We thank you for assisting the liturgical committee from each parish to take down all the Christmas decorations after the Feast of the Baptism of Our Lord. Our regional Churches were beautifully decorated during the Christmas Season and now we are in the Ordinary Time as we prepare for the Ash Wednesday liturgical celebration, which is the commencement of the Lenten Season. We had an informative meeting with the parish staff last week. We thank St. John of the Woods’ Church for hosting this regional staff annual meeting. I had the opportunity to thank the parish staff for their ministry within our regional parishes. We are ready for this year with many different projects and training workshops that we will participate in. We also met with the parish leadership for this month to review the financial statement from the last few months. We thank you for making your commitment to support our parish stewardship commitment for this year. The Stewardship Committee has provided a report on the parish bulletin from each parish. We encourage you to make your commitment to assist your parish on what you are able to do. We need your support in balancing the budget that we had planned for this fiscal year. We are in the seventh month of this budget and now is the time for the Financial Council to gather information to prepare for the coming year’s budget. They need to have information from different ministries in our parish to plan for next year’s budget. As parishioners, you may want to know the status of your home parish in order for you to know how to support it, so I have asked the Financial Council to prepare a short report for you with the information that you may want to know. We had an informative meeting with the Liturgical Committee to plan for the liturgical celebrations from the Ordinary Time to the Easter Season. We also have scheduled the date for the liturgical ministers’ retreat for the Lenten Season (this year). We are very blessed to have Andrew Casad from the Archdiocese Liturgy Office, who will lead this retreat day for us. There will be more information about this event. We met with the Parish Long Range Plan core team from each parish to review the implementations on the parish plan. We thank the core team for assisting us to focus on the issue and concern, so we are able to follow the goal in the area that we want to implement for each parish. It is good news for us to share with you on the area and projects we have been able to complete in accordance with our five years’ plan. The programs and projects that we wanted to accomplish, we were able to complete them with the support of our parish volunteers. However, some projects require us to hire professionals to do them and this requires having sufficient financial support to pay for them. The problem is when we do not have sufficient financial support; we are not able to move forward with these projects. We thank you for your continue support and we hope that the projects that we have completed in accordance with what was planned, that you are satisfied with them. We are very pleased to welcome four missionary workers to Sacred Heart’s Church for their ministry to assist us with the Latino community. Please welcome them and support them on what you can do to make them feel at home. I am very impressed with these young men who have made their commitment to serve the Church for a year or two as missionary workers with little pay; and all we need to do is to feed them, cloth them, and provide them with accommodations, as they do not receive payment (monetary) for their ministry. I thank the committee members that we had formed to support them at Sacred Heart’s Church. We also thank the priest who is helping us while Father Juan Carlos is away for his vacation. We have Baptism, Quinceañera, Wedding, and Funeral celebrations along with daily and weekend Masses. We thank the catechists, teachers, teacher’s aides, and volunteers who assist us with this New Year’s Faith Formation program. We are very happy to welcome the students back to the CCD program; and we congratulate the catechumens and candidates (RCIA) for receiving the Rite of Accepting into the program. We welcome you to the adult education program that we have on Wednesday night. We also thank you for coming back to the Bible study group at St. John of the Woods’ Church. We started the Confirmation class and we thank the core team members who assist us this year. We need your assistance during the winter time when you come to the Church or you are using our Church’s facility. Please keep the doors closed to keep the heat in the building and only turn the lights and heating on when you need it and also to please turn them off once you have finished with your group’s activities or meetings. You know how expensive the utilities bills are when you pay them for your own home, but this is more expensive for what we have to pay for the Church’s utilities’ bills during the winter. So, please assist us to be a good steward of the resource that we have, so we can continue to serve each other well. We congratulated those couples that received the Sacrament of Matrimony and those babies who were baptized last week. We also thank the homebound minister who took time to visit those who are home bound and bringing them the Body of Christ. We also ask you to pray for those families who have experienced the loss of their loved ones. It is hard for them and we thank you for your prayers for them. May the Lord continue to bless upon you and your families! Thank you for your continue support to our parish life. Sincerely, Yours in Christ, Our website: www.trparishes.org Fr. Tuan Nguyen, D.

