T�� S�� of Advent�

December 13, 2020�

Dear Friends,�

We are almost there! Over halfway through the Advent season and the priests are clothed in Rose. You

may have seen the shirt that says, “Real men wear pink.” I was gifted with a shirt that says that, but men is

crossed out and priests substituted and the same with pink which is crossed out and replaced with rose.

Then in parentheses below it reads (Twice a year.) As we near the greatest celebrations on the Christian

calendar (Easter and Christmas), the Church is filled with anticipation and uses the rose color to signify the

happiness and joy that is associated with the coming feasts. �

In the last year, I have been blessed to anticipate many little ones who have come into this world. Two of

them for whom I became the Godfather. It has been a joy to see the anticipation of these young couples,

some new parents, others not so new. There is a difference between the first child and the third. In the case

of all the new parents that have welcomed their first child this year, the child is the new center of attention.

There is a palpable shift in their lives. Things that were important, might not be so much anymore. And in

the midst of a world that is full of anxiety and fear, there is so much peace looking into the eyes of an in-

fant. �

Those who have welcomed a child in the last 9 months know that the process now is much different than it

was before. There is no one else at the hospital. Only one person is allowed to be with the mother in the

delivery room. Visits are not an option. There is a solitude that must have been part of what Joseph and

Mary would have experienced as well. Just them and the animals in the stable until the shepherds arrived

to adore the newborn King. There is concern and anxiety going into the hospital, and yet there was no

room for Joseph and Mary to welcome their child in any sort of “normal” situation. No matter. Mary and

Joseph are confident and at peace. It is only fitting that Jesus should be born this way. The Bread of An-

gels comes down to us and is placed in the manger, the feeding trough of the animals, foreshadowing that

He would become our heavenly food in the Eucharist. �

“Rejoice always!” St. Paul says to us this Sunday. Always. Even in the midst of our trials and especially

as we accompany others with compassion. Although we are suffering with them, we know we are not

alone. Jesus has come to us, Emmanuel. He has suffered greatly on our behalf. From the time of His birth

He was a man of sorrows, rejected by His own. Yet, there is peace. Peer into the cave. See the beautiful

child. He is our peace. He is our joy. �

Our anticipation has hit a peak and we are longing for the day when He will arrive. We know the joy of the

encounter because we have been here before. What are the final preparations that need to be made in your

heart to welcome the One for whom your heart longs?�

In the joy of His Most Sacred Heart,�

�

November Report from your Finance Council…….�

The Finance Council met virtually November 18th to discuss various Finance topics.� An update was given

on the number of families turning in their stewardship pledges which through the end of November was sig-

nificantly lower compared to last year.� It is a very difficult time right now for many families but for those

that are in a position to make a pledge, we ask that you prayerfully consider doing so.�

�

The parish along with the Archdiocese of Seattle is looking into various grants that can provide us additional

monies to support our parish and programs.� We will update you if any comes to fruition.� �The parish is also

looking into financial education programs that�can help parishioners with their daily finances.�

�

If you are interested in joining the Finance Council, or know of anyone who is interested, please contact the

parish office at 425�255�3132.�

Freedom and Hope�

In the summer, a young man came to us because he had just been released from jail after

serving his time. He didn’t want to return to the people and places of his previous life.

We were able to provide a list of resources, including companies willing to hire ex�cons.

He had almost nothing, and was grateful for a voucher to buy a tent, sleeping bag, and

some food. He was so excited for his freedom and had hope for a better future. Help us

offer hope. Join Saint Vincent de Paul. Contact Judy at [email protected].�
