SACRED HEART PARISH March 29th, 2020 5th Sunday of Lent
Dear Parishioners,
All daily and weekend Masses have been suspended until further notice. Archbishop Etienne has
given a dispensation for missing the Sunday Mass. This means that it is not a sin to miss Sunday
Mass under these circumstances. Please spend at least one hour on Sunday in quiet prayer, read
the readings for the day, pray the rosary, watch the Mass on TV or on your computer. We will be
recording the Mass at Sacred Heart and having it available on our parish website and Facebook ac-
count. Please join us spiritually for Mass while you are watching it at home.
Due to Governor Inslee's order "Stay Home, Stay Healthy," the parish office will be closed as of
Thursday, March 26. If you have any church business or spiritual needs please contact the parish
answering service and they will get in contact with somebody from the parish staff. We will respond
to your call as soon as we can.
Please know of our continued prayers for everyone during this difficult time. Please pray the prayer
asking for the intercession of Our Lady of Seattle to bring this pandemic to an end, and that we may
once again be able to celebrate the public Mass.
God bless you, Fr. Tim Ilgen

“Lazarus, come out” (Jn 11:43)! Illness is no fun. A simple cold can hang on for days, to be
followed by weeks of a lingering cough. Other more serious illnesses (cancer, kidney failure)
can result in months or years of ongoing treatments which in themselves can take their toll.
Our environment has a host of things which can trigger our bodies to struggle in their efforts to
be well. The recent coronavirus that has circled the globe is an example of something that
now lives in our environment. Today’s Gospel begins with the words, “Master, the one you love is ill” (Jn
11:3). Sickness has come to Lazarus. Imagine living in a refugee camp…tents…no running water…poor sani-
tation conditions…insects…unbearable heat and cold. These are conditions ripe for harboring germs. Imag-
ine living in the largest refugee camp in the world. Kakuma (Kenya, Africa) is home to 185,000 men, women
and children. What must the illness rate be under these horrific conditions? What kind of medical services are
available? What is the mortality rate, especially among children whose immune systems are compromised by
lack of an adequate diet? Lent is a time when we are asked to participate in almsgiving. Lent is drawing to a
close. Perhaps now is the time to generously give to the CRS Rice Bowl Program.

What are the Scrutinies? These Rites are celebrated to help deliver the elect from the power of sin and Sa-
tan, to protect them against temptation, and to give them strength in Christ, who is the Way, the Truth and
the Life. The Rites of Scrutiny are meant to uncover, and then heal, all that is weak, defective, or sinful in the
elects’ hearts and to bring out through repentance all that is upright, strong and good. Three Scrutinies are
celebrated in the parish community on the third, fourth, and fifth Sundays in Lent, after the homily: the Gos-
pel story of the Samaritan woman at the well for the first Scrutiny, the Gospel story of the healing of the
man born blind for the second Scrutiny, and the Gospel Story of the raising of Lazarus for the third Scrutiny.
The celebrations of the Scrutinies also remind the whole parish community of the need to reflect on their
own sins and the need for God’s help.

First Communion & Faith Formation (Pre-K - 5th)
Linda Cooper at 360-491-0890 Ext. 108 lindac@3hearts.org
Hello Faith Formation Families,
Our wonderful team of catechists miss you & are praying for you. There are many ways to grow in our faith
while staying safe.
First – If you don't already have one, set-up a home altar. It can be as simple or fancy as you like. Some
ideas to get you started include: a purple prayer cloth (for Lent), a Bible, candles, the family rice bowl, a
family picture....consider posting a picture on the Sacred Heart Facebook page.
Second – Like Sacred Heart Catholic Church, Lacey on Facebook. It is a great source of information as our
situation continues to change. We've added weekly features to help keep us all connected. Find out more

Dear Parents and Confirmation Candidates,
In an effort to help keep the COVID-19 from spreading, we will be following Archdiocesan and Health
Department guidance.
We will post updates as we get them. Please check the following link for updates https://
www.facebook.com/SacredHeartLYM
The date scheduled for Confirmation is May 15th. However, with so many unknowns this too might change.
Confirmation students use this time to finish your homework, your letter to Father Tim, and you’re Service
Project Form. They still have to be completed before you receive Confirmation.
Per Father Tim: All daily and weekend Masses have been suspended until further notice. This includes Ad-
oration of the Blessed Sacrament and the Stations of the Cross. It is not a sin to miss Sunday Mass under
these circumstances. Please spend at least one hour on Sunday in quiet prayer, read the readings for the day,
pray the rosary, watch Mass on TV or on your computer. These are some ways to honor God on Sunday for
the salvation that is promised to us through the sacrifice of His Son Jesus. Please pray for the intercession of
Our Lady of Seattle to end this epidemic. Sincerely in Christ, Fr. Tim Ilgen.

Here at Sacred Heart we have a grief support group. You will find a warm, caring envi-
ronment as you grieve the death of a loved one. It connects you with others here on
earth on the same journey. This will be an encouragement to many, as grieving people
often think something is wrong with them when their grief doesn't proceed neatly
through stages. The reality is that grieving people jump back and forth between differ-
ent emotions, sometimes wrestling with multiple emotions at once.
The evening consists of prayer, song, good food, discussion time and informative videos
on topics to help you heal. For more information and to register for the class, you can contact Katy Baker
at (360) 493-1773.

talk about their strengths/talents or wanting more information on how to get started, please call the Parish
Office at 360-491-0890 and ask to speak to Mary. She will return your call in a timely manner and help you
through this trying time by phone conversations.
“Oh Gracious God,
You have drawn us together as a manifestation of the Body of Christ. Be with us as we live as stewards of
Your love and mercy; strengthen us when we falter; give us wisdom to know Your will and to follow Your
