this week bulletin.

Pastor’s Letter
Dear Parishioners,
We are entering Holy Week, which commence with the celebration of Palm Sunday or Passion Sunday.
We thank the liturgical ministers within our regional parishes for taking time to prepare for the celebration
of Holy Week. We have the retreat with the Elects and Candidates for Full Communion this Saturday.
We thank the RCIA (Rite of Christian Initiation of Adult) and RCIC (Rite of Christian Initiation of Chil
dren) core team and all the Priests for being there for them. It is a joy for us to be with the Elects and Candidates on their journey of Faith. We thank you for your support and prayers for them.
We thank you for taking time to be at the retreat last week with your groups. We had many different retreats for many different
ministries and organizations within our parishes. It is a prayerful time for us to take some time from our busy lives to be with
each other for prayers and to listen to the speakers to deepen our Faith.
We invite you to bring the Rice Bowl box back to the parish, so we can send it to the Ministry of the Poor. Your work of charity is important for the Lenten Season. The Rice Bowl campaign also supports the local program like St. Vincent De Paul and
other ministries of the parish (we have to send in an application to obtain a grant to be able to offer this service). We thank you
for being charitable and for supporting those who are poor among us.
You may have already seen the beautiful Meditation Garden at St. John of the Woods Parish. It is so beautiful and we thank
the committee who worked on it and we thank supporters from St. John of the Woods Parish. We have asked the teacher from
the religious education program to explain to the students so they can understand the importance of the garden. It is a garden
where they can come to pray and to meditate and is not a playground for them to play in. We are working on building a new
building at Sacred Heart’s Church. We have completed the demolition project and we are in the process of having the parish
leadership meet with the architecture to design the new building and to work with the Fund Raising Committee, and we will
need to present this project to the Property and Financial Committee of the Archdiocese for approval of a loan and other steps
of the project that we need to go through. We thank the parish leadership and many of you who are involved with the planning
at Sacred Heart’s Church. We are also working on the project of installing the rectory’s windows at St. Ann’s Catholic
Church. This project will take a lot of time, because each window needs to be manufactured according to its own measurements before we can install it.
Our Churches’ buildings are aging and needs a lot of care. We ask you when you use our Church’s building to take care of
them as you would your own home and if you are able to make some contribution to assist with the maintenance of them,
please assist us. We are very happy to witness our regional parishes able to host many different activities and bringing more
people into our Faith Community. We cordially invite you to participate in the Holy Week celebration. We have posted the
time for the services at each Church so you are able to join us. We will join with the Archdiocese of Seattle to celebrate the
Vigil Service and welcome more than 700 new members who will join us at the Easter Vigil.
We congratulate Eugene Otis from St. John of the Woods’ Church who received an award in Washington D.C. for his service
in WWII. We are very thankful to God and to Eugene for his service to our country. We thank you for your support of the
Crab Feast at St. John of the Woods’ Church last Saturday.
It was a wonderful and prayerful celebration for Chrism Mass at St. James’ Cathedral last Wednesday night. We gathered
around the Archbishop for this Mass, so we can renew our promise to the Church (our role as a priest), to pray with the
Archbishop and to witness him bless the different oils for us to use throughout the year. The Oil of Chrism is for anointing the
Priest on his ordination and to anoint the altar of the Church on the dedication of the Church. This Oil is used for the Sacrament of Baptism. The Oil for the Catechumen and Exorcism is to anoint those who are in the process of the preparation of the
sacraments. The Oil of the Sick is used for anointing the sick for healing. These oils will be presented at the beginning of our
Holy Thursday celebration.
There are many things we have been called to do to assist our parishes. You are cordially invited to join the parish leadership
team. We are in need of more new members on the Pastoral, Financial, Commissions, Committees, and Groups in different
ministries of the parish. Your assistance is important to our parish’s ministry. We met with the youth group’s leadership at St.
Ann’s Church to plan for the Youth Mass.
We thank you for your participation in the 24 hours of Adoration of the Blessed Sacrament on March 13th and 14th. We thank
Louis who organized this event for us. We congratulate all the students who received the Sacrament of First Reconciliation
during these Forty Days of Lent.
The Holy Week celebration is very important for our Faith. You are cordially invited to join us at the Easter Vigil and Easter
Sunday Masses to welcome all the new members who have joined our parishes. Please keep the liturgical ministers in your
prayers for this week. May the Lord continue to bless upon you and your family!
Sincerely Yours in Christ,

