On Monday, February 23rd, our catechumen Anh Le,
along with his sponsor, was sent from our parish to St.
James Cathedral for the “ Rite of Election” for Archbishop
Sartain to declare him as an “Elect” chosen by God and to
acknowledge his desire to receive the Sacraments of
Initiation at this year’s Easter Vigil celebration.
The Archbishop will also recognize the baptized
candidates, Roniel Lashley and Beth Villano for their
desire to receive the Sacraments of Confirmation and
Eucharist within the Catholic community.
Please pray for our catechumen and candidates as they
continue their faith journey. Pray also for the RCIA team
members and sponsors for their gift of time and talent that
they share with our catechumen and candidates.
This year’s Fund-a-Need was toward beautifying the
school grounds.
At this time, we are also praying for our two young adults:
JDominique Cielo and Tri Huynh who are preparing for
the Sacrament of Confirmation in May.
Many thanks for your help in making this important
fundraiser such a huge success! Thanks also to Gretchen
Kurth and Martha McKenna for all their hard work in
chairing the event.
Please call for more information or inquiries about joining
the Catholic Church or receiving the Holy Sacraments.
If you know of any adults who wish to complete their
Sacrament of Initiation, please contact Jocelyn at the
Youth Office 253 833 5130 ext 205.
God bless, Miss Feeney, Principal

Mar. 2, Mon., 6:30– 8:00 PM for High School
Mar. 4, Wed., 6:30 – 7:45 PM for Junior High
For this Lenten season, may we always have the courage
to resist temptations, just like Jesus, when the opportunity
is presented to us. Let us make an effort to pray more,
fast, give alms and attend Sunday mass regularly with
your family so you can prepare yourself better for Easter.
Aside from giving up, we should learn to give more.
Please continue to participate in Operation Rice Bowl this
Lent to support CRS (Catholic Relief Service). They are
available in our Youthlife meetings and in the Church
vestibule. Don’t forget to bring them each weekend to
mass so you can drop your donation into the bigger Rice
Bowl box near the altar. It was great to see everyone after
the mid-winter break.

Weekly Updates from the Parish School of
Religion
Sunday February 22
This week’s theme for our preschool class was Thank You
God, for our Church. After listening to how Jesus’
followers did everything together and that we as the
followers of Jesus go to Church to pray, learn, and share
we headed on a little field trip to the chapel. It was the
perfect opportunity to let the little ones ask questions and
make observations about what they saw, as well as
practice sitting in a pew! When we returned to the
classroom we completed two crafts. The first was to make
a picture of a church using a white envelope glued onto
paper and then make popsicle stick people to fill the
church. During the second craft the kids decorated coffee
cans to use as drums in creating music of praise and
worship to God.
In the coming weeks of Lent I would like to provide activity
suggestions for families to do together to strengthen their
relationship with each other and God. Look for a new
focus each week and various ideas on how to observe
Lent at home.
Family Lenten Focus Week 2: Self-Control
This week focus on keeping your own wants and needs in
check.
Family Activity Suggestions for this week of Lent
A giving basket: Have children decorate an Easter basket.
Use the basket to collect extra change or money saved by
giving up something for Lent. Each week, donate the
contents to your church.
“Fast” food: Instead of going out to eat, share a simple
meal together, such as soup, at least once a week. Put
the money saved in your giving basket.
A spring “cleansing”: Too many things can clutter our
homes—and our spirits. As a family, go through your
home and collect clothes, toys, and other items that you
don’t need. Donate the items to help others.
Fasting for the planet: God has made us stewards of His
Creation. As a family-make a plan for using less energy,
conserving water and recycling more cans, bottles and
paper. –Make colorful reminders to post around the
house, such as “turn off” signs near light switches.
Second “helpings”: Share a family meal together. Instead
of having seconds, take a portion to a neighbor or church
member who is elderly or ill.
[Jesus] called the crowd with his disciples, and said to
them, “If any want to become my followers, let them deny
themselves and take up their cross and follow me…”
Mark 8:34
Pg. 4 March 1, 2015
“Praise to you Lord Jesus Christ, King of endless glory.”
Gospel Reflection
Mark 9:2-10
Gospel Summary
The closest we can come to understanding the
resurrection, is through the transfiguration of Jesus
described in today’s gospel. Only after the resurrection
could the three disciples understand what they saw that
day on the mountaintop. Peter, James, and John often
described as the inner circle of disciples, went with Jesus
to a mountain. Mountains were often the places of divine
revelations and the same voice that spoke at Jesus’
baptism, also spoke at the transfiguration instructing the
three to listen to Jesus, God’s Son. The disciples were
confused because as yet they did not understand the
resurrection. Instead they focused on the earthly glory of
Jesus and were not prepared for the suffering he
predicted.
Reflections for Families
The glory of God was revealed in the transfiguration of
Jesus. Even though we weren’t on the mountaintop to see
this wonder, parents are in a good position to understand
something about God’s glory. Since their conception, our
children show us the truth about the wonder of God.
There’s so much we don’t understand about their
formation and creation, but we are willing to accept the
development of their lives on faith. It is our faith in God
that helps us recognize the creation and growth of these
precious miracles. (@faithfirst.com)
