Pastor’s Letter
Dear Parishioners:
We congratulate all candidates and catechumens who have joined the Rite of Christian
Initiation for Adult (RCIA) program this year. We had the Rite of accepting them into the
program (RCIA) last Sunday on the Feast of the Epiphany of the Lord. We also thank
you for praying and supporting those families who are mourning for their loved ones who
have passed away during the holiday season. It is very hard for these families and your
prayers for them are very important (this is what our Faith Community can do to give
them a little support). We had three Funeral Services last week after New Year’s Day.
We welcome students from the Faith Formation back to their programs and we are ready
for the Confirmation program at this time. We made an announcement at each Mass and
the registration form is at the back of the Church and at the parish office. We thank
Fathers Laga and Juan Carlos with the core team who are assisting us with this year’s program.
We thank you for taking time to celebrate the Christmas Season by coming to daily Masses and to celebrate New Year’s Eve and
Day with us and all different feasts day during this season. We join with the Universal Church to celebrate the Baptism of Our
Lord this weekend and this marks the conclusion of the Christmas Season. We thank you for taking time to assist us with
decorations for this season and we thank you for taking down all the decorations this weekend. Our regional parishes had
beautiful decorations for all the Churches and it takes a lot of time to decorate and to take them down.
We welcome the Missionary Worker from the Missionary of the Words religious order, who is back to assist Sacred Heart Parish
for this New Year. We also welcome back Sister Mary Vu, who was away (for the Christmas break) visiting her mom and her
sister in Houston, Texas. Father Juan Carlos left after the Feast of Holy Family (Sunday) to visit his family in Peru and he will
return in February. Please keep him and his family in your prayers. We thank Fathers Richard Gallagher and Paul, who are
assisting us while Father Juan Carlos is away.
We deeply appreciate your financial support during the Christmas Season to support our parishes during the winter. It is hard for
us with all the bills for the heating of all the buildings and all the extra expenses during the Holiday. We restored the dishwasher
at the parish hall of St. John of the Woods’ Church. We had an inspection of the furnace system in the Church to check all the
vaults and replaced those that do not work. We thank you for your continuing support in keeping all the doors closed and turning
off all the lights, and heating after you have finished using the facility for various activities.
We thank the liturgical ministers for assisting us with many different liturgies that we had. We thank the choir members who
came to assist us with different Masses for Christmas, New Year and all the Holy Day of Obligation celebrations. We thank all
the Priests, Deacon, and volunteers who assisted us with liturgy and worship. It was a joy for me to celebrate Mass with the
Latino community at Sacred Heart’s Church for New Year’s Eve. We have four different languages we use regularly each week
to serve our parishioners within our regional parishes. We have Masses in English, Samoan, Spanish, and Vietnamese and other
languages when it is needed. We thank you for your continuing support so we are able to evangelize the Gospel in different
languages and reach out to different cultures who live in our regional parishes. We thank the leadership from different groups for
working with each other and coordinating the use of the facility; and for treating each other with respect and care, which makes
me very happy to see the parish fulfilling the mission that we all hope for. We thank the implementation core team who assist us
with publishing the information on the Member Engagement (ME25) survey composing of 25 questions (for the Gallup’s study)
about our regional parishes and their recommendation within the last few months in the bulletin. We are very pleased with the
information that we are sharing with you. We also thank the core team for working with the different ministries of the parish for
their quarterly report on what they are doing.
We thank you for your commitment to the stewardship/sacrificial giving to assist the parish. We also thank you for your end of
the year giving (you made for the end of 2014) to support our parishes. You are cordially invited to volunteer to support the
parish with your time and talent for this New Year. We started 2015 with much hope and expectation to have different programs
to assist those in need. Your time and your talent are important to make it happen. When you are giving what you have to serve
God’s people, you will always find joy, peace and happiness in what you have given. The parishes need your help and you will
find a true home where you can fully participate in the areas you are interested in and also feel more at home with others.
We thank the parish leadership from each parish for coming back to their regular monthly meeting. I hope that you are reading
their meeting minutes that they have posted at the back of the church or on the parish website. I will summarize the important
project or the point that we are discussing from different meetings to share with you on my bulletin letter.
Again, Happy New Year to you and to your family! May we have a New Year with Peace, Love, Hope and Happiness
throughout the year!
Sincerely Yours in Christ,

