Pastor’s Letter
Dear Parishioners,
It was a wonderful weekend that we had for our regional parishes to celebrate different events with our children (their First Communion) and for our Faith Community to honor the Virgin Mary, by crowning Her and presenting Her with flowers during the month of
May. We ask you to pray for our candidates as they prepare to receive the Sacraments of Baptism and Confirmation. We have a big
group for Baptism during the Easter Season and we extend our congratulations to parents and godparents for taking up their responsibility to pass on the Faith that they believe to their children and godchildren. We have a big group of candidates who will receive the
Sacrament of Confirmation on May 20th at St. Ann’s Church and we welcome Bishop Eusebio who will celebrate this sacrament with
them. We welcomed Priests, Deacons, Sisters, and Seminarians from the Regional XII (from the States of Alaska, Idaho, Montana,
Oregon and Washington) who came to the Year of Consecrated Life event last Monday for a day of prayers and support for the vocation of religious life and to the Priesthood. It was a joyful day as we gathered with them. We thank you for your support and for assisting me to provide hospitality in welcoming them. We also gathered to celebrate the 50th Anniversary of Priestly life of Father
Francis Mien with the Vietnamese community last Friday and celebrated the temporary vows of Sister Lan Kim Hoang from the religious order of the Sisters of the Lover of the Holy Cross of Go-Vap. It was a blessed week that we had and it will be a wonderful
week ahead for us with many celebrations, tasks and responsibilities to fulfill numerous projects that we are committed to do.
We congratulate our Mothers within our regional parishes that are living among us, that they have a joyful
weekend with their children and families. We cordially invite their children to join us to celebrate Mother’s Day this weekend before the students of the CCD program go on their summer break. It is important
for us to be closer to our spiritual Mother (Virgin Mary), so we can receive Her blessing upon us during
this month. I invite you to come and join with the Faith Community to the house of prayer (our Church) to
pray the Rosary with us before Daily and Weekend Masses. It is a good way of bringing flowers from
your own garden to the Church to offer it to Her. We also have our own mother and we join them on this
Mother’s Day weekend in letting them know how much we love and care for them. It is not only this
weekend, but we have the obligation to do it each day of our lives to honor them. Our parish volunteers have prepared beautiful floral bouquets for you to buy and give to your mom on this special day. We thank the Sisters and volunteers for assisting us with this
project, so we can appreciate our mothers on Mother’s Day.
We thank you for completing the Annual Catholic Appeal commitment card and returning it to the parish office or to the Annual
Catholic Appeal Office. Your commitment is very important for each of our parishes to achieve the goal that we have and we are
hoping to receive a sufficient rebate for the project that we want to work on. There is information on the bulletin on how many people have returned their commitment card each week, so we thank them for their support.
We thank the parish leadership team who came to the Pastoral Planning meeting with the Deanery’s representative to share their insight and feedback on the planning of the Pierce Deanery. It is good to voice our suggestion in the process of planning, so we do not
feel left out of the Pastoral Planning. We thank the Financial Council from each parish for preparing the budget for the coming year.
We thank the coordinator within each ministry for working with the Financial Council in assisting them with the information for the
budget. Each organization and ministry has a dream or wish that they would like to do (projects), but we need to be faithful with the
Vision and Priority of the parish and the most important is to have a balanced budget. Therefore, each ministry needs to know the
financial limitation of our parishes and what we are only able to do. We thank the parish leadership team who are working very close
with me in all different projects and especially assisting me with the vision and priority to envision and support the parish’s mission
to serve God’s people.
We thank the liturgical ministers who are serving our regional parishes. You are very special within our parish as you represent
Christ who is among us each time we gather to worship. We also thank the Outreach ministers who come to visit those who are
homebound, sick, poor, and share the love of Christ within and outside of our regional parishes. We also thank those volunteers in
the parish office for assisting us with the paper work and various administrative tasks (i.e. mailing out parish letters, answering phone
calls and making others feel welcome when they come to the parish office). We also thank many volunteers in the Faith Formation
program (i.e. teachers, catechists, teacher’s aides, and those that support the program by leading it or providing support in other
ways). We deeply appreciate you for your time and talent that you share with us. I cannot thank you enough and always keep you
and your family in my daily prayers and thoughts. As you become involved in the parish life and activities, you have come to know
that our regional parishes depends heavily on volunteers to carry on the parish mission; and we have only a few support staff who are
over loaded with key areas of responsibility that they need to complete (their tasks) each day. We need to keep our parish balanced
and healthy, so we have to make sure that the clergy and staff are in good health to serve us. Thus, your time and talent is the core
and heart of keeping the parish alive and strong in what we are doing.
