Palm Sunday—The Passion of the Lord
Dear Parishioners:
With the blessing of palms, the Church begins its observance of Holy
Week when we recall the central mysteries of our Catholic faith. On
Holy Thursday, we recall the institution of the Eucharist at the Last Supper and the
institution of priestly service with the washing of the feet. The Holy Thursday service
begins at 7:30 PM followed by exposition until 9:30 PM. A collection is also taken up
on Holy Thursday for the needy of our parish community which helps to supplement
the work of the St. Vincent de Paul Society. On Good Friday, we celebrate the
passion and death of Christ at 3:00 PM. Over the years, I have found that more people
come at an earlier hour than later at night. On Palm Sunday, we will read the Passion
of Mark and on Good Friday, we will read the Passion of John. After the reading of
the passion, we have veneration of the cross. Communion follows the veneration, and
the ministers and people leave quietly. Once again the altar is stripped as it was on
Holy Thursday. On Holy Saturday, we will have a practice for the Easter Vigil at
9:30 AM followed by confessions at 11:00 AM. We are the only parish to offer
confessions on Holy Saturday in the region. Please note there is no 3:30 PM confession and no 5:00 PM Saturday mass. At 7:30 PM we will celebrate the Easter Vigil
and welcome into the church the newly baptized and the candidates for full communion into the church. The men and women, who have participated in the RCIA, will be
baptized, confirmed, and receive Eucharist for the first time. Please remember them in
prayer in the coming week.
Holy Week is the climax of our Lenten observance. I realize how busy many of you
are. However, I encourage you to take some time during the week to pray and reflect
on the fundamental mysteries of your Catholic faith. On Easter Sunday, we will
collectively celebrate new life: the new life of the risen Christ, the new life of the
baptized, and the renewal of life which hopefully has taken place within each of us.
With Easter and new beginnings, you cannot return to your old habits. Christ died and
rose to new life so that each of us could experience new birth and new hope.
Remember, Easter Sunday is like Christmas. We have some Catholics who come
twice a year: Christmas and Easter. The Easter morning masses are very full. I encourage you to come early. After the 9:00 AM mass, the Youth Group is sponsoring an
Easter Egg Hunt for children.
Lastly, please turn in your RICE BOWLS if you participated in this year’s program.
You can leave them in the sacristy, give them to an usher, or drop them off at the
Pastoral Center.
Sincerely yours in Christ,
Confessions:

The Council advises on the budget, prepares an annual report, and reviews capital purchases. A background in accounting, financial planning or human resources is
helpful to serve on the Council. If you are interested, please contact Fr. Haydock.

This Week’s Stewardship Note—Today is Palm Sunday of the Lord’s Passion.
Jesus said, “Let her alone. She has done what
she could.”
Mark 14:6-8 abbreviated
This is the Anointing at Bethany. In John, a similar scene
has Mary the sister of Martha and Lazarus anointing Jesus
feet in their home in Bethany. In Mark a mysterious unnamed woman interrupts dinner at the home of Simon the
leper, pouring a jar of very expensive ointment on Jesus’
head, setting the disciples into a fit of indignation for the
poor over the waste.
As always, Jesus has a different point of view. He blesses
this unknown woman for understanding a situation that the
disciples do not want to understand: he is going to die. She
shows her love and devotion for him while the disciples
are in denial. Most important, he blesses her for doing
what she can.
The love of Jesus is played out in small acts of compassion
on a daily basis. As stewards of the Church, let us do what
we can.
Many activities are scheduled in Lent to deepen your
experience of the season. Every Wednesday night at 6PM
is Soup Night. You are invited to donate the money you
saved with this simple meal to Rice Bowl. Fish Fridays
have been wonderful community meals. Finally, Deacon
Ray has begun teaching contemplative prayer on everyother Tuesday at 9AM and 6:30PM. Next session is April
7th. People new to the experience are finding it overwhelmingly beautiful.
Thank you to all who attended the auction! As always it
was a great celebration of our school!
Save the Date! The 4th Annual Multicultural Mass and
Lunch will be May 31st! This year we will be celebrating
the cultures of Asia. If your cultural heritage comes from
Korea, China, Vietnam, the Philippines, India or other
Asian cultures, and you would like to help organize the
event, please email or call me.
I am looking for help with stewardship efforts, in particular, photographers, writers, and those adept at social
media marketing.
Many people whose social security numbers were stolen
in last year’s national tax fraud are finding that the IRS
has done nothing to try to identify fraudulent tax refund
claims. To simplify your life it is advisable to file your
taxes early before the bad guys do, whether you were
victimized last year or not.
If you have been victimized, please let the Archdiocese
know by emailing them at [email protected]. A recent letter from the
Archdiocese is at http://www.seattlearchdiocese.org/
Assets/ARCH/5750_LeadershipJan14.pdf. The main
useful information:
If you believe that you are the victim of tax fraud for the
2014 year, you may want to consider filing a new IRS
Form 14039. Keep in mind that filing of Form 14039 will
likely cause processing time for your tax return to be
longer and refunds will take longer to process. Again, the
best approach is to file early.
If you or your parishioners received an IP PIN, it must be
used to file a tax return in 2014. If you want to request an
IP PIN to protect yourself, you can visit the IRS’s Get An
IP PIN on its website. The process may take time, and
because these IP PINs are in high demand, may not result
in your timely receipt of an IP PIN. If you file early, and
then subsequently receive an IP PIN, you may be required
to refile using the IP PIN. http://www.irs.gov/

