Psalm 27 (26):7, 9
O Lord, hear my voice, for I have called to you; be my help.
Do not abandon or forsake me, O God, my Savior!

WELCOME
Saturday Vigil Mass Is Back – Volunteers Needed!
In order to support a second weekend Mass on a regular basis, more
volunteers are needed to assist Fr. Rick. Please contact the parish office if you
can resume your service as a liturgical minister – lector, altar server, greeter, etc.
Reservations are recommended for weekend Masses. To be assured a seat, please, reserve your place on the
website by Thursday. If you are unable to reserve online, call the parish office at 360.221.5383. Making a
reservation is much appreciated so that we can be certain to seat all who come. Masks are required.

A NOTE FROM THE PASTOR’S DESK
After many long months (Ash Wednesday was four months ago.), we are back into ordinary time. The color of
our worship space is now green but the name nor the color means that our worship has become mundane.
The word ordinary derives from the adjective ordinal, meaning counted time. Any Sunday that is not a
solemnity is counted. This is the eleventh Sunday of ordinary time, which doesn’t often happen since it can be
eclipsed by a post Easter solemnity. With the exception of the feast of the Assumption on August 15, every
Sunday will be ordinary until the feast of Christ the King.
It is tempting to minimize the significance of the Sunday Mass since the Archbishop has excused us from the
obligation to attend Mass during the pandemic. The dispensation remains in place but if you have been
vaccinated, I urge you to come and give yourself the opportunity to
not only pray and receive the Eucharist but also to greet your fellow
parishioners. Think of the Mass as an opportunity to be rejuvenated
by the Word of God and the Blessed Sacrament, which affords you
the grace to live your baptismal promises the rest of the week.
Weeks ago, I lifted the requirement for making reservations. If
possible, do make them so that your name can be entered on the
sign-up sheet. We are still maintaining a registry of attendants until
further notice. If you didn’t register, come anyway. We have yet to
turn anyone away. Many parishioners I have not seen since the
pandemic started, but once they start returning, we will adapt
accordingly. Once the archdiocese dispenses the obligation for
social distancing and allowing for coffee socials, I plan to return the
pews to the church so that the hall can be used again for coffee
socials. Hopefully that will happen this summer.
In case you haven’t heard, Mass is now being offered on Saturday at
5:00pm and Sunday at 9:00am. Confessions anytime by appointment.
