| Dear Friends and Parishioners, |
The early Christians, even though they were baptized, learned from the desert experience of Lent that they too were in need of renewal and of finding out who they were and who God was calling them to be. During Lent, we too went into the desert to face both our gifts and our limits, a need to face ourselves, our demons, and our God. And now we're at Holy Week. The image of the risen Lord at Easter doesn't deny the passion and death of Jesus. The risen Lord still bears his wounds. We come to the tomb looking for Jesus and leave with the story of the risen Lord. Jesus invites his followers to find him in the world, in our families, in our neighborhoods, in every place where people gather, for the risen Lord is there.
Yours in Christ Our Hope,
Father Paul Magnano
Pastor

Music and Meditation
On Friday, April 7th, Music and Meditation: The Seven Last Words by Josef Haydn, played by The Christ Our Hope String Quartet, will provide the environment for short meditations on each of the seven phrases by our clergy (Fr. Paul and Fr. Tom Lucas) and five well-qualified parishioners (Ruth Ard, Maggie Finley, Colleen Toomey, Ed Holen and Dr. David Ard). It will be inspirational and an excellent preparation for Palm Sunday and Holy Week.
The program will take place on Friday, April 7, at 7:00 PM, in our church.

Volunteers Needed!
There are jobs both big and small for volunteers this week and for Holy week.
We need people to haul items up from storage, move the palms back into the church, assist with changing the church environment and many other tasks on Holy Saturday morning.

If you are a young adult in Western Washington anywhere between our border with Canada up north and our border with Oregon in the south, we hope you will come and join many other young adults, Archbishop Sartain and Bishop Elizondo on this journey of faith. Over the years, this program continues to develop into a faith-filed event that convenes young adults from the different cultural communities present in Western Washington, hece and while relatively simple, the program involves more than one language.