Archdiocesan Priesthood
The Catechism of the Catholic Church teaches in depth about
social issues as they pertain to the Church and her members. The
Glossary of the Catechism defines these social issues in three
perspectives. Catholics should take time to study the Catechism
and learn from it. 1. Social Justice: The respect for the human
person and the rights which flow from human dignity and guarantee it. Society must provide the conditions that allow people to
obtain what is their due, according to their nature and vocation.
(CCC1928, 1931) 2. Social sin: “ The effect of sin over time can
affect society and its institutions to create “structures of sin”
known as “social sin.” (CCC1869) 3. Social teaching: The
teaching or social doctrine of the Church on the truth of revelation concerning human dignity, human solidarity, and the principles of justice and peace; this includes the moral judgments about
economic and social matters. (CCC2419-2422) The Church has
received from the gospel the full revelation of the truth about
man. Therefore the Church teaches man about the demands of
justice and peace that conforms to what God has revealed. It
should be noted that the social doctrine of the Church was not
truly developed until the 19th century when the modern industrial
society was “born.” The development of the doctrine on economic and social matters by the Church fulfilled the true meaning of
Her Tradition. The Church’s social teachings provide criteria for
judgment, reflection, and guidelines for action.

Year of Consecrated Life
October 1, 2014 (www.usccb.org)
“Our brothers and sisters in Christ living consecrated lives make great contributions to our society through a
vast number of ministries,” said Archbishop Joseph E. Kurtz of
Louisville, Kentucky, president of USCCB. “They teach in our
schools, take care of the poor and the sick and bring compassion
and the love of Christ to those shunned by society; others lead
lives of prayer in contemplation for the world.”

Mission Statement: We, parishioners of St Ann Parish, are a Catholic faith community in the south end of Tacoma who
proclaim the Gospels and embrace our many cultures and the gifts we share. We come together as one faith community to
celebrate the Eucharist and the Sacraments. We are grateful to those who built this place of worship with faith, sacrifice and
sanctified it with their many years of devotion. We remain focused on our Roman Catholic traditions and promote an
environment of hope, where all can grow into the likeness of Christ.

Stewardship In Our Parish
Facilities
Recently we’ve had to make some
maintenance investments in our church
heating system.
In November we had to add some air vents on the air
handler for the north side of the church. We needed
to do this because the heat was not working on the
north side of the church due to its being vapor
locked. This cost us approximately $2,000.00.
Also in November, we had to replace the fill valve for
the boiler in the church so that the boiler would not
operate dry and an air valve in the school to stop a
water leak, These two items cost us $1,700.00. We
now need to repair the compression tank for the
church boiler, and replace a shut off valve for the
compression tank.
This will cost us another
$2,700.00 plus tax.
As you can see, it is very expensive to maintain our
facilities as this is just a few examples of our
costs. Thank you for your continuing support of our
parish and its facilities.
December 21st— $5,655.00

Stewardship corner
Well , here we are another year has
come to a close, but before we close
2014 totally I would like to thank Fr.
Tuan, Sr. Mary, Sr. Theresa, Dixie
Knoll and Tyla Halmrast-Bourne for
hosting the Christmas Party at Sacred
Heart parish for the homebound parishioners. Also the Eucharist ministries who visit the homebound were
also invited to attend.
It was a wonderful gathering, Dixie and Twyla made delicious soaps.
There was also eggrolls, chicken and
marvelous desserts. The tables were
decorated so beautifully and little
Christmas baskets with all kinds of
“goodies” adorned each setting. Fr.
Tuan was in charge of the gift giving.
What a fun time he had distributing
all the gifts. Christmas Songs were
song and everyone enjoyed coming
together as a family of friends.
The homebound so not get much
of an opportunity to take part in the
“Christmas Spirit” but this particular
day they enjoyed the friendship and
love that was very apparent at this
gathering!
Time—Talent—Treasure