Our Treasured Tradition . . .
Exposition of the Blessed Sacrament
(In Church Only)
The Alleluia 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)
During Lent there are three changes in the Church Liturgies from
the rest of the Liturgical year. No Gloria is sung or said during
Mass, the vestments are purple, and there is no Alleluia before the
Gospel acclamation. The word Alleluia comes from the Hebrew
language and means “praise God or Yahweh.” It is a term of Joy
and references the joy of the Angels singing around the throne of
God in Heaven. Using the Alleluia during Mass is a way of participating with the Angels as they worship God. We are also reminded that the Kingdom of God is already established on earth
in the form of the Church. During Lent we are on a spiritual journey as we await the coming of the Kingdom. When Easter
comes, the Alleluia is sung three times with great joy. The GIRM
(General Instruction of the Roman Missal) does not prescribe a
substitute for the Alleluia before the Gospel during the season of
Lent. However, the Graduale Romanum which is the official
Liturgy book contains all chants proper to the Mass. The Graduale allows or permits another psalm or tract to be used during
Lent. The most familiar one comes from Philippians 1:11
“Glory and Praise to you, Lord Jesus Christ.” Even though the
Alleluia is omitted during Lent, we are encouraged to say it during our “own time.”

Question: "What is Palm Sunday?"
Answer: Palm Sunday is the day we remember the "triumphal entry" of Jesus into Jerusalem, exactly one week
before His resurrection (Matthew 21:1-11). Some 450-500 years earlier, the Prophet Zechariah had prophesied,
"Rejoice greatly, O daughter of Zion! Shout, O daughter of Jerusalem! Behold, your King is coming to you; He is
just and having salvation, Lowly and riding on a donkey, A colt, the foal of a donkey” (Zechariah 9:9). Matthew
21:7-9 records the fulfillment of that prophecy: "They brought the donkey and the colt, laid their clothes on them,
and set Him on them. And a very great multitude spread their clothes on the road; others cut down branches from the trees and spread them
on the road. Then the multitudes who went before and those who followed cried out, saying: ‘Hosanna to the Son of David! Blessed is He
who comes in the name of the LORD!’ Hosanna in the highest!’” This event took place on the Sunday before Jesus' crucifixion.

Holy Week Schedule
Holy Week
Loving God, I am just
beginning to realize how
much you love me.
Your son, Jesus was humble and obedient.
He fulfilled your will for him by becoming
human and suffering with us.
I ask you for the desire to become more
humble so that my own life might also bear
witness to you.
I want to use the small sufferings I have in
this world to give you glory.
Please, Lord, guide my mind with your
truth. Strengthen my life by the example of
Jesus. Help me to be with Jesus in this
week as he demonstrates again his total love
for me. He died so that I would no longer
be separated from you. Help me to feel how
close you are and to live in union with you.
Happy Birthday!

Stewardship Corner
Have you seen the “Ground Breaking” for our new Meditation Garden? The
work began about a month ago with pouring of cement for a base of the cross
and planting of five Leyland Cypress trees. The Cross is now in place with
gravel and rocks placed around the base. The construction of the Meditation
Garden is coming along nicely after the delay in getting approval. Just this
past week 12 arborvitae trees were planted. Eventually, the trees will provide
privacy and quiet for those who wish to use the garden for meditation.
Many thanks to the men who constructed the cross and did marvelous work. Also for donating
the rock at the base of the cross and the larger rocks that will grace the entrance of the garden.
Thankfully the cross is now in place for Good Friday outside Station of the Cross. The cross is
located under the trees behind the parish rectory/ office. There are many more things to be done
for the Medication Garden. This will be an ongoing project and the parishioners involved with
this project would appreciate the support of our parish to help this garden along the way to completion with ideas and financial assistance. Funds can be donated by placing them in an envelope
mark it “Meditation Garden” and put it in the collection at Mass.
To share your ideas contact: Pat Kowalchuk or Jan Rogers. We would like to acknowledge a
donation that was received anonymously, and thank you so much for your generous gift.
Please take a moment of your time to see for yourself how beautifully the Meditation Garden is
coming along!

