For all who are ill, and those who care for them, especially Irving Ayala; Debo Tolentino; Jane Pugel; Renee Garana; Joseph Tagaban; Tamra Culver; and Doran Wellnitz. May God’s presence and strength sustain them through the challenge of each day.

For those who have died, especially Steven Kracik, father of Mary Ellen Lemen, and Bill Eidsmoe, that they may hear the voice of Jesus awakening them to the fullness of life.

We invite you to complete our Prayer Request Form or call/email the parish office at 206-523-6776 to add names to the prayer list. Names for the petition of the sick will remain for four weeks unless otherwise specified.

Thank you for joining us for the Mass of the Holy Spirit! Father Tim said it was reminiscent of an Easter Sunday Mass. Our School Open House was a huge success! So many of our alumni were able to join us and walk the hallowed halls of their alma mater with the new generation of Lakers. The weather provided such a beautiful backdrop for our Parish Picnic. There was food, fun, and even face painting! We could not have done any of this without our dedicated volunteers - of which there were over 50!  WOW!

Thank you to the 15 kids who joined us for Youth Group last Thursday. We heard the volleyball matches were close ones! Please join us next Thursday, the 29th, between 6:30pm and 8:30pm for a re-match. 

Check out our flyer for more announcements and remember the World Youth Day Information Meeting this Thursday, the 22nd. Contact Irving with question.

The Funeral Mass for Mary Davis will be held this Saturday, September 24th at 11am. Reception to follow in the Event Center.

“I have called you by name, and you are mine.”

-Isaiah 43:1

What is a Ministry? Which one should I join? Do I have time? Please join us after Mass on October 2nd to get answers to all these questions and more. Representatives from all our current Ministries will be there to help guide you and inspire you to join in! We will even have coffee, donuts and maybe a few special surprises along the way. 

With this contribution, we could help the parish repair the roof and paint part of the temple. Father Arsenio was looking for help since he doesn't have any other support and the contribution that the parishioners typically give has been affected due to the crisis that the whole country is immersed in.  

I am also sharing pictures of Mrs. Anastasia and Mr. Angel. I recently could visit both of them at their new place. It takes quite a ride to get there because their house is in a community called Rancho Largo. The road conditions are not the best and you have to cross rivers and go up to the mountains in order to get there. But I enjoyed the experience, now I know that I am very fortunate to live in Yalí. They always receive me with a big smile. They are very thankful to the parishioner in Our Lady of the Lake who is helping both of them. 

Finally, these pictures are from Reverendo Miguel Angel Vásquez School. Last Saturday we had a parade for our Patriotic Celebrations. These are my students from Saturday. The banner you see in front of the parade which has the logo of the school and the name on it was bought with the seed contribution. Thanks so much for your help and for remembering the students at Los Rodeitos. You will see more kids with white t-shirts, these were also bought with this contribution also. 

Thanks so much for all you do. Keeping you all in my prayers!! -Keyla

If you are interested in volunteering with children or vulnerable adults at OLL, there are three components to do so. After you create your Virtus account you will need to sign some online policies, get a background check and attend a Safe Environment Class called "Protecting God's Children for Adults". We are offering this class on Thursday, October 13th from 6:30-9:30pm in-person in Jubilee Hall.
