From the Archdiocese of Seattle:
"With great sadness, we bid farewell to our Holy Father, Pope Francis. But as Christians, we know that death is only the beginning of eternal life in Christ."
St. Matthew Church will be open from 9am until 3:30pm thru Friday for all who may wish to come and pray for the repose of the soul of Pope Francis.
Eternal rest grant to Pope Francis, O Lord and let perpetual light shine upon him. May his soul and all the souls of the faithfully departed rest in peace. Amen.
Fr. Ross will celebrate a Memorial Mass for Pope Francis on April 30th at 6pm at St. Mark Parish.
Season of Service: To celebrate its 175th anniversary, the Archdiocese of Seattle is calling all of us to volunteer together through the “Season of Service”. From March to May, the goal is to volunteer 175,000 hours to recognize our legacy of faith – and demonstrate our commitment to serving others.
- Catholic Community Services Volunteer Services is hosting multiple events in Seattle to help our low-income elderly and disabled neighbors. Visit https://archseattle.org/seasonofservice for more information.
If you plan to volunteer at any of those events posted on the Archdiocesan website or are currently engaged in volunteer activities that demonstrate service to others, please email [email protected]
Partners in the Gospel News--What’s happening in our Parish Family with Partners in the Gospel?
Lots of folks have been asking what is going on with our parish family. Actually, a lot has been happening behind the scenes, and it’s about to get a lot busier for all of us as we move forward.
Since last July, this has been a time of getting together to get to know each other. We did have one all parish Mass for the installation of our pastor Fr. Ross. We have had several opportunities to get acquainted, such as the crab feed at each parish, Simbang Gabi at St. Matthew, Jazz Walk at St. Mark, just to name a few. We currently have an opportunity to visit each other at our Wednesday night soup supper at St. Matthew, and our Friday night salmon bake at St. Mark. Both gatherings are preceded by Confessions and Stations of the Cross. What better way to gather for a meal than to prepare spiritually prior to the meal?
Many parishioners have attended Mass at both St. Mark and St. Matthew and have felt welcome at both places. There are some differences in liturgical expression, but the same Mass is celebrated.
As you see in the link above, the parish family school task force has been formed, to be led by Tom Martin. Tom is a parish family member. They will be looking at everything from curriculum to finances to facilities, all with an eye to how to ensure a vibrant sustainable school.
Fr. Ross will be inviting Parish members from both parishes to serve on the Parish Family Advisory Council (PFAC). This group will provide input to the pastor on parish family-level expenses, property decisions, and anything that impacts the future of the family as one faith community. Once PFAC membership is finalized, Fr. Ross will announce and introduce the members to both parishes.
In the future, we will be looking at how to create a single bulletin that encompasses the activities of both parishes. We are also exploring how to best communicate information to all of you.
We will be inviting people to some Parish Family 12 gatherings after Easter as we begin the work of defining “Who we Are” as one parish family. Look for the information in the bulletin, on our web site, and in an email. In the meantime, please continue to pray for our priests and our success as we become
One Family, United in Faith.
