Pastor’s Letter
Dear Parishioners,
We thank many of you who have returned your Stewardship commitment card to the parish office, so we
can plan our parish ministry (your commitment to assist the parish’s programs, activities, and ministries
that we are committed to offer as our parish mission and to serve others). We are counting on your commitment to support our parish’s ministry. The Financial Council from each parish will assist me (as your
Pastor) to work on the budget according to the information you have provided (your commitment) for the
year to come. I meet with the Financial Council each month to review the financial support received
from you, so we can determine whether we have sufficient support to carry on with the operation that we
have planned to do or reduce/cease the ministry or organization that we have (due to insufficient support received), so we can have a
balanced budget. I met with the Financial Council of Sacred Heart Parish last Wednesday to finalize their budget for this year. Sacred
Heart has a major project of demolishing the old school building and needs to find a way to build a new building in its place for our parish activities. So, I encourage those who have not completed a commitment card for your stewardship to support our parish to please
complete one and return it to the parish office or you can drop it in the collection basket when you attend weekend Masses, so we have
this information to plan on all the different events for our parish throughout the year which is made possible by having a good budget to
support them.
We are very happy to assist the Vocation Office to host the event to have Archbishop Peter at St. John of the Woods’ Church’s Hall last
Saturday to have a meal with parents of seminarians to thank them for encouraging their sons to respond to God’s call to the priesthood
vocation. Father Bryan D. is the vocation director who organized this Thanksgiving event (having Archbishop and parents of seminarians gather for this wonderful event in our parish hall). We thank you for your prayers for vocations and for supporting seminarians who
come to be with us for the summer. They enjoy the time they are with us each summer.
We sent out a Thank You letter to those who have turned in their commitment card and a follow up letter to those who have not yet
done so, to ask them to participate in the Sacrificial Giving to support our parish ministries. You do not want your parish office to
spend unnecessary cost on postal stamps and to have to keep sending out a reminder letter to your home to ask you to make a commitment. So, please fill in a commitment card on what you can support your parish with for this year and return it to the parish office or
place it in the collection basket. We need your information and your commitment to do God’s work to serve you and others.
The annual report for each parish is posted on our regional parishes’ website for those who have not received this information sent to
your home or do not attend regular Sunday Masses. The parish office needs you to update your home address so we can send information to your home. We are trying to post information about our parishes’ activities on our website. We also have all the presentation
from the Stewardship or/and the Sacrificial Giving Campaign posted. Please check in with the parish’s events and information on its
website so you can join us and be active with your parish life.
We met with the parish leadership at Sacred Heart’s Church with the Fund Raising and Building Committees to discuss the progress on
the project of the old school building. I have asked the parish secretary to share this project’s progress on the parish bulletin and website, so you know what is going on with it. As you know, we heavily depend on our parish volunteers and others (i.e. construction company and the City of Tacoma) to support us to work on this project. This project requires all of us to be involved to make it possible, so
your participation is very important. It is a dream, which can become reality for all of us who believe and make it happen. There will
be a lot of work being done at end of this month around the parking lot, so we ask you to be patient and support what is being done.
We met with the parish leadership at St. John of the Woods’ Church. We are working on the project of installing some lights and carpet
in two rooms in the second floor of the old rectory, which is the parish office at this time. We will be hosting seminarians who will be
with us for their summer school and to obtain some parish ministry experience in our regional parishes. We want to provide a warm
and welcoming place for them, so they can have a good experience with us. I also need to have a warm and welcoming office to welcome you when you come to meet with your Pastor and your priest who serves you. We thank you for your continued support of your
parish.
We also met with the parish leadership at St. Ann’s Church to hear the report on the transition of the use of the parish old school building. We had shared this building with the Catholic Community Services (CCS) for a number of years and they have relocated to a new
location (they are now called the Catholic Authority Network Services). We are using the old school building for our parish’s ministries
and activities. There are many different groups and organizations using it also at this time. Our volunteers have assisted us to clean it
and we are working on the budget to make sure this building will be well maintained. We thank all different parish ministries and
groups for their patience in working with the transition team. We are all volunteers, so we can only assist with the limited time that we
have on various projects. You are welcome to assist us in the area that you are able to help. We deeply appreciate you on what you can
offer to the parish.
Your engagement and participation in the parish ministry and activity is very important for your parish. Thank you for your commitment and your support to our parish. May the Lord continue to bless upon you and your family! Happy Thanksgiving Day to your family. Please come to join us for the Thanksgiving Mass to Thank God for God’s entire blessing to us and our country!

