We also thank those who took the class to be kept updated (refreshing your memory) with the online class at this time each year. We also thank all the volunteers who allowed us to check their background before they volunteer in various ministries in our regional parishes. We spent a lot of time to have background checks and we work hard on the safety of all who we serve from our parishes. We would like to follow the Archdiocese’s policy and we want to provide a place of safety for our parish ministry and activities. We deeply appreciated your engagement and participation in it. We thank the transition core team from St. Ann’s Catholic Church who worked well with different ministries and groups to share with them the parish facility. It was a challenging time to get all the ministries and groups of the parish to support each other. The parish facility is an important place (provides a friendly location) for parish evangelization as we work together to witness the Good News of Jesus Christ, by sharing what we believe in our Faith, by sharing with each other our own stories on how we live our Faith (how each culture celebrates various events); and by sharing with each other how we are United in Faith as well as socializing in different activities from each group. As you well know, we have seven days a week to work and to rest. There is time for us to work and to be with our family, and there is time for us to be with our Faith Community and friends. We need to manage our time well so we can balance ourselves to live a healthy life. We have priorities for what we need to do for ourselves, for our family, and for the Church. We ask you to be a good steward of your time, so we can support the goal and task that we have for our Faith Community. The transition from the summer time to Ordinary time was hard, but you have adjusted and done well. We need to focus into all the ministries we have committed for this year. It is very important to keep your commitment on what you have said you wanted to commit to. We are here to support you and assist you with your commitment. We would like to cordially invite you to come and visit the ministries that we have, so you can pray for us and support us on what you are able to do. Being a pastor of our regional parishes, I have been able to observe each parish’s ministries and ac- tivities. I am always amazed on how each parish is able to enjoy their own activities (putting a lot of time, energy, and finance into supporting their events), even though some committee members complain a little. Despite this, they all enjoy it and you can see the true spirit of this parish being truly alive. The love, the commitment, and the willingness to do it, is the most important for us all for this year. Please sign up to the ministry and activities that you are able to join for this year and be active parishioners. We also have many different programs that we had organized for our regional parishes like the Adult Education, RCIA, RCIC, Bible Study, Confirmation, Baptism classes, regional retreat for liturgical ministers, preparation for the Sacrament of Matrimony and many other social activities and programs that we have. Please read our regional parishes’ bulletin and check on our parish website for the information you need, so you can be involved with the activities that you want. The parish staff continues to work on the Annual Parish Report and it will be sent out or posted on the parish bulletin or parishes’ website for you to read. My weekly bulletin letter is a way for me to share with you on some of the things that are happening in our regional parishes, so please take your time in reading the whole bulletin to find out more of the ministry or activities you are interested in. You will be proud of your own parish and you may find out some more about other ministries that you would like to serve in. We thank the parents of the CCD program who attended the class on Safe and Environment for this year. The class is very important for parents to attend and know the signs or some behaviors from their child that they may not have known before. Our children are very dear to us and we love them and we want to do anything to support them. We also thank the parish staff and parish leadership who attended the Stewardship Day of Reflection before the stewardship campaign commences for this year. There are many technological things we need to learn to assist us with the ministry that we need to do. I have heard that we have more people who volunteer as catechists and teachers to teach our children our Faith and we do not have enough students per classroom for all of our teachers. We encourage parents who have not registered their children in the Faith Formation program to please do it. You do not want to loose this wonderful opportunity for your children to be in the program for this year. We have more teachers and catechists than students in the program. I encourage you to enroll your children or grandchildren into the program. We congratulate all the babies who received the Sacrament of Baptism for this month. It was a joy for all the parents who celebrated this sacrament with our Faith Community. May you continue to be a light of Christ as you guide your child on the journey of Faith with you! We thank you for your commitment for being Christian parents to care for your child. Sincerely Yours in Christ, Regional parishes website: www. Fr. Tuan Nguyen, D.

It further states that a human person is neither the author nor the supreme arbiter of his life, of which God is sovereign Master. In other words, we are obliged to accept life gratefully and preserve it for God’s honor and the salvation of our souls. “ Life is not ours to dispose of.” (CCC2280) The Catechism teaches that sui- cide contradicts the natural inclination of the human being to preserve and perpetuate his life. Suicide is contrary to love for the living God, a grave offense against the just love of God, of self, and of neighbor. Also voluntary cooperation in a suicide is considered a grave offense. We need to recognize that a person may have psychological disturbances as well as anguish, grave fear of hardship, suffering or torture that leads to diminished responsibility. Until recent years, suicide was viewed as a sinful cowardly act. Catholic burials were denied! The Church now provides the last rites and Christian burial to Catholics who take their own lives. The Church has evolved in their perception of suicide and the brain. The Church recognizes that the person should receive full rights of the Church. The Church prays for persons who have taken their own lives. (CCC2283) The Church needs to continue to create an atmosphere that recognizes the need for medical and psychological services for mental illness and depression.

