Dear Friends at St. Louise Parish, I read an article by Archbishop William Lori called “How Church Teaching Can Help Explain Why Black Lives Matter,” in the September 2020 edition of America Magazine (pp. 37, 40-41, or online).. The article provides clear principles drawn from our Catholic Social Teaching to help us reflect on “Black Lives Matter.” And even though Archbishop Lori does not make this point in the article, the principles he names can also be helpful in our prayerful preparation to vote. First, Archbishop Lori makes clear that he does not intend to address or endorse the political organization known as Black Lives Matter Global Network, nor any of the “ideological platforms or tactical strategies of ‘Black Lives Matter’ [that] are in direct contradiction to church teaching and should be rightfully rejected by faithful Catholics.” Rather, the question is “Is there truth reflected in these words [Black Lives Matter] . . . that indeed resonate with the Gospel values that flow from our faith?” He uses four Catholic Social Teaching principles to answer that question.
1. The Dignity of the Human Person, which flows from our belief
that every person is made in the image and likeness of God. The phrase “Black Lives Matter” reminds us that every Black person is made in God’s own image and likeness. Why do we single out Black lives? Because even the Church is guilty of participating in the sin of slavery in the past. Even though slavery has been outlawed in this land for a long time, it has taken too long to change hearts. “The words, ‘Black Lives Matter’ should prompt us to examine our own consciences with regard to racism and spur us on to advocate for racial justice.”. Archbishop Lori points out that this is part of our “’pro-life” stance as Church. “Because Black Lives Matter, then each of us must do our part to create conditions in which every Black person has the opportunity to be born, to grow to maturity, to live in community and to flourish.”
2. The Common Good, which is “the sum total of social conditions
which allow people, either as groups or individuals, to reach their fulfillment more fully and more easily” (Catechism of the Catholic Church, No. 1906). . . . Archbishop Lori continues, “It is for this reason also that Black Lives Matter. Some object that in affirming the importance of Black lives, we are implying that other lives do not matter. Quite the contrary. By finally rejecting a persistent and sinful attitude that places less value on Black lives than on other lives, we are in fact serving the common good. Affirming the dignity of Black lives diminishes no one else’s dignity. . . . The ascendancy of Black lives is not a zero sum gain for everyone else. Rather, it is a source of strength.”
Fr. Gary’s article continues on page 3...
Queridos Amigos de la Parroquia de Sta. Luisa:
Leí un artículo del Arzobispo William Lori llamado “Cómo la Enseñanza de la Iglesia Puede Ayudar a Explicar por qué Son Importantes las Vidas de los Negros”, en la edición de Septiembre de 2020 de la revista America Magazine (pp. 37, 40-41, o en linea)..El artículo aporta claros principios extraídos de nues-tra Enseñanza Social Católica para ayudarnos a reflexionar sobre el tema de “Black Lives Matter”. Y aunque el Arzobispo Lori no señala este punto en el artículo, los principios que menciona también pueden ayudarnos en nuestra preparación para votar, con base en la oración.
Primero, el Arzobispo Lori deja en claro que él no intenta apoyar a la organización política conocida como Red Global “Black Lives Matter”, o ninguna de las “plataformas ideológicas o es-trategias tácticas de ‘Black Lives Matter’ {que} están en contra-dicción directa con la enseñanza de la iglesia y que deberían ser legítimamente rechazadas por los fieles católicos.” En vez de eso, la pregunta es: ¿”Existe una verdad reflejada en esas palabras [Las Vidas de los Negros Importan] . . . que realmente haga eco con los valores del Evangelio que fluyen de nuestra fe?” Él usa cuatro principios de la Enseñanza Social Católica para responder a esa pregunta.
1. La Dignidad de la Persona Humana, que surge de nuestra creencia de que toda persona está hecha a imagen y semejanza de Dios. La frase “Black Lives Matter” nos recuerda que todas las personas negras están hechas a imagen y semejanza de Dios. ¿Por qué señalar especialmente la vida de las personas negras? Porque incluso la Iglesia es culpable de haber participa-do en el pecado de la esclavitud en el pasado. A pesar de que la esclavitud ha estado prohibida por la ley en este país desde hace mucho, a los corazones les ha tomado demasiado tiempo cambiar. “Las palabras, ‘Black Lives Matter’ deberían motivar-nos a examinar nuestra propia conciencia con respecto al racis-mo y animarnos a abogar por la justicia racial.” El Arzobispo Lori señala que esto es parte de nuestra postura “’pro-vida” como Iglesia. “Las vidas de los negros importan, entonces todos no-sotros debemos hacer nuestra parte para crear condiciones en las que cada una de esas personas tenga la oportunidad de nacer, crecer, convertirse en adulto y desarrollarse plenamente en una comunidad.”
2. El Bien Común, que es “el conjunto de aquellas condiciones de la vida social que permiten a los grupos y a cada uno de sus miembros conseguir más plena y fácilmente su propia realiza-ción” (Catecismo de la Iglesia Católica, No. 1906) . . . El Ar-zobispo Lori continúa: “También es por esta razón que las vidas de los negros importan. Hay quienes afirman que, al señalar la importancia de las vidas de los negros, estamos implicando que otras vidas no son importantes. Todo lo contrario. Al rechazar finalmente una actitud persistente y pecaminosa que coloca menos valor en la vida de las personas negras que otras, esta-mos de hecho sirviendo al bien común. Afirmar la dignidad de las vidas de las personas negras no disminuye la dignidad de nadie más . . . Resaltar el valor de la vida de las personas negras no es ganar un juego de suma cero para todos los demás. Más bien, es una fuente de fortaleza.”

