Dear Friends in Christ,

Please join me in congratulating the children of our parish who received their First Holy Communion at our Mass on Saturday afternoon. It is a great moment of joy for their families and for our parish as we welcome these children to the table of the Lord.

Next Sunday we welcome seminarian Chad Hill who will speak at all of the Masses. Chad is studying at Mt. Angel Seminary and will be thanking the parish for our support of the Annual Catholic Appeal, which supports our seminarians who are studying for the priesthood as well as so many important ministries here in our Archdiocese. Thank you in advance for your support of this year’s Annual Appeal.

One of the very important ministries here in our parish are our lay Catholic Eucharistic Ministers who serve those who are homebound and hospitalized in our community. We are currently in need a few more Eucharistic Ministers to serve at Legacy Salmon Creek Medical Center. If you are interested in serving in this very rewarding ministry, please contact the Spiritual Care Department at the hospital: (360) 487-3440. Let me know of your intention to volunteer so that I can provide a letter of recommendation. Spiritual Care volunteer orientation and training will take place in May.

Easter joy+

Queridos amigos en Cristo,

Por favor, acompáñenme en felicitar a los niños de nuestra parroquia que recibieron su Primera Comunión en nuestra Misa el sábado por la tarde. Es un gran momento de alegría para sus familias y para nuestra parroquia al dar la bienvenida a estos niños a la mesa del Señor.

El próximo domingo daremos la bienvenida al seminarista Chad Hill, quien hablará en todas las Misas. Chad está estudiando en el Seminario de Mt. Angel y agradecerá a la parroquia por nuestro apoyo a la Campaña Católica Anual, que apoya a nuestros seminaristas que están estudiando para el sacerdocio, así como a tantos ministerios importantes aquí en nuestra Arquidiócesis. Gracias de antemano por su apoyo a la Campaña Anual de este año.

Uno de los ministerios más importantes aquí en nuestra parroquia son nuestros Ministros Eucarísticos Católicos laicos que sirven a aquellos que están confinados en casa y hospitalizados en nuestra comunidad. Actualmente necesitamos otros ministros de la Eucaristía para servir en el Centro Médico Legacy Salmon Creek. Si está interesado en servir en este ministerio tan gratificante, comuníquese con el Departamento de Atención Espiritual del hospital: (360) 487-3440. Déjeme saber su intención de ser voluntario para que pueda proporcionar una carta de recomendación. La orientación y capacitación de voluntarios de Cuidado Espiritual se llevará a cabo en mayo.

Alegría de Pascua +

Padre Tom