CCD School Announcement:
Our CCD students at St. Ann’s and at St. John of the Woods are
preparing for the Christmas Pageant.
Dear Father Tuan:
Thank you very much for the nice blessing you gave us during our
last Mass at St. John of the Woods - we truly appreciate it!
We also appreciated the several years we were parishioners at St.
John of the Woods. And a big part of our appreciation was the
chance to have you as the Pastor. You are a genuinely nice person
and are a very hard worker. We were regularly amazed at the
schedule you have to maintain for St. John of the Woods and the
other regional parishes. We also appreciated how welcoming you
were to all our Guide Dog puppies.
In appreciation for all that you have done for us and St. John of the
Woods. You are truly a blessing from God.
Thanks again for everything!
Sincerely,
Herb & Sherry Brooks

Mortal versus Venial Sin
ST. ANN:
8:30am - 7:00pm Thursdays
5pm - 7pm Tuesdays Divine Mercy & Mass (Samoan Comm.)
7:00pm Fridays Mass (Vietnamese Language)
by Barbara & Clarence Leingang
The Catechism of the Catholic Church defines the difference between Mortal and Venial sin. Mortal sin is a grave infraction of
the law of God that destroys the divine life in the soul of the sinner (Sanctifying Grace), constituting a turning away from God.
Venial sin is a sin which does not destroy the divine life in the
soul, as does mortal sin, though it diminishes and wounds it.
Mortal sin is the knowing and willful violation of God’s law in a
serious matter; for example: idolatry, adultery, murder, and slander. This sin can be both interior (choice of the will alone) or
exterior (choice of the will carried into action). Mortal means the
“spiritual” death of the soul or separation from God. Grace or the
supernatural life is lost and if we die without repenting we will
lose God for eternity. Our hearts can be turned back to Him by
receiving the sacrament of Penance. Catholics cannot receive
Communion if they have unconfessed Mortal sins. Venial sins
are “slight” sins. They involve disobedience of the law of God in
venial matters. Sometimes a person may have committed a venial sin without reflection or under force of habit. Thus, not fully
intending the action or sin, their guilt before God is reduced. For
sin to be mortal it must be a 1. Serious matter, 2. The person must
know it is serious and 3. Free consent of the will to commit it.
Both categories of sin are mentioned in Sacred Scripture. In the
OT there were categories that merited the death penalty and sins
that could be expiated by an offering. This gave foundation to
the NT in which these material categories are replaced by spiritual ones. As Catholics we are encouraged to pray daily for forgiveness of our daily faults. Refer to Mt 6:12; Proverbs 24:16; 1

God Gives it All and then Calls Us to Share
We deeply appreciate you for returning your commitment card to support
our parishes with your financial support. We thank you for responding to the parish
and supporting her mission. We thank the Stewardship Committee for assisting us in
promoting it for this year. Pledges will start on Jan. 1, 2015. If you have not returned a card as of yet, please
prayerfully consider how God would have you support the ministries at your parish. We appreciate your support and help.
Do you know our volunteers?
Here is volunteer Patty Pitsch at Sacred Heart parish. She has been instrumental in all of her life. Her mother and
dad were the first couple married here and her grandmother led the drive to petition Bishop O’Dea to form a parish
in this area. The family moved to the foot of Mt. Rainier and lived there for eighteen year. They moved back in
1935, so Patty has been a member since 1935. She was married in the old church (hall) in 1950. She and her husband Dean graduated from Sacred Heart school, as did her six children. Three of her children were married here
and one of her fifteen grandchildren was baptized here as was her husband. She was involved in all the past clubs,
parish councils, bazaars, bus trips and all that kept parishioners together and help it flourish. Now in her later year, she is still with Altar
society, lector for over twenty years, Lazarus Committee for funerals, collection counting and taking St. Vincent’s calls at the rectory.
She feels her life has been blessed with a wonderful family, healthy grandchildren and great grandchildren. All thanks goes to a loving
father and our living Sacred Heart.
We truly appreciate her dedication and effort. Thank you for volunteering your time and talent. Thank you for your joyful service and may
God continue to bless you and your family.
November 24: St. Andrew Dung-Lac and Companions
The Vietnamese Martyrs, Andrew Dung-Lac and Companions are saints on the General Roman Calendar who were
canonized by Pope John Paul II. On June 19, 1988, thousands of Overseas Vietnamese worldwide gathered at the
Vatican for the Celebration of the Canonization of 117 Vietnamese Martyrs, an event chaired by Monsignor Tran
Van Hoai. Their memorial is on November 24 although several of these saints have another memorial, as they were
beatified and on the calendar prior to the canonization of the group.
The Vatican estimates the number of Vietnamese martyrs at between 130,000 and 300,000. John Paul II decided to
canonize those whose names are known and unknown, giving them a single feast day.
The Vietnamese Martyrs fall into several groupings, those of the Dominican and Jesuit missionary era of the 17th century, those killed in
the politically inspired persecutions of the 19th century, and those martyred during the Communist purges of the 20th century. A 117 martyrs were 96 Vietnamese, 11 Spanish Dominicans, and 10 French members of the Paris Foreign Missions Society. A young Vietnamese
Martyr, Andrew Phú Yên, was beatified in March, 2000 by Pope John
Paul II made the total 118 Vietnamese Martyrs.
Happy Feast Day
To the 4:00 P.M Choir who choose the
Vietnamese Martyrs as their Patron Saints.

