The theme for this annual event was “Rekindling Our Zeal: The Risen Christ Encounters His Priests”. Our keynote speaker was Bishop Michael Barber, Bishop of Oakland, California. In addition to different workshop sessions, we had many other activities to participate in, such as: golf, bowling; cooking; Arizona Horseshoes; walking along the beach each day, and playing Ping-Pong. We had an annual health checkup, talked with a personal health coach; talked to a diversified representative; met with other priests; gathered in a small support group, and caught up with other priests from the Archdiocese to celebrate daily Mass and daily prayers. We celebrated the anniversary of numerous priests and prayed for deceased priests who had passed away during the year, and had meals together. We had a wonderful session on “Feed My Lambs: The Role of the Parish Priest in the RCIA” and had some time for Q&A session with the keynote speaker. We thank you for your support and for praying for us while we were at Priest’s Day. We thank you for supporting those families who had lost their loved ones within the last few weeks. We had several funeral services and the Lazarus group minister provided great comfort and assistance to those families in the preparation of those celebrations for their loved ones. We thank the outreach ministers from our regional parishes for reaching out to those families. We congratulate those couples that have just made their commitment (their vows) to love and to live with each other the rest of their life in good and bad times, and they will support and raise their family in God’s love. Transition is hard for us, because we love those people who care for us and they do not want us to feel uncomfortable or make us take a step that we feel is a challenge for us (to deal with change). However, change can be good or bad, depending on how we perceive the situation. Change can give us an opportunity for a new way and is also a new blessing, if we are able to adopt and to adjust with it. We have a change of Priest in our regional parishes. We will be missing Father Juan Carlos very much, because he has been wonderful in assisting us at Sacred Heart’s Church for the last few years. His energy and love for us is very clear on what he says and does. He will be working with another regional parish, which needs his ministry there and this will give him the opportunity to learn and experience more (in his ministry). We will have a farewell celebration for him on the date that we are planning on it with him. I will inform you when I know. It is important for us to get together to thank him for what he has done for us and bless upon him for his new assignment. We also need to welcome Father Patrick McDermott who will be with us in our regional parishes. Father Patrick McDermott is a seasonal Pastor of the Archdiocese of Seattle and he is the Pastor of Sacred Heart’s Church in Lacey, WA. He is a senior priest of the Archdiocese of Seattle. We are very blessed to have him, because he has served many parishes in the Archdiocese and was the former Priest’s Personal Director and speaks Spanish as well as English. I am meeting with him to ask him for advice and to assist us with the Pastoral Care within our regional parishes. He is happy to join me to serve you as Parish Priest in assisting with the Sacraments, so he will be replacing Father Juan Carlos. We thank the Archbishop for seeing the need within our regional parishes to ask Father Patrick to assist us. We are very thankful to Father Patrick for seeing the need to assist us in this capacity, even though he is retired. Please take care of him and welcome him to our regional parishes. His wisdom and his love for the Spanish speaking community is so powerful and this is shown in his commitment and care for us all, by being with us. Please join me to thank Father Juan Carlos by coming to his farewell party and to pray for him, and join me to welcome Father Patrick McDermott who will come to be with us in September. There will be transition time, so we will have time for the step of planning and supporting each other with this period of change. We thank you for taking time to assist the parish in maintaining our parish ground (keeping it clean and beautiful) for the summer time. Our parish grounds is lovingly maintained and looked after by our parishioners, so we deeply appreciate you for your love and care in keeping our parish looking so nice and welcoming. It is hard to keep our parish grounds filled with flowers and plants, if we do not water them during the summer time. We thank the parish leadership for coming to the last meeting in June to take care of issues and concerns of the parish. We will not be meeting until September, so they can have a little time to be with their family for the summer. We are having the summer school for students from the ages of 5-10. We thank the Sisters of the Lovers of the Holy Cross of Go Vap for offering this program for our students within our regional parishes. We also thank the English as a Second Language classes, which is taught by both Dylan and Katrina together with many others who assist them for this program. We thank those parishioners and staff who represented our parish at the Pastoral Planning of our deanery. There are many different opportunities for our parishes to share and support others in the programs and support the staff in order to provide better pastoral care for all of us. If you have any question in this area or you want to read the information on this process of planning, you can contact those members who represented us for this planning. We thank you for your support of the Youth Group at St. John of the Woods for their second car wash to raise funds for their summer convention. We thank their leader, Jacob, who has led them within the last few years and has built up a wonderful youth program for us at St. John of the Woods. Please keep him in your prayers for his vocation. May the Lord continue to bless upon you and your family! Thank you for your continue support our parish even though you are away for a summer vacation with your family, please remember our parish in your contribution and prayers.