We are very pleased to welcome four missionary workers: Eddi Luna, Luis Navarro, Victor Garcia and Henry Veliz to Sacred Heart’s Church for their ministry to assist us with the Latino community. Please welcome them and support them on what you can do to make them feel at home. I am very impressed with these young men who have made their commitment to serve the Church for a year or two as missionary workers with little pay; and all we need to do is to feed them, cloth them, and provide them with accommodations, as they do not receive payment (monetary) for their ministry. 3 Many things contribute to the status of the Altar and Sanctuary area of Catholic Churches. Customs, ethnic values, time of year, locale of the Church and so on. In a given city, each Church may be different regarding the environment of the altar and sanctuary. The question then: does the Church have regulations that govern or options that contribute to the varices? Here are some of the instructions from the GIRM (The General Instruction in the Roman Missal). 1. The altar is to be covered with at least one white cloth. 2. Regarding candles: At least two candlesticks with lighted candles should be on or next to the altar. Sometimes four or six may be used especially for a Sunday Mass or holy day of obligation. Note: when the diocesan bishop celebrates then seven candles may be used (#117) Prior to 1970 when the altar did not face the people, the altar usually had six candles and a cross on it. Because of the influence of Pope Benedict, in some Churches you will see a reappearance of a small cross on the altar. 3. According to the GIRM: “ floral decorations should always show moderation and be arranged around the altar rather than on the altar table.” (#305) The Pastor, using the GIRM as his guide, should have the final say regarding the altar table and its surroundings. There is a liturgical ministry devoted to the “Environment of the Church.” Reference: Our Sunday Visitor Prayer of the Faithful ~ January 18th, 2015 For the success of the March for Life: that this powerful event may open hearts, minds, souls to the fullness of the Gospel of Life in our lives and laws; we pray to the Lord:Respect LifeCome out with your family and friends this Tuesday, January 20th to the Mass for Life - 9:30 AM, Marcus Pavilion at St. Martin's University in Lacey with Archbishop Sartain, and then to the March for Life - Noon at the State Capitol in Olympia. We remember the deaths of more than 57 million unborn babies since the 1973 Supreme Court decisions legalized abortion on demand for all nine months of pregnancy. You all are needed in Olympia! Your presence and prayers will help show elected officials and the public the depth of support for pro-life legislation that protects women and unborn babies. Year of Consecrated Life October 1, 2014 (www.usccb.org) Pope Francis proclaimed 2015 a Year of Consecrated Life, starting on the First Sunday of Advent, the weekend of November 29, 2014, and ending on February 2, 2016, the World Day of Consecrated life. The year also marks the 50th anniversary of Perfectae Caritatis, a decree on religious life, and Lumen Gentium, the Second Vatican Council’s constitution on the Church. Its purpose, as stated by the Vatican is to “make a grateful remembrance of the recent past” while embracing “the future with hope.” Regional Center Are you an Asian or Pacific Island Catholic?

