentamente suyos en Cristo,
Fr. Tuan Nguyen, D. Min