el bautismo del señor
11 de enero de 2015
De nuestro Párroco
Felicitamos a los candidatos y catecúmenos que participaran en el Rito de Iniciación Cristiana par adultos en este Nuevo año, Tuvimos el rito de aceptación de este
programa (RCIA) el pasado domingo de Epifanía del Señor. También agradezco por las oraciones de apoyo a los familiares que están de duelo por seres queridos que
fallecieron durante las fiestas de navidad, es una etapa muy difícil para los familiares pero las oraciones de son muy importantes (esta clase de apoyo que podemos ofrecer como comunidad de fe) hemos tenido tres funerales la semana pasada iniciando el año.
Damos la bienvenida a los estudiantes del programa de formación de fe, así como también nos estamos preparando para el programa de las confirmaciones; las registraciones ya están listas en la oficina para los que deseen participar en este programa. Le agradecemos a padre Laga y al Padre Juan Carlos junto con el equipo que estarán
coordinando las confirmaciones.
Gracias por hacer tiempo para participar en las celebraciones de la Eucaristía en las fiestas de Adviento y Navidad y por la decoración dentro del Templo y por quitar toda
la decoración, se que toma mucho tiempo y trabajo gracias una vez más a todos los voluntarios.
Gracias a todos los ministros que de una u otra forma participaron en cada una de las celebraciones durante Adviento y navidad, fue un gozo para mí poder celebrar Misa
con la comunidad el fin de año, es una oportunidad muy grande por las diferentes culturas que tenemos en las tres parroquias.
Nos unimos a la celebración Universal del Bautismo del Señor con esto concluye la época de navidad.
Damos la bienvenida a los nuevos Misioneros que estarán con nosotros ayudando con el trabajo Litúrgico en nuestra Parroquia ellos son, Víctor García, Ediberto Luna,
Henry Veliz y Luis Navarro, también damos la bienvenida a la hermana Mary Vu que se encontraba visitando a sus familiares en Texas, Padre Juan Carlos se encuentra
de visita a su familia en el Perú y estará de regreso a final de mes por favor pónganlo a él y su familia en sus oraciones; mientras tendremos a Padre Richard Gallagher y
Padre Paul Koening con nosotros ellos estarán confesando los días jueves y sábados de 6:00 a 7:00 pm
Agradecemos la ayuda financiera que recibimos en la estación de la navidad esto nos ayudara con los gastos de invierno, pues es la época más difícil porque los edificios
ya tienen sus años, también quiero aprovechar para pedirles que antes de salir para sus casas cuando tengan algún evento aquí, mantengan las puertas cerradas para
que no se salga la calefacción esto ayuda a bajar los gastos de gas, así como también recordar de apagar las luces antes de salir.
Quiero agradecerles a todos los que solicitan el uso de uno de nuestros edificios, por comprender las limitaciones que tenemos por el momento, por tratarse con respeto,
esto hace que el trabajo se pueda disfrutar y así poder cumplir la misión que se nos ha encomendado.
Un agradecimiento especial por el compromiso en la corresponsabilidad 2015 continuo xinvitando a compartir sus talentos para esta nuevo año y gracias por la ayuda que
nos dieron en 2014 cuando ayudas sirviendo a los hijos de Dios encontraras gozo, paz y felicidad, hay muchos programas en los que tu puedes ayudar.
Gracias a los líderes de cada parroquia por asistir mensualmente a las reuniones, espero hayan leído las minutas que se han estado enviando antes de cada reunión
Una vez más, Feliz Año Nuevo a ti y tu familia! Que podamos tener un nuevo ano lleno de paz, amor, y esperanza y felicidad por el resto del año!
Atentamente de ustedes en Cristo,
Fr. Tuan Nguyen D. Min.
