CATHOLIC CEMETERIES THAT SERVE ST. JUDE

Calvary 206-522-0996 and Holyrood 206-363-8404

-1-

During our annual Priest Days convocation this year we

heard talks by two of our brother priests from Africa and

two others from Vietnam. The face of the Church of the

Northwest is changing. An increasing number of many in

our churches were born beyond the borders of the US.

Microsoft has been a major influence in bringing in folks

especially from India, Ireland and the Balkans. With this

diversity comes a richness as the breadth of our Catholi-

cism ‘universalism’ becomes evident in the outlooks, tal-

ents and faith traditions evident in the lives of those from

various parts of the globe. Also, relatively soon after

transitioning from a country of pastors as missionaries

from various lands, especially Ireland, to developing a

more indigenous priesthood, we are becoming increas-

ingly reliant on priests from Africa, the Orient and the

Polynesian Pacific. It is not uncommon to hear North-

west Catholics express difficulty understanding some of

newly arrived priests. Vocations and Catholic practice

are both linked to an economic trend, as wealth an ease

increase the practice of the faith tends to decrease. It is

important for folks of all lands and brands of Catholicism

to recognize our trust and reliance on a good and gracious

God; God’s concrete presence through rich sacramental

encounter, and the hope available though life in Jesus’

Spirit.

Blessings,

Fr. Dave Rogerson

WHOLE COMMUNITY CATECHESIS

Question of the Week (June 1)

Scriptures: Zechariah 9:9-10; Romans 8:9, 11-13 and

Matthew 11:25-30

Jesus thanked his Father for revealing to “little ones” the

truth of the Gospel, and he told his disciples to learn from

his being meek and humble.

Adults: Who are the “little ones” in today’s world who

seem to “get” the message of Jesus?

Children: Do I come to Jesus when I have problems

so that he cam make my burdens lighter?

Anointing of Sick at All Liturgies

Weekend of July 12-13

In Romans 8:18, Saint Paul says "I consider that the suf-

ferings of this present time are as nothing compared with

the glory to be revealed for us." The Church has always

been concerned about those who are enduring suffering of

any kind, and that is why we anoint the sick in a sacra-

mental sign of our care for those who suffer bodily. Like

other Sacraments, it is intended to be celebrated in com-

munity, with the community showing its prayers and sup-

port for those who are weakened by illness of body, mind,

or spirit.

Here at St. Jude's, set aside two Sundays each year for the

celebration of this sacrament with our entire Sunday as-

sembly. Our next weekend for the anointing the sick is

coming up on July 12-13. All those whose health is seri-

ously impaired by sickness or old age are welcome to step

forward to receive our prayers and be anointed by the

priest. Families and friends of those who are to be

anointed are also invited to come forward with them and

assist by showing the community's support through the

laying on of hands.

If you or someone you know wish to be anointed but need

assistance in getting to one of the liturgies that weekend,

please call the office and we will do what we can to ar-

range transportation.

Vocation Discernment Weekend

Single women age 18 and older are invited to a

tions@providence.org.

STEM CELL RESEARCH AND SOCIAL

JUSTICE

Research on human stem cells has for years

been seen as the next great frontier in the

advancement of medical science. It's also

been an area of controversy, as some of the

research has been done on embryonic stem

cells, resulting in the destruction of human

embryos, the most vulnerable of all human

life.

At their meeting earlier this month, the US

bishops for the first time spoke about this

issue. Their relatively brief statement can be

found at www.usccb.org/chronological.shtml.

Spiritual Exercises in Everyday Living (SEEL)

Are you interested in deepening your prayer

life? SEEL is a nine month experiential retreat

based upon the Spiritual Exercises of St. Ignatius

Loyola. It is a program of prayer and reflection that

can be followed by busy people in the midst of their

daily lives. It is effective, powerful and life-changing.

People of varied backgrounds and Christian tradi-

tions, and people who are active as well as those

who are contemplative, have benefited from the Ex-

ercises. If you think SEEL is right for you at this time

or just want to learn more, review the materials

found at

www.seelpugetsound.org

. Registration ma-

terials must be submitted no later than August 1,

2008.

read the following letter of thanks.

Dear St. Jude Parishioners,

I am truly overwhelmed by the incredible generosity of the

parishioners of St. Jude in support of the 401

st

Military Police

Company. My husband was assigned to this unit in April

2007 and in May of 2007, the unit deployed to Iraq. This Au-

gust, after having completed their 15 month deployment, these

brave men and women will be returning to Ft. Hood,

Texas. Thanks to your kindness and generosity, the 401

st

MP

CO Family Readiness Group (a volunteer group made up of

the spouses and families of the soldiers of the 401

st

MP CO)

will be able to give these soldiers the wonderful homecoming

they so deserve.

I cannot begin to express how much your support means to

the families of these soldiers. The generosity of your contribu-

tions to this fundraiser is truly amazing, but it is your prayers,

well wishes, and support that have truly touched the spouses

and families of this unit. As a new Army wife, I did not know

what to expect from my husband's first deployment, but I can

honestly say that knowing there are so many people who genu-

inely care about our soldiers has made this experience much

easier. I cannot thank you enough for your thoughtfulness and

for caring enough to make a difference in the lives of these sol-

diers.

On behalf of the soldiers of the 401

st

MP CO, their families,

and the 401

st

MP CO FRG, thank you for your generosity, your

prayers, and your support.

Sincerely,

Jenny Lynch

There are natural ebbs and flows to the Liturgy. We cannot stay at a high for prolonged periods without having moments where we

hearts still attentive to the entirety of the prayer, for the whole Mass is one prayer made of many.
