September 27, 2020

Greetings,

As the seasons turn and the mercury begins to drop at night here in the Upper Yakima Valley, I hope that you are doing well.

I have, as always, attached the most recent bulletin for the parishes. I hope that you find it both informative and a source of inspiration when reflecting on this weekend's Sacred Scriptures from the celebration of Mass.

I would refer you to the article "From the Pastor's Desk" for several housekeeping details, to include the upcoming Trunk or Treat event to be held at the end of October, on All Hallows Eve. It will not only be a safe and sweet experience for our children; but we will as well take such an opportunity to catechize, to teach our children as to the origin and meaning of All Hallows Eve. As so many enjoyed last year's experience, we hope that everyone will participate; those young in age and those young in spirit. We are seeking donations of sweets to make this event "fly." You may contact Connie Schuler for more information at 509.966.7839 (h) or 509.833.8517 (c) or by email at appleorchard28@q.com

As well, there is a change in this coming week's daily Mass schedule at St.John. Please see this article for details.

Please remember that If you wish to attend Mass at either St. John or at St. Juan Diego you must make a reservation. For St. John, please contact Betty Jo Murry at 509.697.3203 (h) or by email at webebankers@fairpoint.net

If leaving a message, please ensure to leave your name as well as the names of those attending and a contact phone number. Thank you.

For St. Juan Diego, please contact the parish office at 509.678.4164 and leave a message; including your name as well as the names of those attending and a contact phone number. Thank you.

Should you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact me.

Blessings upon your week.



Very Rev. Brooks F. Beaulaurier
Pastor
