After months of formation and preparation our catechumens, Adrienne and Yosan (pictured with their significant others) went to the Cathedral to formally declare their wish to enter fully into the life of the Church. They enrolled their names in the Book of the Elect to be initiated through baptism, confirmation, and Eucharist at Easter Vigil.

Let us pray for them and our candidates, Janae, Ajibola, and Kerry. These weeks of Lent are a period of intense preparation for the sacraments of Easter. During this time Christ will become ever more fully their way, their truth, and their life. Let us remember our catechumens and candidates in daily prayer as we set out together on the road that leads to the glory of Easter.

Stations of the Cross will be outside on the front lawn near the flag poles this year. You can pray the Stations of the Cross with Fr. Vu on Fridays during Lent after the 9:00am Mass. You can also come pray on your own during daylight hours. Various worship aids read by our parishioners are available on our parish website, which you can access on your phone.

Thank You! 

We are grateful for Don Bornhoeft for the carpentry of our beautiful new Stations of the Cross; the LeFohn Family for sealing the wood; Julia Ollestad, Kyler Fornes, Tecson Family, Bill and Parker Bredice, Greg Nolan, Glenn Rollman, Jim Dowling, Mike Myette, Nelson Amoranto, and Joe Byrne for getting them in the ground; and Ron Smith for renting the post hole digger that saved everyone hours of work. Another big thank you to everyone who participated in creating the worship aids! A community effort and labor of love! God bless you all for sharing your time and talent.

If you have not heard by Friday please email Joan.

If anyone would like to volunteer to help with our Masses please contact Greg Leptich, gleptich@sjvkirkland.org.

No registration necessary. Please do the Self Health Assessment before coming, and sign in at the table in the narthex when you arrive.