Well not yet, I have another “thank you” to mention to you! On December 15,2014 St John of the Woods parish hosted the Christmas party for Ministry leaders of St. Ann’s Parish, Sacred Heart Parish and St. Jon of the Woods Parish. Gaye Dolan, Karen Knobbe and their helpers planned a very nice party. St John’s provided, turkey, ham and beverages, while using the alphabet some people were requested to bring side dishes, salads, and desserts. There were about 100 people who attended from the three parishes. It was a wonderful turn–out of people. After the wonderful food, enjoyed by all, Fr. Tuan suggested that we all join together and sing Christmas carols. We broke up into three parishes and had a competition. St. Ann’s was first, Sacred Heart was second and St. John’s was last. Nancy Burkholder played the piano St. John’s and we had more voices and we won the competition. We wish to thank al who participated in a very heart-warming event and also to all those who brought foo to share. We would also like to thank those who helped with the clean up. There were so many helpers that I don’t have enough room to list them all. There is one more ‘thank you’ and that is to Pat Kawalchuk who decorated the tables with beautiful Christmas floral arrangements that lasted throughout the holidays—Thanks you Pat! Time-Talent-Treasure Stewardship Commission Due to the Super Bowl The parish breakfast will be on February 8th from 8am to 11am Wanted: There is a basket in the church entrance for Last Palms Sunday’s Palms to be dropped off so that they can be burned and used for Ash Wednesday this year. What’s New? St. John’s Meditation Garden We have organized a committee to plan a meditation garden for St. John’s. We have had 2 meetings to begin planning. This project would be constructed in phases, the first being the installation of a large Cross that one of our parishioners is donating and building. There have been several different plans to install this cross and that is still in the planning stages. We do want to have the Cross installed by then Lenten season this year and depending on the weather maybe a cement floor for a small altar. We would like to plant shrubs to outline the garden this spring. We are having a nurseryman join our next meeting to guide us and answer questions regarding placement of shrubs, etc. More information will follow. 6 Come out on Tuesday Jan 20th to the Mass for Life—9:30am Marcus Pavilion at St. Martin’s University in Lacey with Archbishop Sartain And then to the March for Life— Noon at the State Capitol Olympia.

Las tres parroquias de nuestra región estuvieron muy bien decoradas para la navidad, ahora nos encontramos en el tiempo ordinario, e iniciar la preparación para la celebración Litúrgica del Miércoles de Ceniza que donde da inicio al Tiempo de cuaresma. Gracias por hacer el compromiso de continuar ayudando a nuestra parroquia atreves de la corresponsabilidad (mayordomía) para este nuevo año. En el boletín semanal aparece el reporte de las donaciones de cada uno de ustedes. Necesitamos de tu ayuda para balancear el presupuesto financiero que tenemos para este nuevo año, así poder llevar a cabo los proyectos que tenemos en mente, como se habrán dado cuenta estamos en el séptimo mes fiscal, como feligreses me imagino que quieren saber que vamos hacer en este ano, pero tu ayuda no podemos seguir adelante. Muy pronto tendremos información más concreta del retiro Litúrgico para ministros en cuaresma, tendremos como invitado especial a Andrew Casy de la Arquidiócesis de Seattle. Estamos muy agradecidos y damos la bienvenida a los nuevos misioneros, ahora tenemos cuatro, por favor ayúdenlos y háganlos sentir como en su propia casa. Yo él lo particular estoy impresionado por el compromiso que tienen en servir a la Iglesia por uno o dos años en el trabajo misionero sin ningún pago monetario por su ministerio; todo lo que tenemos que hacer es darles ropa, comida y darles alojamiento, agradezco al grupo que los apoya. Agradezco a los sacerdotes que han venido apoyarnos con los servicios de la Eucaristía hemos podido celebrar bodas funerales y bautismos, mientras Padre Juan Carlos se encuentra de vacaciones. También agradezco a las catequistas, voluntarios que nos ayudaron el año pasado en el programa de formación de fe. Estamos muy contentos y damos la bienvenida a los nuevos estudiantes de catequesis y felicitar a los candidatos de catecumenado (RCIA), también al grupo de los adultos que también iniciaron sus clases, gracias a todos en este nuevo año. Les pido nuevamente de favor a todos los grupos que cuando ocupen cualquiera de los edificios durante el invierno traten de mantener las puertas cerradas para mantener la calefacción a la misma temperatura, al igual de solo encender luces que necesitamos y recordarnos de apagar las luces cuando salgamos; ustedes mismos se habrán dado cuenta en sus hogares lo caro que sale el Bill de la Luz y de el gas en estos días de invierno ayuden nos a ahorrar con estos gastos. Felicitamos a la pareja que contrajo matrimonio el fin de semana, les pido que los lleven en sus oraciones. Gracias a aquellos que dedican su tiempo llevando la comunión a los hogares de los enfermos; Que nuestro Señor continúe derramando bendiciones sobre sus familias, y gracias por continuar ayudando a nuestra parroquia.
