From the Pastor • Del Pastor
Dear Parishioners,
Queridos Feligreses:
The Parish Pastoral Council is in the final
stage of preparation of the new five-year
Strategic Plan for St. Louise, and will
present that plan to our parish leadership
(councils, commissions and other leadership
groups) on Wednesday, March 16, at
6:30PM in the Parish Hall. We have been
engaged in the strategic-planning process
under the guidance of consultant Steve
Donaldson, who does this kind of work with parishes and other
groups in our Archdiocese.
El Consejo Pastoral de la Parroquia está en la etapa final de
preparación del nuevo Plan Estratégico de cinco años para
Santa Luisa, y presentará ese plan al liderazgo de nuestra
parroquia (consejos, comisiones y otros grupos de liderazgo) el
miércoles 16 de Marzo, a las 6:30PM en el Salón Parroquial. Nos
hemos comprometido a este proceso de planeación estratégica
bajo la guía del consultor Steve Donaldson, quien realiza este tipo
de trabajo con parroquias y otros grupos en nuestra Arquidiócesis.
Here are the steps that have led us to this point:
August 2014: Soon after I arrived as pastor of St. Louise, Steve
Donaldson led a session in which the Parish Staff began to talk
about priorities for the future.
Estos son los pasos que nos han traído hasta este punto:
Agosto de 2014: Poco después de que yo llegué como pastor de
Santa Luisa, Steve Donaldson dirigió una sesión en la cual el
Personal de la Parroquia empezó a hablar acerca de las
prioridades para el futuro.
Noviembre de 2014: Steve dirigió al Consejo Pastoral en una
velada para soñar acerca del futuro.
November 2014: Steve led the Pastoral Council on an evening
to dream about the future.
Diciembre de 2014-Enero de 2015: Los feligreses completaron
una encuesta sobre la parroquia.
December 2014-January 2015: Parishioners completed a parish
survey.
Febrero de 2014: Steve dirigió al Personal de la Parroquia en un
retiro de seguimiento.
February 2014: Steve led the Staff in a follow-up retreat.
April 2015: Steve led the parish leadership on a retreat to dream
about our future.
Abril de 2015: Steve dirigió al liderazgo de la parroquia en un
retiro para soñar acerca del futuro.
May 2015: A Draft Committee drawn from parish leadership
used input from the parish leadership retreat and parish survey to
write a first draft of the Strategic Plan.
September 2015: The Draft Committee presented their work to
the Pastoral Council. The draft included eight priorities for the
Strategic Plan.
October 2015: The Parish Council sought comments from the
leadership groups on the draft Strategic Plan.
November 2015: A Subcommittee of the Pastoral Council was
formed to review the comments from parish leadership and make
needed adjustments to the draft Strategic Plan.
January 2016: The Subcommittee reported to the Pastoral
Council that the two most common priorities mentioned in all
the comments were building faith and community. The
Pastoral Council discussed the possibility of using a parish retreat
experience, “Christ Renews His Parish,” as a means to foster the
growth of both faith and community for our parish.
For now, I ask that every parishioner include this important
work in your prayers. The new Strategic Plan will help to set our
direction as a parish for the next three to five years. Every St.
Louise parishioner could be affected to one degree or another by
this effort. The Pastoral Council is on fire with excitement, and I
hope that in time you will be too!
With gratitude to the many people who have worked hard on our
behalf,
Fr. Gary Zender
2
Mayo de 2015: Un Comité formado por miembros del liderazgo
de la parroquia utilizó los comentarios del retiro y de la encuesta
de la parroquia para escribir el primer borrador del Plan
Estratégico.
Septiembre de 2015: El Comité presentó su trabajo al Consejo
Pastoral, incluyendo ocho prioridades para el Plan Estratégico.
Octubre de 2015: El Consejo Pastoral pidió a los grupos de
liderazgo sus comentarios sobre el borrador del Plan Estratégico.
Noviembre de 2015: Se formó un Subcomité del Consejo
Pastoral para revisar los comentarios del liderazgo de la parroquia
y hacer los ajustes necesarios al borrador del Plan Estratégico.
Enero de 2016: El Subcomité reportó al Consejo Pastoral que las
dos prioridades más mencionadas en todos los comentarios
fueron: construir la fe y la comunidad. El Consejo Pastoral
discutió la posibilidad de utilizar la experiencia de un retiro
parroquial llamado “Christ Renews His Parish,” (“Cristo Renueva
Su Parroquia”) como un medio para promover el crecimiento de la
fe y la comunidad en nuestra parroquia.
Por ahora, le pido a cada uno de ustedes que incluya este
importante trabajo en sus oraciones. El nuevo Plan Estratégico
ayudará a establecer nuestra dirección como parroquia durante los
próximos tres a cinco años. Cada uno de los miembros de Santa
Luisa podría verse impactado de uno u otro modo por este
esfuerzo. El Consejo Pastoral está realmente emocionado, y yo
espero que con el tiempo ustedes también lo estén!
Con gratitud hacia mucha gente que ha trabajado duro por
nosotros,
Padre Gary Zender

February 11, 18, 25, March 10 (English & Spanish) and all Saturdays except Holy Saturday, 3PM–4:30PM (English & Spanish).
Preparation for confession should include an examination of conscience, which means you think back on sins you have committed
since your last confession. What happens during confession depends on the priest and the person. Most people still start with the
formula: "Bless me, Father, for I have sinned. It has been (state the number of months or years) since my last confession." If you
can't remember the words or you don't recall how long it's been, don't worry. Just tell the priest it's been a long time, and he will guide
you through the process. What you will experience is the healing gift of God's love, the chance to start over with a clean conscience,
and an overwhelming sense of gratitude. (from Our Sunday Visitor)

Catholic Perspectives On Our Nation
It seems to me that this election year is going to be perhaps
more emotional than what we have seen in the past. I have
recently come across two articles that address the issues from
a Catholic perspective, so I recommend them to you also.
The first article is from the publication First Things: Anger and
Citizenship by George Weigel, http://www.firstthings.com/webexclusives/2016/02/anger-and-citizenship. The second article
is from the publication America: The Greatness of a Nation, by
Bishop McElroy, http://americamagazine.org/issue/greatnessnation.

Outreach and Service
Drivers Needed—Seattle Seafarers
Center
Every cruise ship season, the months of May through
September, the Seattle Seafarers Center gathers volunteers
around the Seattle area to help transport cruise ship employees
from their port to downtown Seattle. By volunteering, even just
once a week, to be one of those drivers, you would be able to
interact with people from all over the world as well as provide a
much-needed service to those who desperately need a friendly
face and a way to get simple toiletries in town.
Volunteers must be over 21 and have a clean driving record.
We supply the vans and the cruise ship employees supply the
fun! For more information, please contact Ashley,
206-935-3439 or [email protected]. A driver's
instructional meeting is on April 10.