There is much more information that you must and should know to support our parish mission, so please read our regional parishes’
bulletin and website. We are encouraging each of the parish ministries to provide a short report to us, so we can post them and share
with you the Good News. Thank you for your continue support of our parish mission. May the Lord continue to bless upon you and
your family!
Sincerely yours in Christ,
Our website: www.trparishes.org
Please remember your parish in your Will.

Does the Catholic Church teach that the Bible is the sole rule of
faith? Actually the Church has taught for 2000 years that divine
revelation is contained in both the Sacred Scriptures and in Sacred Tradition. The Catechism of the Catholic Church defines
Scripture as the bible composed of books containing the truth
of God’s Revelation that were composed by human authors inspired by the Holy Spirit (105). Tradition is defined as the living transmission of the message of the Gospel in the Church.
The oral preaching of the Apostles and the written message of
salvation are conserved and handed on as the deposit of faith
through the apostolic succession. Both the living Tradition and
the written Scriptures have their common source in the revelation of God in Jesus (75-82) Catholics believe that Sacred Tradition or truths were handed down to the Apostles orally by our
Lord. This is known as apostolic tradition. Protestants claim that
the Bible is the only rule of faith and that it contains all the material one needs for “theology.” Therefore no apostolic tradition, Church Magisterium (teaching authority) is needed to help
one understand. The Protestant view teaches that all Christian
truth can be found within the Bible. Anything else is extraneous, non-authoritative, unnecessary or wrong. The Second Vatican Council said in the document Dei Verbum (The Word of
God) that there is a close connection and communication between Sacred Tradition and Sacred Scripture because both flow
from God. The Word of God was entrusted to the Apostles by
Jesus and passed on to His Church.

2015 Annual Catholic Appeal Goal for Regional Parishes
Sacred Heart ACA Goal: $28,600
St. Ann ACA Goal:
$36,511
St. John of the Woods: $27,128
Our parish goal of for the Annual Catholic Appeal has not been met
as of today, which means your participation is vital to help us
achieve our goal!
Our parish’s participation in the Appeal is more than just raising
money for the Archdiocese. We belong to the wider Church – not
just our own parish, but in communion with our brothers and sisters
in neighboring parishes.
I am counting on you to participate in support of the Appeal this
year in some way. If you gave last year, please consider increasing
your gift by 5% this year. If you did not give last year, would you
consider a gift of a dollar a day ($365)? Gifts of any amount are
welcome, and your gift will make a big impact on many lives in
Western Washington!
For Mobile devices: https://www.seattlearchdiocese.org/
Stewardship/MobACA/MobDonate.aspx*If you cannot give this
year, we still want you to participate by praying for the Appeal.
Please complete a pledge envelope, write in “Prayer” and send it in.
This way, you can still be a part of our parish effort for the Appeal!
This will also help us reduce follow-up mailing costs. Thank you!
Prayer of the Faithful ~ May 10, 2015
For mothers:That they may be strengthened in bringing
the life-giving love of Christ to their children and to the world;We
pray to the Lord...Respect Life"The most important person on
earth is a mother. She cannot claim the honor of having built
Notre Dame Cathedral. She need not. She has built something
more magnificent than any cathedral—a dwelling for an immortal
soul, the tiny perfection of her baby’s body. The angels have not
been blessed with such a grace. They cannot share in God’s creative miracle to bring new saints to Heaven. Only a human mother
can. Mothers are closer to God the Creator than any other creature; God joins forces with mothers in performing this act of creation. . . What on God’s good earth is more glorious than this; to be
a mother?” -Joszef Cardinal Mindszenty Smile! Your Mom
choose life! Thanks Mom!
Confirmation
This past weekend our Confirmation class attended the Confirmation Retreat given at SJOW Parish. It was a large class of 68 students from St. Ann’s, SJOW, and Sacred Heart. The students found
it to be a powerful experience. We thank all who helped to make it a
success.
We had the following adults give presentations:
Peaches Dela Paz, Justin Claravall, S.J., Fr. Paolo Laga, Bryce
Comfort, Theresa Dent, Leilani Siaki and Jacob Hayden.
