Welcome To
St. Aloysius Catholic Church
REGISTER TO ATTEND MASS!
Welcome back to daily mass! Starting August 18th St. Aloysius will return to daily 8:30am mass Tuesday through Friday and cancel Masses on Tuesday 10am and Thursday 7pm. See link below.
As COVID-19 restrictions begin easing in the state, remain patient, stay vigilant and keep focused on Jesus. We are delighted to announce our prayers have been answered and public Mass has resumed with a limited attendance. Registration is needed as we are required to have a record of all who attend our public Masses.
As much as it pains us, we strongly encourage those who have underlying health conditions, the caregiver of someone, or are showing symptoms of illness; please continue to stay at home.
As a reminder, all Catholics are dispensed from the Sunday Mass obligation indefinitely.
Each Sunday at 10:30am, Fr. Clarence celebrates mass on Zoom. If you need the link, please email the office.

Prayer to Our Lady of Seattle
Holy Mary, we come before you as spiritual children in great need, seeking your intercession, and asking that your mantle of love surround us to console, protect, and lead us to your son Jesus.
We entrust all of God's family, especially the church in Western Washington, into your immaculate hands. With your son Jesus' gentle power you can undo any knot in our church, and in the lives of believers who entrust themselves to your care.
Today I especially entrust to you [mention request/Coronavirus here], and I ask that --through your intercession, and that of St. James, our guardian angels, and the faithful in our archdiocese -- we may be free from every spiritual and temporal ill, and be safely led to encounter your son's merciful, sacred heart.
Our Lady of Seattle, Undoer of Knots pray for us!

DAILY REFLECTIONS
SUGGESTIONS FOR THE WEEK
THE SEARCH / EPISODE 7 / WHY A CHURCH?
How do I access this man who lived 2000 years ago? How do I live this call of love? We uniquely encounter the love of God in His Church. But really? The Church? There are so many negative views of the Church. It’s out of touch. It’s full of bad people. It’s just too boring. Maybe when we say “The Church” we mean a little more. The church is the family of God that’s been lovingly gathered through our entire story. It’s the place we were meant to encounter His grace that prepares us for every step of life. The God that is love knows how we’re made – material and spiritual – we need tangible ways to live our faith.

Edith Stein: The Seventh Chamber
This is a moving, artistic portrayal of the life of Jewish philosopher, Catholic convert, and Carmelite martyr, Edith Stein. It captures the interior struggles of this extraordinary woman, as well as the great conflicts from her decision to convert to Catholicism. Deeply influenced by the writings of St. Teresa of Avila, she joined the Carmelites, took the name of Teresa Benedicta of the Cross, was put to death in Auschwitz in 1942, and canonized by John Paul II in 1998. This film shows how two worlds, the Jew and the Christian, were united within her in absolute coherence in her search for truth.

Prayer for Spiritual Communion
My Jesus, I believe that you are present in the most holy Eucharist. I love you above all things, and I desire to receive you into my soul. Since I cannot at this moment receive you sacramentally, come at least spiritually into my heart. I embrace you as if you were already there and unite myself wholly to you. Never permit me to be separated from you. Amen.
Q&A
Q. What do I do if I cannot go to confession or receive Holy Communion because of the Coronavirus?
A. In the circumstances of public Mass being suspended and Lenten penance services being canceled, there are devotions that enable you to receive forgiveness of your sins (under certain conditions) and the consolation of the grace of the Eucharist. These devotions have been encouraged by the church in times of great distress and have been practiced by the saints.

Bells in Solidarity
To demonstrate our solidarity with everyone who is impacted by the coronavirus, we will ring the church bells at noon. At this time, we encourage you to pray the Angelus as a family in your homes and conclude with the prayer to Our Lady of Seattle.
The Angelus Prayer (English)
V. The Angel of the Lord declared unto Mary.
R. And she conceived of the Holy Spirit.
Hail, Mary, full of grace, the Lord is with thee; blessed art thou among women, and blessed is the fruit of thy womb, Jesus. Holy Mary, Mother of God, pray for us sinners, now and at the hour of our death. Amen.
V. Behold the handmaid of the Lord.
R. Be it done unto me according to thy word.
Hail, Mary …
V. And the Word was made flesh.
R. And dwelt among us.
Hail, Mary …
V. Pray for us, O holy Mother of God.
R. That we may be made worthy of the promises of Christ.
Let us pray: Pour forth, we beseech thee, O Lord, thy grace into our hearts, that we to whom the Incarnation of Christ thy Son was made known by the message of an angel, may by his passion and cross be brought to the glory of his resurrection. Through the same Christ Our Lord. Amen.
