From deacon Roy’s desk
Dear sisters and brothers in Christ:
As a father and grandfather now, I have always loved my own children and grandchildren deeply but as your pastoral
coordinator the past 3 months, I have come to love and cherish all the children of the parish and the school as well. I
have really enjoyed seeing them around the campus, at school, on the playground, at Mass, at assemblies, just everywhere. Many of them recognize me and say hello all the time. It’s just great to be part of your families.
In that spirit, I want to share a few thoughts about how we can better care for the children of our parish family. First, you
know already I’ve been emphasizing traffic and pedestrian safety around the school and church. I won’t say any more
about that here but you will continue to see improvements around the campus that will enhance the kids’ safety.
You’ll also see a bright yellow “SAFE PLACE” sign hanging in the window of the parish office. We are now part of the
Safe Place program sponsored by Youth Care in the University District and Friends of Youth. Basically, this sign tells
young people from age 12 to 17 that during our normal business hours, they can come to our office and find a safe place
to wait for a crisis counselor who will come and pick them up to help them in an emergency. The parish staff has been
trained and we know who to call for assistance. That person will arrive within 45 minutes of the call. Please pray for all
young people, especially those whose families are in crisis and who may be experiencing homelessness or be runaways.
Finally, I want to tell you that all families, all children are welcome at our daily and Sunday masses. I know we have a
“cry room” located upstairs near in the choir loft but I really encourage those of you with young children not to
use it! All your children, including the youngest of toddlers are welcome to be in the church at all times and to experience the liturgy fully. If they want to toddle about a bit, no problem. If they do have a melt down and need a time out,
simply take them to the vestibule or outside until they calm down and can return to Mass. They are always welcome!
Thanks for bringing your children to the Church for the sacraments and it continues to be my great joy and loving challenge to serve as your deacon. Blessings to you all.
Your servant in Christ,
Deacon Roy Harrington - Pastoral Coordinator
Worship and spiritual life
WEEKDAY LITURGIES
Everyone is invited and encouraged to attend our weekday liturgies. Normally each week, Masses are scheduled for Tuesdays through Fridays at 9:00 AM, a Rosary
with Word and Communion Service is scheduled for Mondays beginning at 8:30 AM. When School is in session, all
grades attend Mass on the second through fourth Thursdays. At those Masses, a class is designated to serve as
greeters, to server as lectors, to prepare and present the
Prayers of the Faithful and to bring forth the offertory gifts.
Your attendance at these Masses is a visible sign to all
our students of our faith and commitment to actively participate in liturgies. Please plan on attending our weekday
liturgies. The 4th Grade Class from St. Benedict School
will serve at Mass this Thursday.
ST. HEDWIG and ST. MARGARET ALACOQUE
St. Hedwig married the Duke of greater Poland, with
whom she lived a pious life. Together they founded a
Cistercian convent, which Hedwig entered when she was
widowed.
St. Margaret Mary Alacoque was a French visitation nun
and mystic who promoted devotion to the Sacred Heart of
Jesus. In a series of visions, the form of this devotion
was revealed: Holy Communion on the first Friday of each
month and the institution of the Solemnity of the Sacred
Heart. Margaret Mary was criticized by the other nuns but
had the support of the community’s confessor, Blessed
Claude de la Colombiere. (2014 Sourcebook pg.300)
ST. IGNATIUS
St. Ignatius was born in the year 50 and died somewhere
between 98 and 117 in Rome. An Apostolic Father and
possible disciple of John the Evangelist, he served the
community of Antioch of bishop. Living durng the antiChristian reigh of the Roman emperor Trajan, he was
sentenced to be fed to animals in the Roman Colosseum
because he refused to engage in idol worship. His ourney to Rome was marked by extensive writing in which
he composed seven letters. These letters, directed to
various churches, emphasized the humanity and divinity
of Christ, the centrality of Eucharist and the importence
of Church unity. (2014 Sourcebook pg.301)
ST. TERESA OF JESUS (1515-1582)
More commonly known as St. Teresa of Avila, St. Teresa
joined the Carmelite Convent of the Incarnation at the
age of 21. Disheartened by convent life, in particular, its
spiritual laxity, opulent nature and overly social atmosphere, she began a reform movement that provided the
framework for the Discalced Carmelites. Members of the
new branch of Carmelites modeled themselves on the
poor and crucified Christ, adopting a life of poverty and
abstinence. In collaboration with St. John of the Cross,
Teresa helped bring this new way of life to the male Carmelite communities. Their reforms met with great resistance, but they moved forward with faith and persistence. Among her many writings she is well- known for
two classics: The Way of Perfection and The Interior Castle. (2014 Sourcebook pg.300)

