Pastor’s Letter
Dear Parishioners:
We thank the volunteers who took the class (Safe and Environment) for protecting the children and those who are vulnerable
under our care (in various ministries). 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,

The Catechism of the Catholic Church defines Suicide as:
the willful taking of one’s own life;; a grievous sin against the 5th commandment. 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.

The “door of faith” is opened at one’s baptism, but during this year Catholics are called to open it again, walk through it and rediscover

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)

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.

Mission Statement: We, parishioners of St Ann Parish, are a Catholic faith community in the south end of Tacoma who
proclaim the Gospels and embrace our many cultures and the gifts we share. We come together as one faith community to
celebrate the Eucharist and the Sacraments. We are grateful to those who built this place of worship with faith, sacrifice and
sanctified it with their many years of devotion. We remain focused on our Roman Catholic traditions and promote an
environment of hope, where all can grow into the likeness of Christ.
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.

POPE FRANCIS MAKES A REQUEST
Weep not for what you have lost, fight for what you have.
Weep not for what is dead, fight for what was born in you.
Weep not for the one who abandoned you, fight for who is with you
Weep not for those who hate you, fight for those who want you.
Weep not for your past, fight for your present struggle.
Weep not for your suffering, fight for your happiness.
With things that are happening to us, we begin to learn that
nothing is impossible to solve, just move forward.
PRAY 1 HAIL MARY DAILY .
THE HOLY FATHER MAKES A REQUEST FOR PRAYERS
THAT GOD PROTECTS HIM AND GIVES HIM FORCES TO
MEET THIS DIFFICULT TASK ... SO BE IT!!

THE LAZARUS COMMITTEE
This group was formed to
help the Pastor with funeral arrangements in the
church. Members are long
time parishioneres: Chuck
Ross, Dixie Knoll, Claudia
Ehreth and Patty Pitch.
They will be happy to help
the families of the deceased, with their plans for
the services . They will
meet with them at the
rectory or their home.
They have the information
on the funeral mass, the
readings and all that intails. If need be , also help
with the music. Whatever
can be done to alleviate
the estress of that most
difficult of times for a
family.
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.

descubreson, senor, tus caminos
De nuestro Párroco Agradezco a los voluntarios que tomaron el entrenamiento llamados a proteger. Como también a los que vinieron a tomar la clase para renovarlo, por si no lo saben pueden tomarlo atreves del
internet cada ano. También agradezco a los que permitieron que se
les checara el record criminal para poder servir como voluntarios
en esta parroquia. Dedicamos mucho tiempo para poder checar y
poder trabajar en la seguridad para los que sirven en esta parroquia, pues queremos seguir los reglamentos de la Arquidiócesis
como también poder proveer un ambiente de seguridad en los diferentes ministerios en las actividades que se realizan en esta parroquia. Les agradezco por involucrarse y participar.
Les hago una cordial invitación para que visiten los diferentes ministerios, estoy asombrado de cómo cada parroquia disfrutan sus
actividades (poniendo energía, tiempo, como también ayudando
financieramente) aunque algunos se quejan, eso no resta el trabajo
que los demás hacen pues eso los hace tener un espíritu de vida; el
amor, el compromiso y el deseo de querer hacerlo es lo más importante para nosotros en este ano. Por favor involúcrense en los
diferentes ministerios si todavía no forman parte de uno. También
tenemos diferentes programas como por ejemplo Educación religiosa para adultos, RCIA, RCIC, Estudios bíblicos, confirmaciones, Clases pre-bautismales, Retiro litúrgico regional para ministros, preparación para el sacramento del matrimonio y otras actividades sociales que tenemos. Por favor lean el boletín regional o el
nuestra página de internet, encontraran la información que buscan
para involucrarse en cualquier actividad que gusten.
El personal de la oficina continua trabajando en el presupuesto
anual de la y lo encontraran en el boletín y en la pagina del internet para que lo puedan leer. My carta en el boletín semanal sirve
para compartir con ustedes las cosas que están sucediendo en las
parroquias, por eso tómense el tiempo necesario para leerlo todo,
encontraran mas información que les podrá interesar y se sentirán
orgullosos de su parroquia.
Les hago una invitación a los que todavía no se han inscrito para
el catecismo, no se pierdan esta maravillosa oportunidad para sus
hijos(as).
Felicidades a los niños que recibieron el sacramento del bautismo
el pasado 4 de Octubre, es un gozo para los padres que celebran
este sacramento con nuestra comunidad de fe. Que Dios les permita continuar siendo la Luz de Cristo mientras guían a sus hijos
atravesé de este camino de fe junto a ustedes!
Les agradezco por el compromiso de ser Padres Cristianos que
cuidan de sus hijos.
Sinceramente, suyos en Cristo

El Papa Francisco pone en guardia a los padres sinodales ante la
tentación, la codicia y la velada oposición al Señor
“Las Asambleas sinodales no sirven para discutir ideas brillantes y originales, o para ver quién es más inteligente... 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”.
