NAMALAKA PARISH PROJECTS/PROGRAMS School Feeding Program: This program is sponsored by our Sister Parish, St. Brendan in the Archdiocese of
Seattle. Pupils from standard 1—8 receive porridge rightly called “Brendan Bowl” in honor of our donors.
Since its inception, this program has made several impacts namely:
A. School enrollment ratio has grown.
B. School attendance has improved greatly.
C. Less school drop-outs.
D. The passing rate has increased.
E. The community supports the program happily and their active partici-
pation is also directly felt. As of the second term, the direct benefi-
ciaries have come up to 2,218 pupils from 1,560 from when we
started the program. Indeed the program is growing in strength.

THANK YOU Dear St. Brendan
Parish Community,
We would like to give
a heartfelt thank you
for all the love and
support you have
showed us in the
wake of our Father
and Husband Deacon
Jose Blakeley’s
passing. It was truly
special to see
everyone come to-
gether to help us put
together a beautiful
Funeral Mass that we
are sure he was truly
happy to witness.
God Bless,
Alfredo Blakeley-Ruiz
& Lucinda Blakeley

ANNOUNCEMENTS (Contact Andrea if you have questions or can help out.)
VACATION BIBLE CAMP dates July 9-13! Our theme is BABYLON.
Learn these great Bible stories—Daniel, Shadrach, Meshach, Abedne-
go, and King Nebuchadnezzar. Lots of drama. Lots of fun! Sign up right
after Easter, or start helping with the planning. 3 OR 4 EXTRA-
ORDINARY VOLUNTEERS NEEDED! On the last day of Vacation Bible
Camp (this year July 13) we need 3 or 4 strong determined adults from
1:00 to 5:00 (at the latest) to put away the tents, move heavy objects
to storage, and throw away a lot of trash & recycle. CAN YOU HELP?
These should be people who are not already volunteering
from July 9-13.
LEARNING ABOUT
OUR FAITH
Funerals
When his friend Lazarus
died, Jesus said to Laza-
rus’s sister Martha, “I am
the Resurrection and the
Life.” Christians live in the
assurance that Jesus will
never abandon us, and
that he has prepared a
place for us that we call
Heaven. When a person
dies the family is very sad.
But in the middle of the
sadness we come togeth-
er as family and friends to
be reminded that we have
the hope of eternal life
with Jesus. We remember
the person who has died
and we encourage each
other with this great hope.
Kids Alphabet Soup
W is for Wisdom, one of
the books of the Bible in
the Old Testament.
W is for Worship. We
come together to praise
God and to ask for his
help in our lives.
OLD TESTAMENT
Festivals of the Hebrews
in
Numbers and
Deuteronomy
What are the great festivals of the
Christian faith? Sunday of course.
And here are the main three.
Christmas We celebrate our
thanks that Jesus took on our
human nature and was born as a
baby.
Easter Christ is risen from the
dead, paving the way for us to live
forever.
Pentecost The Holy Spirit fills the
apostles with life and energy, the
Birthday of the Church.
What are the great festivals of the
Jewish faith? Sabbath every Sat-
urday.
Passover God led us out of Egypt.
Pentecost a harvest festival.
New Year celebrated in Septem-
ber.
Atonement We are sorry for our
sins.
Hannukah began in later centu-
ries.
NEW TESTAMENT
Jesus Begins his Ministry
Mark 1: 1-13
Four people named Matthew,
Mark, Luke, and John took on the
joyful work of writing down the
main events of Jesus’s life. Mark
may have been the first Gospel. As
you read through the Gospel of
Mark, you feel like you are rushing
along from one event to another.
In the first chapter we meet “John
the Baptizer,” also called John the
Baptist. He lived in the desert pre-
paring the people for the great
events soon to come. John taught
that repentance (true sorrow) was
our preparation for God’s for-
giveness of our sins. He baptized
Jesus at the beginning of Jesus’s
Ministry. At the baptism of Jesus,
God the Father spoke from heav-
en, and the Holy Spirit came down
in the form of a dove. Immediately
Jesus was sent into the desert for
40 days.

KNIGHTS CORNER Record Turn-Out for Pancake Breakfast
Over 200 people showed up for last week’s pan-
cake breakfast. With heartfelt gratitude, we thank
you fellow parishioners for joining us during our
celebration of Catholic Schools Week. The Knights
will be donating half of the net proceeds to St.
Brendan School to provide upgrades to the school’s
kitchen. We also had mini birthday cakes and sang
“Happy Birthday” to those born in January and we
gave away 4 tickets to the upcoming Matthew Kelly
retreat. To join the Knights, contact
Kevin Van Hollebeke 206-240-0275.
ST. BRENDAN WOMEN’S BOOK CLUB Sometimes its fun to read a book that gives you a gig-
gle or two. That’s what we’ll find when we read “The

the Lighter Side of Catholic Faith, with Recipes for

Matychowiak. Come discuss the cultural traditions of
our faith in a lighthearted manner Monday, February

SOS A big thank you to all of the volunteers and those who have donated to SOS
over this last year. We used $3,000 to prepare over 7600 meals and we pur-
chased over $12,000 of food and supplies for 6 homeless shelters. Volun-
teers have also gleaned thousands of pounds of food to use to prepare our
Thursday meal and donate to shelters and food banks. Without all of the
many volunteer hours and donations, we would not have been able to support
so many in need throughout our community.

REGISTRATION
&
ONLINE GIVING
Every person’s finances
and family situation is dif-
ferent. Jesus makes it
clear that it matters not
how much one gives, but
that it is planned, calculat-
ed, at least some-
what sacrificial (see Luke
24:1-4), and not simply
from what is “leftover” at
the end of the month. We
propose the tithe (10%) as
the ideal every family can
consider working to-
wards. This means taking
steps to give 5% to one’s
parish, and 5% to other
charities or causes you
have personal passion for.
You can register online at
www.saintbrendan.org
and click on the link
“Online Registration/New
Parishioner” on lower left
corner of website and to
give online, click on the
“Online Giving” link. It’s
quick, secure, convenient,
and easy. Your support
helps sustain our parish.
If you need help with
online giving, please call
the Parish Office at 425-
483-9400.