Exposition of the Blessed Sacrament (In Church Only) Sacramental Marriage ST. ANN: 8:30am - 7:00pm Thursdays 5pm - 7pm Tuesdays Divine Mercy & Mass (Samoan Comm.) 7:00pm Fridays Mass (Vietnamese Language) by Barbara & Clarence Leingang The Roman Catholic Church defines Sacramental Marriage as “the matrimonial covenant by which a man and a woman establish between themselves a partnership of their whole life. It is by its nature ordered toward the good of the spouses and the procreation and education of offspring.” The Church is custodian and steward of the sacraments including the sacrament of matrimony. Because of this custodial characteristic, it has the right and the duty to defend and explain the subject of marriage. To change the definition of marriage both in the “civil marriage” and “sacramental marriage” goes against all that the Church has taught from the time of Jesus Christ down to the present era. St. Paul taught in his letter to the Ephesians (Eph 5:21) the correlation between the husband/wife relationship in marriage and the spousal relationship of Christ to the church. (CCC 1616) The catechism speaks of an efficacious sign as the sacrament of the covenant of Christ and the Church (CCC 1617). To change the definition of marriage to also include same sex marriage is more than just words. Words and their meanings are malleable and can change or be manipulated. The debate going on around us concerning the definition of marriage is not just about words but rather an argument about the fundamental core meaning of marriage. If this is innately true of civil marriage then it is infinitely true in the case of sacramental marriage. The ramification of same sex marriage becoming law will impact the Catholic Church and the inalienable right to freedom of religion. Reference: Russell Shaw, Catechism of the Catholic Church, ST. JOHN OF THE WOODS: 10:00am - Noon Wednesdays 7:00-9:00pm - Mondays SACRED HEART: 9:00AM-6:30PM Every Thursday 8:30am - Noon Every first Friday Mass Schedule for July at Nursing Homes Date Time Nursing Home Wednesday 1st 11:00 am Gibson House Thursday 2nd 9:00 am Regency Thursday 2nd 10:30 am People Retirement Home Friday 3rd 10:30 am Heart Wood Thursday 16th 10:00 am King’s Manor “May we think of freedom, not as the right to do as we please, but as the opportunity to do what is right.” (Peter Marshall) Happy fourth of July! Outreach Congratulations Charles Gorden and Kathy Moore! If you or someone you know is homebound, or if you have family members who need a visit at this time, please call Fr. Tuan or parish offices to arrange the sacrament of Anointing of the Sick or to receive Holy communion. Sr. Mary and the Sisters will be at their annual retreat. Please pray for them.

During his time in 1983 Hispanic Community was welcomed and a Parish Council was formed which provided excellent lay leadership to the parish. Prayer of the Faithful ~ June 28th That God, who did not make death and who is the source of all life, may bring an end to abortion and all other forms of violence in our world, we pray to the Lord... Respect Life Are there any exceptions to the right and sanctity of a preborn child's life? No, every single life is precious and irreplaceable, without exception! - Exception for life of the mother? There is never a medical need to commit an abortion of a precious, preborn person in order to save the life of the mother. - Exception for the health of the mother? Pregnancy always carries risks and therefore pro-abortion judges will always use the "health of the mother" to justify abortions. - Exception for rape? No preborn person can be justifiably murdered because their existence is due to the tragedy of a rape.

Stewardship Corner Our Annual Catholic Appeal goal was$27,128 the good news is that we have reached our goal and surpassed it by $11,554 (38,683 total pledges). We have had 53% of the parish participate; 178 families have joined together to make this goal and surpass our assigned amount. Here at St. John’s we have 335 registered families. The bad news is we still have a number of families who have not responded. For those who have not yet responded to the ACA, there is still time to do so. There are some envelopes in the back of the church that you can use to commit. By the way, the church pews that we all us are the subject of our Annual Appeal Rebate. These funds that we have coming back to us $11,555 so far will be applied to the purchase of the new pews! The cost of the new pews is $81,636. Our present pews were installed in December 1947 (68 years old). The more people who still come forward and donate to the Annual Catholic Appeal will lessen the load to pay for the pews. Since we all use the pews it would be wonderful to have all of us contribute toward them! Please pray and make a decision to help the 178 families who have already pledged their help. Thank you for your consideration and help. Time—Talent—Treasure Stewardship Commission Thank you to everyone who donated Baby items to Guadalupe house in the month of May.

