WELCOME TO MASS - NO NEED TO REGISTER!

“And they recounted to them how he was made known to them in the Breaking of the Bread.” (Luke 24: 35)

The Eucharist, the Gift of God, is our nourishment, sustenance, salvation – for in receiving the Eucharist we receive the sacramental presence of Jesus, Body and Blood, Soul and Divinity. And our participation in the Eucharistic Liturgy is a participation in the life of the Body of Christ, which we are.

Gratefully we can celebrate the Mass together again! With COVID restrictions in place, St. Aloysius does NOT require registration for weekend masses. All guidelines will continue such as church capacity, mask required, spacing during communion. The social distancing protocol will remain with every other pew roped off. Please come early. Our mass times are 5:00pm Saturday, 8:30 and 10:30am Sunday.

If you have any pastoral needs at home, including Anointing of the Sick, please contact Fr. Clarence Jones at 253-263-0833 so that he can assist you. 

The obligation to attend Sunday Mass and Holy Days of Obligation continues to be suspended as long as the pandemic continues.

DEVOTION OF THE MONTH - APRIL

Month of the Holy Eucharist

Since the 16th century Catholic piety has assigned entire months to special devotions. The Church traditionally encouraged the month of April for increased devotion to Jesus in the Holy Eucharist. "The Church in the course of the centuries has introduced various forms of this Eucharistic worship which are ever increasing in beauty and helpfulness; as, for example, visits of devotion to the tabernacles, even every day; Benediction of the Blessed Sacrament; solemn processions, especially at the time of Eucharistic Congresses, which pass through cities and villages; and adoration of the Blessed Sacrament publicly exposed . . . These exercises of piety have brought a wonderful increase in faith and supernatural life to the Church militant upon earth and they are re-echoed to a certain extent by the Church triumphant in heaven, which sings continually a hymn of praise to God and to the Lamb 'Who was slain.'" --Pope Pius XII

DON'T SAY GOD IS SILENT WHEN YOUR BIBLE IS CLOSED

The original author of this quote is unknown, but it is exactly right. The Bible is God’s Word. Many Catholics know they ought to read the Bible more often, but struggle to understand it.

PLEASE CONTINUE TO PRAY!

Please continue praying the rosary during these uncertain times as we continue to seek the intercession of Our Lady of Seattle for protection from this pandemic.

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!