WELCOME to St. Louise Parish If you are new here, a returning Catholic, or have been a member and don’t feel connected, contact our Parish Office at 425-747-4450 to find out more information about the parish. If you are interested in registering, fill out an information card, found at the welcome desk in the main vestibule of the church, and drop it in the collection basket, or register online at www.stlouise.org.
BIENVENIDO a Santa Luisa Si es nuevo aquí, está regresando a la iglesia católica, o ha sido miembro y no se siente conectado, póngase en contacto con nuestra Oficina Parroquial al 425-747-4450 para obtener más información acerca de la parroquia.

...Fr. Gary’s article continued 3. Subsidiarity, that is “insofar as it is possible and appro-
priate, problems are to be addressed and initiatives for the good are to be undertaken at the most local level.” Government, churches and other institutions can help; however local groups and organizations should be em-powered to create the conditions for human flourishing. “It should matter to us that far too many of these predomi-nantly Black neighborhoods are deteriorating and ridden with violence and drug use.” While government action is essential, “the residents of these neighborhoods are the most important agents of all.”
4. And finally, Solidarity, which means “ . . . that those who
differ from us—by race, language or culture—are in fact our brothers and sisters. We are bound together by a common humanity and by equal dignity.”
We can use these four foundational principles of Catholic social teaching to reflect on Black Lives Matter and any of the other issues that come up we prepare to vote. Be-sides the social unrest that has been on display these past months over racial tensions, we could think of how to deal with the economic stress due to the coronavirus, abortion, immigration issues, housing, etc. The principles do not tell us how to vote, but rather how to think, reflect and pray as we prepare ourselves to vote. Sincerely in Christ, Fr. Gary Zender

Message from our parish nurse— Marge Baker
The annual flu shot clinic has been CANCELLED due to the coronavirus. The Seattle Visiting Nurse Association that provided the flu shots is not sponsoring public clinics this year. We strongly encourage everyone to get their flu shots at their doctor's office, pharmacy, grocery store, work or whereever you can get one.— Marge Baker, Parish Nurse
Family Faith Formation Current safety precautions because of COVID-19 do not allow in-person classes for children. So, our program will look a little different this year. We are calling the program "Family Faith Formation.” On the First Sunday of the month, we'll host a gathering after the 9AM Mass to celebrate holidays, Saints’ Feast Days and special lessons. For the next three weeks of the month, we will send prayers, family activities and Scripture readings and Saints’ stories via email on Friday afternoon. There is no cost for the program but registration is required, and we ask that you sign up for the 9AM Mass on our parish website. Registration is on the parish website: www.stlouise.org
Sacramental Preparation Children who wish to prepare for the Sacraments of First Reconciliation and First Eucharist must be at least 7 years of age and registered in our school or our Family Faith Formation program.

In the meantime, the online-learning program we have running this Fall at St. Louise for K-8 students is robust and engaging. We would love to welcome new families to receive the benefits of a Catholic school education! Giving your child a Catholic school education is a fundamental way to assure he/she will receive a solid foundation not just in academics, but in morals and faith formation. Graduates of St. Louise Parish School leave us with a strong foundation and go on to do extremely well in high school, in college, and in life.

