                             The Return to Public Masses– updated 6/5/2020
In conjunction with the Archdiocese of Seattle and the State of Washington, we are working hard on our plan to have public
Masses.
There is criteria that must be meet in terms of compliance with the guidelines set by the Archdiocese of Seattle and the whole
staff at St. Elizabeth is coming together to make sure that when we do have public Masses we will meet or exceed all of the
requirements.
In looking ahead, there is no official start date for us to resume public Masses at our Parish, but please watch our website and
our Facebook page for updates. Father Jose is working on a video that will be posted on both of those sites that will explain
our new, temporary way of having public Masses.
Please pray for everyone who is working to bring our Parish into compliance!

When we do reopen, please expect the following temporary changes:
--We will have 4 Masses each weekend, 5pm Saturday, 9am Sunday, 1pm Sunday in Spanish and 5pm Sunday
--Seating will be limited to 50 people at each Mass, including infants and children.
--Mass attendance will be by Reservation Only. Information on that will be coming soon.
--All seating will be in the Fellowship Hall to allow for Social Distancing.
--Online giving will still be encouraged.

PLEASE NOTE: THE OBLIGATION TO ATTEND MASS HAS BEEN WAIVED. MASSES WILL CONTINUE TO BE LIVE STREAMED.

                          El Regreso a Las Misas Públicas: actualizado 6/5/2020
En colaboración con la Arquidiócesis de Seattle y el Estado de Washington, estamos trabajando arduamente en nuestro
plan de apertura para tener Misas públicas.
Hay requisitos que debemos cumplir para estar de acuerdo con las pautas establecidas por la Arquidiócesis de Seattle.
Todo el personal de Sta. Elizabeth está trabajando junto para asegurarse de que cuando tengamos Misas públicas
cumplamos o excedamos con todos los requisitos.
En este momento no podemos dar fecha de inicio oficial para la apertura de las Misas públicas en nuestra parroquia,
pero por favor siga nuestro sitio web y nuestra página de Facebook para recibir actualizaciones. El padre José está
trabajando en un video que se publicará en ambos sitios que explicará nuestra nueva forma temporal de tener Misas
públicas.
¡Oren por todos los que están trabajando para la reapertura de nuestra parroquia!

Cuando volvamos a abrir, espere los siguientes cambios temporales:

-    Tendremos 4 misas cada fin de semana, 5pm sábado, 9am domingo, 1pm domingo en español y 5pm domingo
-    Los asientos se limitarán a 50 personas en cada misa, incluidos bebés y niños.
-    La asistencia será solo por reservación. La información sobre como reservar estará disponible pronto.
-    Los asistentes tomarán asiento en el Salón Parroquial para facilitar el distanciamiento social.
    Le sugerimos que sigan con las donaciones en línea.

Dear Parishioners,

Greetings! I am very pleased to announce that we have a new Youth Minister. Please, help me to welcome Kianna
Garmanian, a member of our parish. Maybe you know her. She started the young adult group called RISE. We believe that
Kianna will do a great job. She is very charismatic and has a spirit for the youth. Her faith and spirituality will be a great
asset for our youth and parish community. Fr. Jesus and Kianna will be working together to develop the programs for our
youth according to the new reality we are living today. Please, pray for them.

Fr. Jose Ugalde, MSpS

Estimados Feligreses,

¡Saludos! Me complace anunciarles que ya tenemos un nuevo Coordinador de Jóvenes. Por favor, démosles la bienvenida a
Kianna Garmanian; ella es miembro de nuestra parroquia. Quizá algunos de ustedes ya la conocen. Ella inició el grupo de
jóvenes adultos con el nombre de RISE. Creemos que Kianna hará un gran trabajo. Es muy carismática y le encanta trabajar
con los jóvenes. Su fe y espiritualidad serán de gran beneficio para los jóvenes y para nuestra comunidad. El P. Jesús y
Kianna trabajarán juntos en el desarrollo de nuevos programas para nuestros jóvenes de acuerdo con la nueva realidad que
estamos viviendo en este tiempo. Por favor, recen por ellos.

P. Jose Ugalde, MSpS

To my St. Elizabeth Ann Seton Parish family- My name is Kianna Garmanian, and I am thrilled to be the new
youth minister for our parish. I have been a parishioner at this parish for about 12 years now, so I feel so
blessed to serve in this position for such a vibrant, loving, and welcoming community, and help lead our youth
closer to the Heart of Jesus. This past year, I formed and led the Young Adult group at our parish, RISE, and
have been involved in ministry and Church leadership for about 6 years. A month ago, in May of 2020, I
graduated from St. Martin’s University in Lacey, Washington, where I was actively involved in Campus
Ministry as a student leader. Please pray for me as I step into this new role, along with all our youth and
volunteers. Be assured of my prayers for each of you. God Bless!