The retreat was ran by Fr.Laga, Theresa Dent, Manuel Morales,
Leilani Siaki, and Jacob Hayden.
The following students returned from previous years to help out on
the retreat: Jasmin, Maria, Jewlie and Kenny.
A big thank you to parents who provided security to the area, parents who brought food, who served and cleaned up the area. SJOW,
we are most grateful to you for your generosity in letting us use
your facilities. May our young people take what they learned and go
out into the world and share what they have learned with others.

Have you noticed the new sidewalk and
parking spaces in front of the church office? The
men from the facilities committee have worked so
hard in the rain and hot sun to provide these new
parking spaces for us. More handicap parking is now
also available in front of the church as well. We are
fortunate to have these men who have the know-how
and can provide us with their time & talents that
save us a bundle of money! Removing the circular
driveway and old cement was a very difficult job but
the guys along with Fr. Laga’s help really worked
hard and got the job accomplished. So many times
these facilities men do so many jobs around the
church and grounds which goes unnoticed. They
would not want their names in this article. But remember these men are always working together on
repair projects as well as yard maintenance. If you
know who these men & women are please
‘THANK’ “ them for their service to our church
community!

Annual Catholic Appeal Campaign 2015 Project As mentioned in Father Tuan's Annual Catholic Appeal letter mailed to you, the
proposed use of the rebate is to replace the pews in our Church. The Facilities
Committee contacted Ediger Church Furniture Inc. located in Oregon
and received 4 estimates for various styles and types of seating. The recommended
replacement pews would be constructed of sold Red Oak, with solid contour seats
and solid tongue groove wood backs at a cost of $81,636.; Red Oak is a hardwood and would have a long life and can
be easily cleaned, polished and maintained. Our current pews are constructed of a soft wood, fir, and were probably
placed in our current Church building which was completed in December of 1947, making them about 68 years
old. The pews are showing the wear of 68 years. The replacement of the pews was one of 10 projects included in the
2008 plan for restoring and prolonging the life of the Church. New pews were mentioned again in the Vision 2017
booklet each of us have received.
New pews appear to be the priority.
We are currently working with the Archdiocese to make good choices to finance and purchase the pews.
Your generous pledge and contribution to the Annual Catholic Appeal Campaign 2015 can increase the amount of
rebate returned to Saint John of the Woods and in turn help pay for the new pews.
THANK YOU for your continued generosity and support of our church, Saint John of the Woods and the Church of
May is your last chance to join

Queridos Feligreses:
Tuvimos una celebración maravillosa en honor a la coronación de la Virgen María el fin de semana pasado nos reunimos las tres parroquias en diferentes eventos con nuestros
niños de la primera comunión, continuaremos por el resto del mes presentándole flores. Les pedimos de sus oraciones por los candidatos que se están preparando para recibir
el sacramento del bautismo y confirmación, es un grupo grande que se celebrara el día 20 de Mayo en la Iglesia de Santa Ana, donde también le daremos la bienvenida al
Señor Obispo Elizondo quien estará a cargo de celebrar este sacramento con ellos. En la vigilia pascual tuvimos un grupo bastante grande, y quiero felicitar a los padres y
padrinos por tomar la responsabilidad de pasar su fe y sus creencias a sus hijos y nietos.
Felicitamos a todas las Madres de las tres parroquias que viven con nosotros esperando que hayan gozado junto a sus hijos y familiares; invitamos a los niños de la primera
comunión que nos unamos a celebrar el día de las Madres, es muy importante para nosotros estar cerca de nuestra madre espiritual (Virgen María) para que podamos recibir
sus bendiciones sobre nosotros durante este mes. Les invito a que vengan unidos en la comunidad de fe a la casa de oración (nuestro templo) a rezar el rosario todos los días y
los fines de semana a Misa. Una buena idea es traer en ofrenda flores de tu propio jardín para la Virgen, y a nuestra propia madre en el fin de semana le haremos saber cuánto
la cuidamos y amamos, pero que no solo sea este fin de semana porque tenemos la obligación de hacerlo todos los días de nuestra vida de darle honor a ella. La catequesis
junto con los misioneros tuvo un evento en honor a las madres espero hayan pasado una buena tarde. Felicidades!!!!