We talk a lot about ministries and
unfortunately one ministry that doesn’t
get mentioned is the preparation of our
monthly breakfast, that is prepared by
the Tom Cruz Family.
They donate a lot of time and talent in
providing our parish with a delicious
breakfast the first Sunday of each month
from October through June.
This past weekend Tom and his family gave of their time and talent to prepare a “special” breakfast for our Youth
Group so that they could take part in the
breakfast and earn some money for their
special programs.
The breakfast was very well attended
and hopefully, the Youth Group was able
to come away with funds to assist them in
their needs.
Many thanks to Tom and his family
for giving of their Time & Talent and for
being so generous in giving up their Sunday to support the Youth Group of our
parish. Thank you also to those who
attended the breakfast and contributed to
the support of our Youth Group.
Time—Talent—Treasure

solemnidad de cristo rey
23 de noviembre 2014
el senor es mi pastor nada me falta
De nuestro Párroco
Reciban mi saludo en este fin de semana! Agradezco a todos los que ya regresaron a la
oficina su tarjeta de compromiso de la Campaña de Corresponsabilidad, de esta manera
podremos planear los programas y actividades de los diferentes ministerios que ofrece
nuestra parroquia para server en nuestra misión a otros. Contamos con tu compromiso y
ayuda en los ministerios parroquiales; puedes entregar tu tarjeta de compromiso en la
oficina, enviarla por correo, o en la canasta de la colecta El comité financiero de cada
parroquia me ayudara a trabajar en presupuesto de acuerdo a la información basada en
el compromiso que ustedes hagan para el próximo año.
Hemos enviado una carta de agradecimiento aquellos que ya regresaron su tarjeta de
compromiso y enviaremos otra carta a los que todavía no lo han hecho, como también
haremos llamadas telefónicas para animar a la participación en esta campana que es de
mucha importancia para nuestros ministerios parroquiales. Usted no querrá que la oficina
gaste en papel y timbres recordándole cada vez de este compromiso, por eso les pido
que por favor complete la tarjeta y decida cuál será su contribución para el próximo año.
Mensualmente reúno con el comité financiero para revisar las finanzas de la colecta, así
poder determinar si tenemos fondos para poder llevar a cabo los planes que tenemos en
mente, o reducir los gastos dependiendo de la ayuda monetaria que recibimos así tendremos un presupuesto balanceado. El pasado miércoles hablamos sobre la demolición del
edificio de la escuela, como también de encontrar la manera de construir uno Nuevo pues
es necesario para las diferentes actividades.
Me siento muy contento por haber participado en el evento para las vocaciones hospiciado por el Señor Arzobispo Peter Sartain en San Juan del Bosque el pasado sábado compartiendo en una comida con los seminaristas como agradecimiento por alentar a sus
hijos a responder al llamado de Dios a la vocación sacerdotal. El Padre Brian Dolejsi es el
director de vocaciones y fue quien organizo este evento. Gracias por sus oraciones y el
apoyo a los seminaristas que estuvieron con nosotros el verano pasado.
En nuestra página de internet encontrara el reporte anual de las tres parroquias de nuestra región como también encontrara la presentación de la campana de corresponsabilidad o la campana de Mayordomía por aquellos que no pueden asistir regularmente a
misa el fin de semana. Por favor busque en nuestra página por los eventos que se llevan
a cabo en las diferentes parroquias y pueda unirse a las actividades en la vida parroquial,
encontrara mucha información.
Me reuní con los líderes del comité de recaudación de fondos para la reconstrucción de el
edificio de la escuela para discutir sobre este dicho proyecto, le pedí a la secretaria de la
oficina que publicara este reporte en el boletín de la parroquia y en la página de internet
para que estén informados de lo que está pasando. Como todos ustedes ya saben dependemos mucho del trabajo voluntario comenzando por la compañía constructora que nos
ha ofrecido su ayuda para la demolición del edificio. Este proyecto requiere que todos nos
involucremos para que se pueda llevar a cabo, tu ayuda es muy importante, es un sueño
que podemos hacer realidad con la ayuda de todos los que se involucren; habrá mucho
trabajo para el final de este mes en el área del estacionamiento, les pido mucha paciencia
y que también nos apoyen en este proyecto
Tu compromiso y participación en la los ministerios y actividades son muy importantes
para la parroquia. Gracias por tu ayuda y compromiso, que nuestro Señor continúe bendiciendo a ti y tu familia!
Que pasen un feliz día de Gracia con sus familias, por favor acompáñennos en la celebración eucarística el día de Gracias será una bendición para toda la nación los horarios
aparecen en este boletín en la pagina 8.
Atentamente, suyos en Cristo,
