For the Fifth and Final Sunday in Lent

March 22, 2026

Greetings,

I hope that you are well.

I have attached the bulletin of the parishes to the "About" pages for your review. I am also including several liturgies that will be celebrated this week in the greater Yakima area and across the Diocese.

St. Paul Cathedral will host the Annual Chrism Mass this Tuesday, March 24 at 7:00am. Priests from across the diocese will gather for this annual event as Bishop Tyson blesses the chrism and sacred oils during this Mass. The oils, and the sacred chrism are then distributed to the parishes for sacramental use during the year. This liturgy is also an opportunity for the faithful to meet and to greet priests from across the diocese.

Also, please note that the Church across the globe celebrates the Solemnity of the Annunciation of Our Lord on March 25. Please see the bulletin attached for the Mass to be celebrated at St. John in Naches. I hope that you will join us for this liturgy as we move towards Palm Sunday and Holy Week.

Finally, the Mass and liturgy for both parishes for Holy Week and the great Easter Vigil will be published this week and made available on both the St. John website and the St. Juan Diego Facebook page. Thank you for your patience.

Lenten blessings to you and your family.