ADULT FAITH FORMATION: The Pray Always Group meets again after Easter, Tuesday April 7th at 9AM or
6:30PM. The task is to support you in your prayer, and grow in your relationship with God.
The Bible study on Matthew’s Gospel concluded on March 19th. However, we’ll begin a study of the Psalms, the school of
prayer April 9th. As in the past there will be two sessions on Thursdays, at 9AM and 6:30PM. If you missed Matthew
think about getting into the Bible study groove with the Psalms. Psalms has been the school of prayer for countless saints
and Christians, and give you an in-depth experience of prayer.
We still need couples to volunteer as marriage mentor couples. If you’re in a happy marriage and were to volunteer, your
help would be greatly appreciated. The mentoring workbooks and video are excellent and easy to use. Plus, I’ll see that
you have a good orientation to the process so you can feel confident when you work with a couple. If you feel called in
your heart to this ministry to model Christian marriage to an engaged couple, contact me at 425-977-4549 or at
[email protected].

Daily Prayer This Week
MARRIAGE & FAMILY LIFE
Take Time, Make Time for Your
Marriage. Children, young and old,
This is the week we call “Holy” because it is a
memorial of God's saving deeds for us in Jesus.
There is a solemn nature to this week. We might be
tempted to be sad or conflicted this week. It is not
easy to get close to the reality that we are sinners
and our Lord and Savior went through this betrayal, suffering and death for us. So, sometimes, we
avoid looking at this week closely, and praying
with it, because we fear getting into our guilt.
need to see their parents take loving time
together. You don’t need a great deal of
time, but no relationship can exist without taking time to nurture that relationship. What
greater relationship is there for your family, your
faith community and our world than your strong
marriage where we can all witness the love that our
Lord Jesus asks of us? If you don’t make the time
for each other it simply will not happen.
The invitation this week is to come closer to the
reality of God's profound love for us. Yes, we are
all sinners. But, we are loved sinners. We are being
invited to be grateful, not to beat our breasts. We
are invited, in this spirit to feel all that we can feel
this week. Yes, we will feel some discomfort after all, we feel discomfort when anyone puts
themselves through some sacrifice for us. And, the
sacrifice here is the gift of his very self - so that we
might always know how completely Jesus entered
into the reality of our human existence - “even
death, death on a cross.” [Phil. 2:6-9]
Make your Marriage a Priority this Lenten
Season: It’s not too late to focus on something positive this Lent — making your marriage everything God intended it to be. Retrouvaille
can help you rediscover your spouse and
move forward in a more positive and loving
way. For confidential information about, or
to register for our upcoming program beginning
April 24-26, 2015, call 206-706-2608 or visit our
website at www.HelpOurMarriage.com.
This week we follow our ongoing pattern of
connecting with our Lord, as early as we can each
morning. For even a few moments we name our
desire: “Lord, let me be with you this week and
open my heart to feel what you want me to feel
about your love for me, personally.” Then,
throughout the day, in many background, inbetween moments, we can continue our brief
conversations with our Lord as we relate this desire
with the people and events of our day. Finally,
each night, we can pause, perhaps before a crucifix, or placing ourselves in our imagination before
the cross, and speaking to our Lord, friend to
friend, the gratitude we feel for the gift of mercy
and eternal life his love has gained for us.
Hope and Healing After Abortion
Each night this week, we can give thanks. The
closer we get to celebrating Holy Week and the
events that brought us our salvation, each of us can
express our gratitude, realizing this was all for me.

Thank You from the Blood Center: WOW! Sunday was so, so busy!! If fact, it was your busiest drive yet and we
are so, so grateful to all of the heroes that came to the blood drive to offer their health and support to the patients
in our community! Our blood inventories have been low since the holidays and your drive was just what the blood
supply needed.
38 amazing donors came to the blood drive on Sunday and they donated an incredible 25 units of blood. That is as
many as 75 lives saved right here in our community – WOW! Thank you again for all that you do!
LAST RITES vs. VIATICUM: We still receive requests for last rites. People often wait until a person is about to
die before they call the parish. With a priest’s schedule today, it is hard to guarantee a priest will be available. The
church has changed its understanding of the sacrament. Instead of waiting until a person is about die, the church
encourages people to celebrate the sacrament while they are still alert and can participate in it. The church has replaced “last rites” with viaticum, or last communion. Any Eucharistic minister can offer viaticum to a dying person. However, sometimes at the end, people cannot swallow, so it would not be good to offer communion to them.
Please call the parish if someone is sick so we can schedule an anointing.
OUTREACH
St. Vincent de Paul Food Bank: So
many families needing SVDP's help. The
food we give them allows them to use their
money to pay rent, utilities, etc. Presently
the Food Bank needs canned baked beans,
canned hams, cooking oil, canned fruit, and cold
cereal. Thank you for all of your donations!
Please remember to pray for our elect and
candidates who will celebrate the Easter
Sacraments. If you wish to write notes to
welcome them, they may be brought to
the Parish office by April 3rd.
MISSION CARNIVAL NEEDS: Our annual
Mission Carnival is on May 3rd. We
need new or gently used stuffed animals
and small prizes. If you can contribute,