El orador del retiro fue El Señor Obispo Michael Barber, Obispo de Oakland, California. En adición tuvimos diferentes talleres de trabajo y diversión como de cocina, boliche, golf, ping pong y caminar por la playa y también tuvimos nuestro chequeo médico y poder hablar con un entrenador personal, socializarse con otros sacerdotes. Celebramos el aniversario de muchos sacerdotes de la arquidiócesis, celebramos Misas todos los días y oramos por todos los enfermos y por todos los sacerdotes que murieron este ano con los que compartimos alguna comida juntos. Una de las secciones que me gusto fue “alimentando mis ovejas se trata de el papel de el sacerdote de la parroquia en RICA” tuvimos tiempo para hacer preguntas. Quiero agradecerles por las oraciones que ofrecieron por nosotros mientras estábamos en nuestro retiro. Gracias a todas las familias que consolaron a las personas que pierden sus seres queridos en los últimas semanas. Los cambios son muy difíciles para nosotros, porque amamos a esas personas que cuidan de nosotros y que no nos quieren hacer sentir incómodos o no nos hacen dar un paso que será reto para nosotros (con cambios) de cualquier manera los cambios pueden ser buenos o malos depende de cómo percibamos la situación. Los cambios pueden darnos la oportunidad de un nuevo camino y una nueva bendición; si estamos dispuestos a adoptar y ajustarnos a él. Tendremos cambio de sacerdote en nuestra parroquia; por los dos últimos años Padre J. Carlos, porque ha sido un buen sacerdote ayudando con mucha energía y amor, para nosotros el es claro en las cosas que dice y hace, le extrañaremos mucho. El estará trabajando en otras parroquias donde también lo necesitan donde tendrá la oportunidad de obtener más experiencia en su ministerio. Tendremos una fiesta de despedida para el les informaremos la fecha exacta, es muy importante que nos unamos para agradecerle por todo lo que ha hecho en nuestra parroquia y darle la bendición por su nuevo misión. También debemos dar la bienvenida al Padre Patrick Mcdermont quien estará con nosotros, el está actualmente de pastor en Sagrado Corazón en Lacey, WA uno de los sacerdotes jubilados de la Arquidiócesis de Seattle, nos sentimos bendecidos tenerlo con nosotros, porque ha servido en muchas parroquias y ha sido el director personal de sacerdotes y habla muy bien Ingles y español. Me reuniré con él y pediré su consejo para que nos ayude con el cuidado pastoral en las tres parroquias. El está muy contento por ayudarme con los sacramentos, el será quien reemplace a P. J. Carlos. Agradezco al Señor Arzobispo por ver la necesidad y pedirle al P. Patrick y que nos ayude en la capacidad a pesar que ya está jubilado. Por favor cuídenlo háganlo sentir bienvenido, su amor y sabiduría por las comunidades que hablan español es bastante fuerte esto muestra el compromiso y el cuidad por todos nosotros. Por favor únanse a mi agradeciendo al Padre J. Carlos viniendo a la despedida que tendremos para él y dando la bienvenida a Padre Patrick McDermont el estará con nosotros en Septiembre. Tendremos un espacio para planear y apoyar como adaptarnos a la transición, ayudémonos unos a otros en este periodo de cambio. Agradezco a todos los que dedican su tiempo para arreglar el pasto y los arboles que están alrededor de las instalaciones de la Parroquia, manteniéndolo limpio y bien cuidado durante el verano. Es bastante difícil mantener flores y plantas si no las regamos durante el verano. Gracias a los que vinieron a la reunión Pastoral en Junio y poder resolver problemas e inquietudes de la parroquia; por ahora ya no tendremos reuniones con el consejo pastoral hasta el mes de Septiembre esto es para que durante el verano puedan disfrutar con la familia Gracias a los miembros parroquiales y empleados que representaron a sus parroquias en la reunión mensual de la planeación pastoral del Decanato. Existen muchas formas de poder compartir y ayudar en programas de la oficina para poder proveer un mejor servicio pastoral y cuidado para todos nosotros, si tienen alguna pregunta en esta área o necesitan más información en el proceso de planeación, puede contactar alguno de los representantes de esta planeación. Que nuestro Señor continúe bendiciéndoles a ustedes y sus familias! Gracias por continuar ayudando a la parroquia aunque hayas salido de vacaciones con tu familia, por favor no olvides a tu parroquia en tus contribuciones y oraciones. Atentamente de ustedes en Cristo, Fr. Tuan Nguyen D.