Stewardship • La Corresponsabilidad
Called to Serve as Christ As of June 4, we had heard from 616 families and for those that were able to make a finan-cial commitment, they raised a total of $1.6 million. We have reached 71% of our $2.3 million goal! We are so grateful for the gen-erous support and sacrifices many families
have made to be part of this important campaign for our priests, women religious and our faith community – thank you! Overall, for the entire Archdiocese of Seattle, the total amount raised for the campaign so far is $53 million by 17,540 house-holds. The total campaign goal is $100 million. This Fall 71 parishes are lined up for the final and largest wave of the cam-paign. Just a reminder that whatever is our parish total amount paid, St. Louise gets 15% as our parish share, which will go towards our Building Fund. When we reach our goal, that’s a potential of $351K that will help seed our next building pro-ject. If you haven’t had the chance to respond, please visit www.stlouise.org/calledtoserve to learn more about the campaign and to submit your commitment. Thank you.
Annual Catholic Appeal
We are most grateful to everyone who has had the chance to respond and raise a total of $129,000 so far — that’s 40% of our $295,000 Annual Catholic Appeal goal – thank you! Out of our 2,000-plus households, we’ve heard from 256 fami-lies. This is great! If each of the remaining 1,700-plus families made a one-time gift of $100, we would meet and exceed our goal. However, not everyone might be able to make a pledge, so if you’re able to, kindly consider increasing your gift. Re-member, equal sacrifice, not equal gifts. Every amount makes a difference. Please consider making a pledge online by visit-ing our website at www.stlouise.org and clicking on the Annual Catholic Appeal button. Thank you for your generous re-sponse.

Cambio climático, Laudato Si y retiro de ansiedad con Jeff Renner, sábado 17 de octubre de 2020
El Comité de Formación en la Fe de Adultos se com-place en anunciar que Jeff Renner se unirá a nosotros para un retiro sobre el cam-bio climático y Laudato Si. El Sr. Renner también hablará sobre la ansiedad en nues-tros adultos jóvenes. Por favor, planee unirse a no-sotros para este retiro virtual
de Zoom el sábado 17 de octubre de 2020, de 1 p.m. a 2:30 p.m. Confirme su asistencia antes del miércoles 14 de octubre para recibir el enlace al evento de Zoom. La información para
confirmar su asistencia estará disponible pronto.
Jeff Renner es un meteorólogo y profesional que pronosticó el tiempo para KING 5 News, afiliado de NBC, en Seattle duran-te más de 35 años. Posee la prestigiosa designación Certified Broadcast Meteorologist (CBM) de la socidad de America Me-teorológica de la que es miembro. Renner se ha desempe-ñado como instructor de meteorología aeronáutica para pilotos de helicópteros del Ejército y como miembro de la junta de Mount Rainier Alpine Guides y Salish Sea Expeditions. Católico activo, el Sr. Renner ha hablado en la Comisión Ecu-ménica e Interreligiosa, de la cual St. Louise es una congrega-ción miembro, y en muchas parroquias católicas sobre el cam-
bio climático y Laudato Si.
... Continuó el artículo del P. Gary 3. Subsidiariedad, es decir: “si es posible y apropiado, los
problemas deben ser atendidos con iniciativas que surjan al nivel más local.” El gobierno, las Iglesias y otras institu-ciones pueden ayudar; sin embargo, los grupos y organi-zaciones locales deberían estar empoderados para crear las condiciones para el desarrollo humano. “Debería im-portarnos que demasiados vecindarios predominante-mente negros están deteriorados y plagados de violencia y uso de drogas.” Aunque la acción del gobierno es esen-cial, “los residentes de esos vecindarios son los agentes más importantes de todos.”
4. Y finalmente, Solidaridad, que significa “. . . que aquellos
que difieren de nosotros —por su raza, idioma o cultura—son efectivamente nuestros hermanos y hermanas. Esta-mos Unidos por una humanidad común y por igual digni-dad.”
Podemos utilizar estos cuatro principios fundacionales de la enseñanza social católica para reflexionar acerca de “Black Lives Matter”, y de cualquier otro asunto, para prepararnos para votar. Además de la agitación social que ha surgido estos últimos meses por las tensiones raciales, podemos pensar en la forma de enfrentar las preocupaciones económicas debido al coronavirus, el aborto, asuntos sobre migración, vivienda, etc. Los principios no nos dicen cómo votar, pero sí cómo pensar, reflexionar y orar ahora que nos preparamos para votar. Sinceramente en Cristo, Padre Gary Zender