Reflections for Respect Life Month, October, 2014 (USCCB.ORG) Cardinal Seán P. O'Malley, O.F.M. , Chairman. “Each of Us is a Masterpiece of God’s Crea- tion” Continuing... These tragedies go directly against respect for life, and they represent a direct threat to the entire culture of human rights. Rather than societies of “people living together,” our cities risk becoming societies of people who are marginalized, uprooted and oppressed. What can be done to prevent this? We must draw close to Jesus in prayer and in the sacraments. We must ask the Lord for the grace to see ourselves and others as he sees us—as masterpieces of his creation. When God created each of us, he did so with precision and purpose, and he looks on each of us with love that cannot be outdone in intensity or tenderness. We must look at ourselves and at others in light of this truth and treat all people with the reverence and respect which is due. The Church’s antidote to an individualism which threatens the respect for human dig- nity is community and solidarity. Are we moved by the suffering of those without shelter? Do we seek to alleviate the fear, confusion and panic that women facing unexpected pregnancies may be experiencing? Do our hearts ache for elderly patients in nursing homes who feel abandoned and unwanted, having no one to visit them? (to be continued) Member Engagement Parish/Gallup Prayer of the Faithful ~ October 12th That we, the People of Life, may always proclaim and defend human life as a gift from God, who destroys death forever in Christ, we pray to the Lord...

Regional Parishes of Tacoma Survey Bulletin #4 ME (Member Engagement) Survey Result flyers will be included in the upcoming bulletins through 2014 to communicate the results from our February 2014 ME25 survey. The fundamental cornerstone of a parish is to produce spiritually committed individuals, in both attitudes and behaviors. The intent of the survey was to provide a measurement or ‘pulse’ of the spiritual health of our parishes. The ME25 survey results consisted of 25 items: 9 items measuring individual spirituality, 12 items measuring parishioner engagement and 4 outcome items about life: satisfaction, inviting, serving and giving. Please commit to reading the weekly ME25 survey result publications and provide your feedback of ways to continue to improve the spiritual health of our Regional Parishes of Tacoma for producing the “fruits of the Spirit” in our parish community. We need and value your input! Include your feedback via our Regional parish website: www.trparishes.org - Member Engagement Survey Results, or drop the completed flyer into the weekly collection basket. THEOLOGY ON TAP IN TACOMA!

Finance Council News The St. Ann Finance Council met on October 2nd. Parish financial reports for August were reviewed and the Parish’s budget performance for the current year was evaluated. Financial data for the Fiscal Year to date, July and August 2014, indicate Parish Sunday Contributions to be somewhat less than normal. This will be monitored to ensure the Parish remains financially stable. The Council discussed the upcoming Sacrificial Campaign. Witness speakers are needed for all Masses. Please contact a Financial Council member or leave your name with Carmen in the Parish Office if you are willing to share your Sacrificial Giving experience. CCS’s Phoenix Housing has moved out of the former Saint Ann School and the Council discussed the financial impacts of absorbing the building’s ex- penses (insurance, utilities, and maintenance) into the Parish Budget. Additionally, there will have to be some renovation of spaces to make them suitable for Parish use. The Parish remains financially healthy thanks to your continued financial support. Thank you.

ME (Member Engagement) Survey Result flyers will be included in the upcoming bulletins through 2014 to communicate the results from our February 2014 ME25 survey. The fundamental cornerstone of a parish is to produce spiritually committed individuals, in both attitudes and behaviors. The intent of the survey was to provide a measurement or ‘pulse’ of the spiritual health of our parishes. The ME25 survey results consisted of 25 items: 9 items measuring individual spirituality, 12 items measuring parishioner engagement and 4 outcome items about life: satisfaction, inviting, serving and giving. Please commit to reading the weekly ME25 survey result publications and provide your feedback of ways to continue to improve the spiritual health of our Regional Parishes of Tacoma for producing the “fruits of the Spirit” in our parish community. We need and value your input! Include your feedback via our Re-‐ gional parish website: www.trparishes.org - Member Engagement Survey Results, or drop the completed flyer into the weekly collection basket. 7 Mass Intentions Onosai Aulaya, Kathy Bley, Alice Biles,Ruth Bones, Billy Bones, Josie Bigler, Chris Bilye, Marylyn Calhound, Louis Castrilli, Katherine Carson, Juana Freeman, Ben Freudenstein, Ernesto Fuentes, JoAnn Garner, Alice Ginther, Claire M.

Sirven para cultivar y custodiar mejor la viña del Señor, para cooperar en su sueño, su proyecto de amor por su pueblo”. Esta es la invitación que el Santo Padre ha expresado a los padres sinodales durante la Misa para la apertura del Sínodo extraordinario sobre la familia, que tuvo lugar el domingo 5 de octubre. “Todos nosotros somos pecadores – ha recordado el Papa, pidiendo a cada quien discernir sobre los impulsos más profundos que lo llevan a actuar- pues también nosotros podemos tener la tentación de «apoderarnos» de la viña, a causa de la codicia”.
