RCIA CORNER
On February 21, our Catechumens and Candidates celebrated the Rite of Sending by enrolling their names. Later that day, they celebrated the Rite of Election with Bishop Carlos Sevilla. At the Rite, our Catechumens (not Baptized) were presented to the Bishop. They were declared to be members of the Elect, that is, chosen by God. At this Rite, our Candidates (already Baptized) were recognized for their desire to receive the Sacraments of Confirmation and Eucharist and to be in full communion with the Church. All of our Elect and Candidates were impressed with the grandeur of this event! All Parishes in the diocese that have an RCIA process were represented in Yakima on the First Sunday of Lent. Holy Family Parish was almost full.
Please continue to pray for the Elect and our Baptized Candidates as they prepare for the Sacraments of Initiation during this period of Purification and Enlightenment.
PLEASE PRAY FOR OUR CONFIRMANDI
The doves hanging in the foyer have the names of our Confirmation candidates on them.
Please take one and commit to praying for that candidate as they prepare the receive the sacrament. To show your support, please drop off at the parish office a card or letter by March 5, 2010, with the candidate’s name on the outer envelope.
The candidates will be making a retreat March 12 - 14, 2010 and will be confirmed on May 1, 2010.

Boy Scout Troop 168
Boy Scout Troop 168 participated in the Klondike Derby on February 20. Their snow caves and igloos were widely admired by the other troops. They were the fourth team to finish all the events on the Tundra Trail. Then in the afternoon, they came in first in the 14 and up sledge race and second in the 13 and below sledge race.
A great time was had by all.
We want to thank the parish for the support you have provided over the year.