ST. LUKE
Tradition tells us that Luke was a physician and artist who
lived in Syria and who wrote at the end of the first century, completing Luke and Acts of the Apostles, a two volume work, about 80 or 90 AD. He was highly educated, a
gifted writer and a knowledgeable historian as well. He
probably knew, and perhaps worked with, St. Paul.
Where would we be without St. Luke? Think how the
Church’s prayer would be impoverished without Mary’s
Magnificat, Simeon’s canticle of praise on holding Jesus
in his arms, and Zechariah’s thanksgiving for the birth of
John the Baptist. Think how our knowledge and love of
the Mother of God would be diminished without Luke’s
accounts of the infancy of Christ, the Annunciation, the
Visitation, the shepherds in the fields at the birth of the
Lord, the Presentation and the Finding in the Temple.
(2014 Sourcebook pg. 302)
ST. CALLISTUS I (+222)
Following a life of slavery and hard labor, St. Callistus I
was appointed deacon in charge of the Christian cemetery on the Appian Way, now called the catacomb of San
Callisto. Recognized for his abounding wisdom and natural bent for leadership, he was eventually elected pope.
He had many critics, due to his liberal stance regarding
the forgiveness of those who had apostatized during
times of persecution. St. Callistus, heeding the commands of Christ, believed the repentant should be forgiven and welcomed back into the Church. Tradition maintains that he began the Ember Days, periods of fasting
and abstinence, which are no longer observed among
Catholics. He is commemorated as a martyr; he was
probably killed during a public disturbance. (2014 Sourcebook pgs. 299-300)
ALTAR SERVERS MEETING TODAY
All current and prospective altar servers are invited to
attend the Altar Server Formation Meeting on today at
11:30 AM. Meet Deacon Roy in the church for a review
of the current altar server guidelines and recent changes
to altar server duties. Servers should be 5th grade or
older and have been baptized in the Catholic church and
have made their first Communion.
LITURGICAL MINISTER MEETING
There will be a Liturgical Minister meeting, Tuesday October 14th at 7 PM in the church. Discussion will cover
guidelines and duties for Liturgical Ministers at Mass and
to elect the new Coordinator.
MARIAN CENACLE MASS – 7:00 PM ON October 24th
All are invited to a Marian Cenacle Mass to pray for our
Pope, all Priests, Religious & World Peace scheduled for
Friday, October 24th. This celebration begins at 7:00 PM
with a rosary and continues with Mass. Refreshments will
be served after Mass and Our Lady of Fatima Home Prayer Group literature will be available during the reception.
MEMORIAL CANDLES FOR ALL SOULS
Votive Candles for the All Souls Novena are available for
purchase after all Sunday Masses in October at the table
in the narthex of the church. Inscribe your candle with
the name(s) of a deceased loved one and it will burn in
the church for approximately six days during the All Souls
Novena. Novena Cards for Mass Intentions are also
available and should be returned to the Parish Office by
Friday, October 31st so that we can gather them for placement on the altar during the All Souls Novena.

CHILDREN’S STEWARDSHIP ENVELOPES
On Thursday, October 2nd, a boxed set of children’s stewardship envelopes were sent to the homes of kindergarten through 8th grade students who attend St. Benedict
Catholic School. Each envelope has a place to record
their contribution of time, talent and treasure. Children
can bring their envelopes to Mass on Sunday and bring
them forward during the “Preparation of the Altar and the
Gifts” and place them in the children’s offering box (the
model of St. Benedict Church) or place them in the offering basket. Please keep in mind that children can also
bring forward and place their prayers, notes and even art
(page size or smaller) in the children’s collection box. If
your student does not attend our School and you would
like to receive a boxed set of envelopes, please contact
Jim Martz in the Parish Office at 206.632.0843 or via
email at j.martz@stbens.net.
CHILDCARE DURING 10 AM MASS
Our program providing childcare during our 10 AM Mass
was suspended about two months ago for safety considerations. Since then we have not been able to attract a
sufficient number of volunteers to allow us to operate the
program within Archdiocesan guidelines. Consequently,
we are cancelling the program. Thank you to all those
who have supported this program in the past. Contact Jim
Martz in the Parish Office at either 206.632.0843 or
j.martz@stbens.net if you have questions regarding this
matter.

WILLS & ESTATE PLANNING SEMINARS
OCTOBER 28th
Two Wills and Estate Planning Seminars will be conducted in the School Auditorium on Tuesday, October 28th.
The seminars will be led by representatives of the Archdiocese of Seattle’s Planned Giving Office and will include
a presentation from local estate planning attorney, Henry
Grenley. The first session is from 3:00 to 4:30 PM and
the second is from 7:00 to 8:30 PM. An invitation from

and a reservation form. RSVP forms can be retuned in
the offering baskets, emailed to the Parish Office at parish@stbens.net or by calling the parish Office at

RESPECT LIFE MONTH
October is annually observed as Respect Life Month in
Catholic Churches across our nation. Respect of Life is
the acknowledgement that all human persons are made
in the image of God. As stewards of everything that God
has given us, we are called to respect the dignity of human life: from the moment of conception until natural
death. John Paul II in his encyclical the Gospel of Life
(Evangelium Vitae) tells us that “For the Christian, it is an
absolute imperative to respect, love and promote the life
of every brother and sister, in accordance with the requirements of God’s bountiful love in Jesus Christ.” n. 77
Please review and reflect upon this year’s Respect Life
Month statement from Cardinal Sean O’Malley, Chairman
of the United States Catholic Conference of Bishops
Committee on Pro-Life Activities. The statement can also
be found at http://www.usccb.org/about/pro-life-activities/
respect-life-program/2014/2014-respect-life-monthstatement.cfm
WORLD MISSION SUNDAY – OCTOBER 19th
On World Mission Sunday (celebrated in every parish in
the world), we are called to be missionary disciples especially to those most in need of the Good News of Jesus
Christ. Spiritual and material sharing enables all of us,
rich or poor, to be evangelized and to serve. Within our
Archdiocese, World Mission Sunday is celebrated as the
feast of catholicity and universal solidarity so Christians
the world over will recognize their common responsibility
with regard to the evangelization of the world, benefiting
the Society for the Propagation of the Faith. We combine
other U.S. mandated collections with World Mission Sunday, sharing gifts on a percentage basis with: Church in
Latin America, Catholic Home Missions, Central and Eastern Europe, Catholic Near East Welfare Association, Pastoral Solidarity Fund for the Church in Africa. Additional
information can be found in the bulletin insert. Please
prayerfully consider how you will support this worthy
cause.