Pilgrimage to see Pope Francis at the
World Meeting of Families
Pope Francis is coming to the United
States in September! The Archdiocese
of Seattle is organizing a pilgrimage to
the World Meeting of Families (WMF)
in Philadelphia. Held every three years,
the World Meeting of Families is the
world's largest Catholic gathering of
families. The WMF 2015, "Love is Our
Mission," includes the Congress (Sept.
22-25) and weekend events including a
Mass with Pope Francis (Sept. 26-27).
The Congress has two tracks:
The Adult Congress offers inspiring speakers such as
Fr. Robert Barron, Carl Anderson,
Professor Helen Alvaré,
Dr. Scott Hahn,
Damon Owens, and
Dr. Gianna Emanuela Molla
(daughter of St. Gianna Beretta
Molla).
The Youth Congress (ages 6-17)
is an interactive program where
young people can build, create,
play, listen, serve, and embrace the
mission of love that brings families
fully alive. Daycare will also be
available.
As an added bonus, the pilgrimage features a Mass and dinner with
Archbishop Sartain in Philadelphia.

DOMINGO DE RAMOS
29 DE MARZO DE 2015
Queridos Feligreses:
Estamos entrando en la celebración de la Semana Santa, Iniciando con el Domingo de Ramos; agradezco a los ministros litúrgicos de las tres parroquias por
ofrecer el tiempo en toda la preparación de esta semana Santa. El pasado sábado tendremos el retiro de los candidatos para recibir sus sacramentos, agradezco al de Iniciación Cristiana para adultos y niños y a sus maestros por toda la ayuda que les dan. Es un gozo para nosotros el poder ser parte de este
maravilloso proceso de Jornada de Fe, gracias también por ponerlos en sus oraciones.
Les invito una vez más a participar en las Misas de Semana Santa, hemos puesto los diferentes horarios de las tres parroquias en el boletín, también nos
unimos con la Arquidiócesis de Seattle a la celebración de la vigilia pascual a recibir más de 700 miembros nuevos que estarán en la vigilia pascual
Hemos tenido diferentes retiros en estos días, en nuestra vida muy ocupada es un llamado para nosotros de detenernos por unos momentos y escuchar el
llamado profundo de nuestra fe y hacer un espacio a la oración.
Probablemente alguno de ustedes ya han visto el jardín de meditación en San Juan del Bosque, si no lo ha hecho los invito a que se den una vueltecita para
que se den cuenta.
Se ha completado la demolición del edificio de la escuela y estamos en el proceso de reunirnos con el arquitecto y el grupo líder de este proyecto para el
diseño del nuevo edificio para presentarlo al comité financiero de la Arquidiócesis de Seattle y esperar la aprobación del préstamo y otros procesos que hay
que seguir. Agradezco al comité de recaudación de fondos y a otros que han aportado su granito de arena por toda la ayuda que nos han brindado a la parroquia. Por otro lado nuestros edificios es tan envejeciendo y necesitan de algunas reparaciones y ponerles más atención con respecto al mantenimiento por
eso les pido mucho de su ayuda.
La Misa Crismal en La Catedral de St. James el Miércoles pasado fue maravillosa experiencia de oración nos reunimos alrededor del altar con el Señor
Arzobispo para celebrar la Santa Misa, y así renovamos nuestros votos con la Iglesia, oramos con el Arzobispo y fuimos testigos de la bendición de los
diferentes aceites que usamos durante todo el año. El aceite de Crisma es para ungir a los sacerdotes en su ordenación y bendecir el altar en el día de la
dedicación a la Iglesia. El aceite de los catecúmenos y exorcismo es para ungir a los que se preparan para recibir los sacramentos, como para los bautismos.
El aceite de los enfermos es usado para ungir a los enfermos. Estos aceites se presentaran el jueves Santo
Agradezco por su participación en las 24 horas de adoración al Santísimo Sacramento el pasado 13-14 de Marzo.
Hay muchas formas en las que somos llamados a servir en nuestra Iglesia, por eso les invito a participar en los diferentes ministerios y grupos que ya tenemos en nuestra parroquia, necesitamos más miembros en el consejo pastoral como en el consejo financiero, y en los diferentes comisiones, tu ayuda es muy
importante.
La Semana Santa es muy importante en nuestra fe, les invito nuevamente a participar en las diferentes Misas durante la semana y en la vigilia pascual, y
Domingo de Resurrección dar la bienvenida a los nuevos miembros que se unen a nuestra comunidad de fe. Por favor pongan en sus oraciones a todos los
ministros de liturgia, y que nuestro Señor continúe bendiciéndoles como también a sus familias.
Atentamente de ustedes en Cristo,
Atentamente de Ustedes,
Fr. Tuan Nguyen, D. Min
