OLQH Weekly Bulletin May 15 - 23
The Archdiocese of Seattle is mindful of formulating clear direction for new and updated safety protocol for the parishes. With regards to the Governor’s proposition for a vaccinated section,
Fr. Vinner has chosen to UPHOLD THE CURRENT GUIDANCE.
This means everyone must continue to wear a mask and remain socially-distanced. Masks will be available at the entrance of the Church. At this time, we are not logistically prepared to implement new guidelines as sanctioned by the Governor.
Thank you and God bless!

Another week has gone by for the Annual Catholic Appeal Campaign, and we have raised $28,090.96 so far towards our goal of $87,959 by donations from 79 households. Please fill out a pledge envelope today or donate online - the web address is on the pledge envelopes. And if you cannot give this year, participate by keeping the efforts of the ACA in your prayers. Thank you!
As the OLQH Family, we ask that you pray an additional Hail Mary DAILY for the special intentions of Our Lady Queen of Heaven Church.

Support your Parish Family through Stewardship
If you have not already made a stewardship pledge for the 21-22 fiscal year,
Prayerfully discern this week what you can give for the operations and maintenance of Our Lady Queen of Heaven. The gift may be a one-time gift, monthly or weekly pledge. If you find you are unable to give financially, please turn in a card with prayer written on it. Cards are available at Mass, the Parish Office, or online. We would like to know that 100% of our church family is committed to making this parish rich in faith and the sharing of the gifts God has generously given to us.

RESOURCES ON THE CATHOLIC NATIONAL LEVEL
Pope Francis declared the start of the Year of the Family on March 19, the feast of St. Joseph. He also proclaimed a Year of St. Joseph from December 8, 2020 to December 8, 2021, to mark the 150th anniversary of the declaration of St. Joseph as Patron of the Universal Church. No doubt, he wants us to look to Joseph as an example for our own family life.
Stay tuned for new Mass protocol information for these upcoming changes. Thank you in advance for your patience and prayers!