Gracias por regresar a la oficina su tarjeta de compromiso a la Petición católica Anual, tu compromiso es muy importante para poder cumplir con la nueva meta de este ano,
pues esperamos recibir el reembolso para poder completar nuestro proyecto. En este boletín encontraran cuantos han respondido por semana entregando la tarjeta, gracias por
su ayuda.
Agradezco al equipo de lideres que vinieron a la reunión de planeación pastoral junto con los representantes del Decanato, para poder compartir sus inquietudes sobre los
nuevos planes que tiene el Decanato del condado de Pierce, es bueno escuchar nuestra voz y sugerencia en este proceso, para no sentir que nos hacen a un lado.
Agradezco al Comité económico de cada parroquia por preparar el presupuesto para el año siguiente. Agradezco a los coordinadores de cada ministerio por Trabajar junto al
comité de finanzas reportando la información necesaria para el presupuesto del próximo año. Cada grupo o ministerio tiene un sueno o un proyecto pero tenemos que ser fieles
en mantener las prioridades de la parroquia basadas en el compromiso del Plan a Largo Plazo 2017 (Visión 2017) pero la más importante es tener en bien balance el presupuesto de la parroquia. Es por eso que cada ministerio necesita saber las limitaciones financieras y lo que tenemos disponible para hacer. Agradezco al equipo de líderes que trabajan muy de cerca con migo en todos los diferentes proyectos y en especial los que me ayudan en la visión y las prioridades en el futuro y apoyan en la misión de la parroquia
de servir a las personas de Dios.
Agradezco a los ministros litúrgicos de las tres parroquias, ustedes son muy especiales en nuestras parroquias porque ustedes representan a Cristo quien está entre nosotros
cada vez que nos juntamos en la celebración de cada Misa. También agradezco a los que visitan a los enfermos, los pobres y comparten con ellos el amor de Cristo en las
afueras de nuestra parroquias regionales. Gracias también a los voluntarios que ayudan en la oficina, con el trabajo de doblar cartas, y poniéndolas en los sobres, contestando
llamadas recibiendo a las personas haciéndolas sentir bienvenidas cuando vienen a la oficina, a los Ministros del programa Formación de Fe (catequistas, asistentes de catequistas, voluntarios que ayudan en diferentes formas y dirigiendo el programa. Agradecemos profundamente tu tiempo y talento que comparten con nosotros no puedo agradecerlo mejor que poniendo a ustedes y sus familiares en mis oraciones.
A medida que te involucres en las actividades parroquiales, te darás cuenta que en las tres parroquias dependemos mucho del trabajo voluntario para poder llevar acabo nuestra
misión parroquial; y el personal de la oficina tiene demasiadas responsabilidades que necesita tener listas cada día, por eso es muy importante la ayuda de los voluntarios.
Necesitamos mantener el balance y el bienestar de la parroquia y asegurarnos que el clero y el personal de la oficina tengan buena salud para que puedan trabajar. Por ejemplo
tu tiempo y Talento es el centro y el corazón de mantener la vida de la parroquia y la fuerza de todo lo que hacemos.
Hay mucha más información que debes saber de cómo ayudar en la misión de nuestra parroquia, por favor lee el boletín o la pagina del internet. Le hemos pedido a cada uno
de los ministros a traer un reporte corto y poder ponerlo en la página de Internet o boletín, compartan las buenas noticias.
Gracias por continuar ayudando en la Misión de la parroquia. Que nuestro Señor continúe bendiciendo a ti y tu familia!
Atentamente de ustedes en Cristo.

"Si alguno no confesare que el Emmanuel (Cristo) es verdaderamente Dios, y que por tanto, la Santísima Virgen es
Madre de Dios, porque parió según la carne al Verbo de Dios hecho carne, sea anatema."
El Concilio Vaticano II hace referencia del dogma así:
"Desde los tiempos más antiguos, la Bienaventurada Virgen es honrada con el título de Madre de Dios, a cuyo
amparo los fieles acuden con sus súplicas en todos sus peligros y necesidades" (Constitución Dogmática Lumen
Gentium, 66)
La Santísima Virgen es nombrada también
bajo los títulos de:
Madre de la Iglesia y Madre de los hombres.
La Virgen no puede ser objeto de culto de adoración o latría (la adoración sólo corresponde a Dios). Pero sí se honra a
la Virgen de una manera especial, a la que la Iglesia llama "hiperdulía" que es una veneración mayor a la que se da a los
santos del cielo, ellos son objeto de culto de "dulía" o veneración.
