“But Zacchaeus stood there and said to the Lord, ‘Behold, half of my possessions, Lord, I will give to the poor, and if I extorted anything from anyone I shall repay it four times over.’” LUKE 19:8 We are all called to gratefully give back to the Lord in proportion to the blessings we have been given. This means everyone isn’t called to give the same amount, but is called to give equal sacrifice. No amount is too small or insignificant! Open your heart, how is God calling you to be more generous with your financial resources and possessions?
Please remember the Church and School in your will.
Dear Friends, This weekend we take a moment in our Masses to commission our SVCC lay liturgical ministers: altar servers, sacristans, extraordinary ministers of holy communion, lectors, and ushers. Thank you all for your commitment to serving Christ and our parish communities through these important ministries. These commissionings follow last month’s training workshops for liturgical ministers offered throughout the Valley by Janette Strand, our SVCC PA for Music and Liturgy. We appreciate Janette leading this training and all who made time to attend. If you were not able to attend and are interested in being included in a “make up” workshop, please let Janette know; her contact information is on the front of this bulletin. The faithful, reverent, and skilled witness of our lay liturgical ministers truly is a blessing to our priests and our Skagit Valley Catholic parishes. Thank you all. In Christ, Fr. Tom P.S. Many thanks to our SVCC Respect Life task force and all who participated in this year’s Respect Life speaker series in October. The photo here is from Richard Doerflinger’s presentation on physician assisted suicide on a very stormy Monday evening last month.

"Pero Zaqueo se quedó allí y le dijo al Señor: <<le daré la mitad de mis bienes a los pobres, Señor, y si he chantajeado a alguien, se lo devolveré cuatro veces>>". LUCAS 19: 8
Todos estamos llamados a devolver con gratitud al Señor en proporción a las bendiciones que se nos han dado. Esto significa que no todos están llamados a dar la misma cantidad, pero sí a dar el mismo sacrificio. ¡Ninguna cantidad es demasiado pequeña o insignificante! Abre tu corazón, ¿cómo te está llamando Dios a ser más generoso con tus recursos y bienes?
Por favor, recuerde a la Iglesia y a la Escuela en su testamento .
1.La Escuela Regional de la Inmaculada Concepción organizará una Asamblea del Día de los Veteranos el viernes 8 de noviembre a las 9:00 a.m. en el Centro St. Joseph.

Todos los voluntarios tendrán que asistir a la capacitación sobre “Ambiente seguro” que brinda la Arquidiócesis para poder participar.

Queridos amigos, Este fin de semana nos tomamos un momento en nuestras Misas para reconocer a nuestros ministros litúrgicos laicos de las iglesias de skagit valley: monaguillos, sacristanes, ministros extraordinarios de sagrada comunión, lectores y ujieres. Gracias a todos por su compromiso de servir a Cristo y a nuestras comunidades parroquiales a través de estos importantes ministerios. Estos reconocimientos siguen a los talleres de capacitación del mes pasado para ministros litúrgicos ofrecidos en todo el Valle por Janette Strand, nuestra AP SVCC para Música y Liturgia. Apreciamos que Janette lidere esta capacitación y a todos los que hicieron tiempo para asistir. Si no pudo asistir y está interesado en ser incluido en un taller “exprés”, avísele a Janette; su información de contacto se encuentra en el frente de este boletín. El testimonio fiel, reverente y experto de nuestros ministros litúrgicos laicos es verdaderamente una bendición para nuestros sacerdotes y nuestras parroquias católicas de Skagit Valley. Gracias a todos. En Cristo, Padre Tom PD Muchas gracias a nuestro equipo de trabajo del valle de respeto a la vida y a todos los que participaron en la serie de oradores Respect Life de este año en octubre. La foto de la primera página es de la presentación de Richard Doerflinger sobre asistencia médica suicidio en un tormentoso día del lunes por la noche del mes pasado.

We are so grateful for our volunteers. Each week one or more of our volunteers greets our clients as they enter the Food Bank. Returning clients are checked in and new clients are entered into the computer system. While we serve anyone who comes to the Food Bank, we need to know the number of clients we serve each week. The following volunteers make this happen each and every week —rain or shine — hot or cold: Margaret Gross, Maribeth Ryan, Tracy Ouelette, Carol Dufer and Heidi Lee. Thank you for your willingness to serve and greet our clients whether it is in person or with the follow up data entry — thank you.
Thank you to Catholic Community Services for allowing Jose Ortiz to continue to lead the Tri-Parish Food Bank until we secure a replacement for his position. Thank you Jose for your continued support of the Food Bank as you transition to your new position.
Most Saturdays of the year the TPFB receives volunteer support from youth groups from parishes throughout the Archdiocese of Seattle. This week we owe our thanks to a group from St. Michaels who always look forward to this— their annual weekend retreat— spending all day Saturday in support of the Tri-Parish Food Bank. You are an awesome group of young people — thank you.
Job Announcement We are accepting applications for a Director of the Tri-Parish Food Bank. A job description and application form can be picked up at St. Charles Parish. The position is for 32 hours per week. This position also has oversight of the Youth Migrant Project—a vibrant summer program.

Baptismal Blankets Ministry Report This ministry was started in September 2018 to knit/crochet white blankets for the infants and toddlers baptized at ICC. White is the color for baptism, the sacrament being "purified and cleansed from sin". The blanket symbolism we see as "wrapped and cradled in the love of God."
Nineteen women have contributed blankets to this ministry. This year, 2019, 75 blankets were distributed, 67 in the Spanish speaking congregation and 8 in the English. What a blessing to have so many infants brought into God's family.
The ministry group meets once a month on the second Wednesday of the month in the parish office building from 10-11am. We would dearly love to have more people participating in this ministry. You don't have to attend the meetings. The only directions are that the blankets be white, knit or crochet, machine-washable, and about 30x36 inches. Each person chooses her own pattern and supplies needles or crochet hook. There is some donated yarn available.
You may contact me, Virginia Thogersen, for more information or just stop by at the Wednesday meetings, Nov.13 or Dec 11. [email protected] or 360-873-8817(voice only).

Es un momento de encuentro personal o comunitario, donde nos encontramos frente a Él y en profunda oración agradecemos su bondad,
su amor, su infinita misericordia; por ello le ofrecemos los dones que nos ha dado para ser utilizados de acuerdo a su voluntad en la venida de su Reino desde los más humildes; y le pedimos nos permanezca firmes en este caminar junto a nuestros seres queridos y a sus pastores en la tierra.

Jesus asks us to make our mark on this world and to serve the Lord by sharing His gifts with others.
Our parish goal is $240,413 to help our priests and sisters in their retirement needs. Every 15% on the dollar given
by our parishioners will be returned to us! We will use these funds to build a new building where the old garage is and up date the parish office across the street. We so need these spaces to accommodate our thriving wonderful parish! Thank you for your pledges you have returned thus far!
Since the beginning of the Called to Serve as Christ campaign, archdiocesan leaders have placed a priority on complete transparency. As such, the recently completed annual audit of the Called to Serve as Christ Campaign Fund – a 501(c)(3) nonprofit in the state of Washington – has been published on the campaign website. The most recent annual audit of the priest pension fund is also available at calledtoserveaschrist.org.
