Thank you to all those who have responded to the 2023 Annual Catholic Appeal. At this time, we have heard from 104 families, about 12% of our parish. Thank you to the many of you who have chosen to make your best gift by pledging over several months, helping us reach our goal in short time. If you didn't have a chance, please watch the reflection given by OLG’s Pastoral Associate, Helen Oesterle on the impact of the Annual Catholic Appeal to minister to those in need, build the Catholic faith within us and directly support our parish mission services. To make a pledge or give directly go to www.archseattle.org/GiveACA. It is safe, secure, and convenient. If you recently made a gift, thank you so much.

MAY IS A MONTH TRADITIONALLY DEDICATED TO HONORING THE BLESSED VIRGIN MARY |
In our churches and homes, we celebrate May as a “Marian month,” with May processions, May crownings, and other popular devotions in honor of the Mother of God. There are a wide variety of images of Mary and you are invited to share your favorite image with our community. Just bring it to Mass with you and place it on the table next to Our Lady of Guadalupe statue. You can also add a note that describes why it is special to you, including if it has any cultural meaning. |

What are your thoughts & feelings about Partners in the Gospel?
You have been receiving information about this significant pastoral planning effort and its implications for OLG for several months. But now is your chance to share your thoughts and feelings with members of the Leadership Team and others in our community. This will not only help build up our community, but it will also provide guidance to the Leadership Team in its ongoing efforts to support our us in an open and transparent way throughout the process and will prepare us for this fall when the proposed parish families are made public.
THERE ARE SEVERAL WAYS TO PARTICIPATE:

- Saturday, 5/20, 9:00-10:30 am by Zoom

One-on-one conversation with a member of the Team, if requested.
THIS WEEK’S QUESTION: Who is leading this effort?
There are many different groups involved in the research, planning and execution of this strategic pastoral planning effort:
-
Presbyteral Council is made up of priests elected by each of the 10 deaneries who advise and consult with Archbishop Etienne.
-
PartnersEdge is a research consulting firm that has helped other dioceses work through similar planning efforts.
-
Parish family liaisons, who will be hired and trained by the Archdiocese of Seattle, will support parish families in the process of becoming one parish.
-
You — we are asking for feedback and input from all Catholics in the Archdiocese of Seattle in Fall 2023. We are also asking for everyone’s prayers for this effort.
-
Partners in the Gospel Core Team is comprised of co-leads Caitlin Moulding, chief operations officer and Father Gary Lazzeroni, Vicar General and 10 other lay leaders.
-
Oversight Committee is a diverse group of lay leaders, priests, a religious sister, a deacon and our superintendent of Catholic Schools.

WHAT IS THAT BEING BUILT IN FRONT
OF OUR CHURCH?
|
Our parish acknowledges that we are on the traditional land of the first people of Seattle, the Duwamish People past and present, and honor with gratitude the land itself and the Duwamish Tribe. We have been wanting to create a physical recognition of this on our parish campus and it is now becoming a reality. Nick Krum, as part of his Eagle Scout project, has made two beautiful benches and the West Seattle Rotary is donating a Peace Pole for this project. It is our hope that the dedication and blessing of this space will take place soon with representatives from the Duwamish Tribe joining us. |

CONGRATULATIONS TO OUR KNIGHTS OF COLUMBUS who recently received the Star Council Award!! It is the highest award that a council can receive. To achieve this award a council must meet its yearly goals and they beat their goals by 135% for the year 2021-2022. Of the 165 state councils only 17 received Star Council. You can learn more about joining our Knights Of Columbus St Juan Diego Council 12175 by going to our https://www.olgseattle.org/knights-of-columbus.

OLG GARDEN WORK PARTY, Sunday, May 20, 9:00-11:30 AM. Did you know that the garden beds next to the labyrinth raise fresh produce for the West Seattle Food Bank? With the arrival of warmer weather (Yeah!), volunteers are needed to weed, disperse compost, and plant seeds and vegetable starts. We also hope to spread mulch on the perennial garden next to St. Francis. Tools are available but you are encouraged to bring your own gloves!
