The advantages are that older things are tried and true; inanimate friends, if you will, once you get accustomed to their quirks, maximize their strengths and compensate for their weaknesses. The disadvantages to having old stuff is that those things are probably obsolete, difficult to service, and quite possibly expensive to replace. Our parish plant is old itself, and full of old stuff. Among them is the computer system that drives the heating and cooling system in the church and hall. It was installed in approximately 1997, and has given faithful, if erratic service since that time. We have learned to compensate for its deficiencies. But, the hour has come to replace it. After taking several bids, the bid that promises the best quality replacement comes to $14,000. We tried to keep the old one in service, but let’s get real. How many of us are still using our computers from the Clinton administration? Another disadvantage to having “old stuff” is that it breaks down unexpectedly. Witness the furnace for the upstairs of the parish offices. It gave out last week. Upon investigation we discovered that this furnace was the original equipment in the house, dating to 1954. We got good value from it. So, in the interest of comfort and public safety, we replaced it with a current model. That bill came to $4,000. Finally, getting the stained glass windows in the church repaired has been a long time pet project, but one that has been delayed several times as new needs pop up. I would very much like to get this done this summer. That is going to cost $13,500. I tell you all this because I know how proud you all are of the parish and the church. I also know that you all would like to see the place be as safe and comfortable as possible. Therefore, I am asking for your help. In the bulletin today, you will find envelopes marked “Maintenance Fund.” You may put them in the collection basket next week. As always, you have my deepest gratitude. I continue to be amazed at your kindness and generosity. Blessings!

The spiritual graces that we receive as a parish from having Perpetual Adoration are too numerous to mention. If you would like to become a part of the Eucharistic Adoration, contact the office at 206-878-8709 and we’ll put you in touch with any one of the captains of the Eucharistic Adoration. 2/1/15 Page 2 Mass Intentions Saturday, January 31 9:00am For All the Faithful 5:30pm Anthony Wheeler/Birthday Sunday, February 1 6:30am Para los Feligreses 8:30am Pro Popolo 10:30am Jeeva Zacharias 1:00pm Para los Feligreses 5:30pm Pro Popolo Monday, February 2 7:30am Patricia Glaman Ana & Family Lynn Osborne Tuesday, February 3 7:30am Ana & Family Wednesday, February 4/NO AM MASS 7:00pm Para los Feligreses Thursday, February 5 7:30am Ana & Family Elizabeth Guerrero George Guerrero Friday, February 6 7:30am Ana & Family Reginald Bien Aimee Saturday, February 7 9:00am Mike Dolan Amada Guarderas Francesca Mercado 5:30pm Antonio & Silvia Ramirez Amada Guarderas Mike Dolan SI RIP Monday, February 2 The Presentation of the Lord Malachi 3:1-4; Hebrews 2:14-18; Luke 2:22-40 RIP SI RIP Tuesday, February 3 Weekday; St. Blaise, Bishop & Martyr; St. Ansgar, Bishop SI Wednesday, February 4 Weekday Hebrews 12:1-4; Mark 5:21-43 Hebrews 12:4-7, 11-15; Mark 6:1-6 SI RIP SI SI RIP SI SI SI RIP SI SI SPECIAL INTENTIONS Ellen Lewis, Jean Cruz, Janice Montry, Sue Huffman, Nan Merlich, Bobby Bautista, Don Corfman, Angela Reyes, Nancy Arnold Patterson Archbishop J.

Religious Education/Faith Formation Religious Education: Thanks to each of you for picking up your children inside the school. I know that it is really hard for me to see cars in the dark so I can image it would be really , really hard for the children to see their parents’ car. We have begun working on Eucharist. There will be a letter going home to explain what will be happening next. There will be parent classes for you to attend and special instructions as far as picture taking and appropriate clothing choices. This will be done in English and in Spanish. It is very important that I receive Baptismal Certificates before First Communion. Communion If you are not sure if you have turned in your child's Baptismal Certificate, please see Miss Candy in the parish office. As we are awarding prizes for memorizing prayers, we have discovered that some children who have been in the program for the last three years need motivation to learn additional prayers and doctrine. There will be different prizes for accomplishing this. A note will be going home on Monday with explanations. RCIA: Thank you to Deacon Jerry and Trese Graddon for sharing their marriage story with us. We are very lucky to have such a shining example of Christ's love at work in this vocation. Next week we will be discussing the Eucharist. Please come and join us. All candidates and catechumens, please bring a copy of your baptismal certificate or birth certificate.

This year’s recipient is Greg Carroll. Greg Carroll attended and graduated from St. Philomena School in 1992. He is a graduate of Kennedy Catholic High School. Greg went to Western Washington University where he earned a degree in music and did his graduate work at the University of WA. Greg pursued his dream and became a well respected and renowned opera singer. Greg sang opera at the Lyric Opera of Chicago, the San Francisco Opera Center, the Los Angeles Opera, the Spokane Opera, the Seattle Opera, the Opera of Cleveland Ohio, with the Tacoma Symphony Orchestra and various other places throughout the United States. In addition, he has sung numerous concerts in Italy, Norway, Spain, France, Portugal, Germany, and Hungary and for such audiences as John Paul II and Pope Benedict XVI in Vatican City. Greg also had the immense pleasure of signing at the Metropolitan Opera in New York City, a true highlight for any opera singer. Sadly, Greg died on Tuesday, July 2, 2013 in Seattle, WA. Greg will always be remembered for his vibrant spirit and his beautiful voice. The award was presented to Greg’s father, Dean Carroll in Greg’s honor.
