Ministry to the Forgotten
Submitted by web.editor on Sun, 2014-04-20 14:52By Jim Haley
For nearly a decade and a half, Chuck Olson trekked once a month to the Monroe prison complex to visit inmates who were nearing the ends of their sentences.
That was the genesis of a more recent program that would start Chuck and several of his grown children on a mission to give released prisoners a fighting chance to become productive citizens with gainful employment.
Pastor's Weekly Letter 4-20-2014: The Pastor Returns With Thanks
Submitted by web.editor on Sun, 2014-04-20 14:43Easter Sunday
Dear Parishioners:
As we celebrate the great feast of Christianity, our belief that Christ rose from the dead, the day provides all of us with renewed hope. The people of Israel had endured a great deal in their lives. Christ’s message offered them hope for the future. However, when they witnessed his death, that hope was shattered. When he rose from the dead and appeared to the disciples and the others, they found hope once again.
ID Theft: The IRS Collects Evidence
Submitted by web.editor on Sat, 2014-04-12 17:54By John Russell
In the wake of the tax fraud resulting from the theft of social security numbers of employees and volunteers in the Archdiocese, the IRS had seven agents at the gathering on April 2 in the Church, interviewing victims and collecting Identity Theft Victim Interview forms. They were also interested in other evidence, such as refund checks or prepaid debit cards not due to the taxpayers who received them or IRS letters or bank inquiries to individuals who do not reside at the address where they were received.
Pastor's Weekly Letter 4-13-2014: Meditations on the Passion
Submitted by web.editor on Sat, 2014-04-12 17:46Fourth Sunday of Lent
Dear Parishioners:
This Holy week we hear the passion account of Matthew on Sunday and the passion account of John on Friday. They are wonderful accounts with crowd scenes, villains and heroes, graphic details, terrible betrayals, and first rate drama. Most of all I wouldn’t want to miss a bit of it. I trust that you will be likewise drawn into the reading of the events both to wonder and pray as I am.
Pastor's Weekly Letter 4-6-2014: The Power of God to Raise Us Up
Submitted by web.editor on Sun, 2014-04-06 08:11Fourth Sunday of Lent
Dear Parishioners:
Evidently, some faith struggles don’t change much, whether in our day or the time of Jesus.
Raising a dead person back to life seemed impossible to those around Jesus. His apostles were puzzled that he delayed his arrival at Lazarus’ home, and then expressed concern about walking into danger outside Jerusalem if Lazarus were truly dead. Later, at Bethany, people in the crowd said, “Could the one who opened the eyes of the blind not have done something?”

Pastor's Weekly Letter 3-30-2014: The Blind See But the Seeing Do Not
Submitted by web.editor on Sat, 2014-03-29 16:58Fourth Sunday of Lent
Dear Parishioners:
In today’s Gospel Jesus declares, “I came into this world for judgment, so that those who do not see might see, and those who do see might become blind.” This saying is in line with the Lord’s pointing out to Samuel in today’s first reading that he was choosing David and not Jesse’s other sons because, “Not as man sees does God see, because man sees the appearance but the Lord looks into the heart.”
Meeting on Tax Fraud
Submitted by web.editor on Sun, 2014-03-23 11:59The Archdiocese of Seattle and the Internal Revenue Service will hold a meeting at Holy Rosary in the Church on Thursdy, April 3rd at 7:00 PM to discuss the tax scam and take questions on what can be done. I urge you to attend.
Those of you who are victims of tax fraud, please to go to www.seattlearchdiocese.org and complete the Identity Theft Victim Form, print it and bring it to the meeting. The agents will be collecting them there. Forms will also be available at the meeting. This form DOES NOT replace the steps that should be taken if you suspect you have been a victim. If you have received any suspicious mail, unsolicited debit or credit cards, or have any questionable documents, please bring them as well so the IRS can determine if your documents are relevant to their investigation.
Finally, if you are a victim of tax fraud, please send an e-mail with your name, address, parish, a description of your situation, and whether you are or have been an employee or volunteer to taxinformation@seattlearch.org.

Pastor's Weekly Letter 3-23-2014
Submitted by web.editor on Sun, 2014-03-23 11:47Third Sunday of Lent
Dear Parishioners:
The three readings this weekend speak of thirst, both physical and spiritual as well as what we “drink” to satisfy that thirst. In Exodus the issue is physical thirst. The people grumbled and complained to Moses who did as directed by God and found water for the people. Paul in Romans declared that “hope does not disappoint,” hope in God, that is. In fact, when we hope in God, “...the love of God is poured into our hearts by the Holy Spirit.” We come to realize first hand that God has proven his love for us.
