Hello again everyone! I hope that everyone is still hanging in there and doing well in the summer heat.
Unfortunately, we are having to cancel our indoor Mass. The county was premature in allowing the dispensation and we are now having to wait again until our infection rate drops again.
Our outdoor Mass is still at 6:30PM on Saturday evening and we now also have a Vietnamese Mass that will be offered every Saturday at 7:30PM, beginning last weekend, July 11th. We will still also have a Sunday morning outdoor Mass at 8AM.
The livestreamed Masses are on Saturdays– Spanish at 4pm and English at 5pm. Please pray that do your part as well to help keep our infection numbers going down so we can all come back together again.
Attendance for outdoor Masses is limited to 100 people per Mass; those who attend MUST wear a mask the whole time, maintain a distance of 6 feet from others, and bring their own chairs.
You must register to attend these Masses. Here’s the link to sign up: https://www.eventbrite.com/o/christ-the-king-parish-30417877024
Please DO NOT attend the outdoor Mass if you are ill or vulnerable (or live with someone who is ill or vulnerable). Small children should not attend. Attendance is at your own risk. The general dispensation from attending Sunday Mass remains in effect.
We are continuing to livestream daily Mass on weekdays at 8AM and a Holy Hour (Exposition, Adoration, and Benediction) on Fridays at 6:30PM.
Confessions! Saturday afternoon at 3:30PM to 5PM in the School Cafeteria!
1. Please park in one of 10 numbered parking spots in the lower parking lot on Stevens Drive. If the spots are full, wait until one is available.
2. Wait in your car for an usher to indicate your turn. If you have more than one person in your vehicle, one occupant at a time will proceed to the cafeteria and the others will wait in the car. No more than 8 per car.
3. Maintain a distance of 6 feet from others.
4. Sign in before you enter the cafeteria; registration is for your own protection/contact tracing and the list will be shredded after 14 days.
5. Be mindful of the time spent in confession so all can be heard.
6. Use the hand sanitizer we’ll have available.

**UPDATE** Here is Bishop Tyson’s official announcement for Fr. Edgar- https://yakimadiocese.org/2020/06/15/fr-edgar-quiroga-assigned-to-christ-the-king-catholic-church/
For more updates from Bishop Tyson, keep on eye on the Diocese’s webpage: https://yakimadiocese.org/
I want to thank everyone for their generosity, their cooperation and selflessness. We have been able to do all of this and start having Confessions again because all of you have been helping us follow the guidelines by wearing your masks and keeping a safe distance from everyone when coming to Mass.
I have also sent out a survey to everyone I had e-mail addresses for asking what their preference was for video meetings and if that would even be an option for them in order to have a virtual bible study. There were also some ideas of what bible studies we could do, since the videos were online. If you have any suggestions/ preferences or would like to take the survey, please e-mail me at ckadultre@gmail.com.
Meggin, there was a FB update within the last few days regarding Fr. Edgar’s visa status. I copied it below:
Thank you for your prayers for Fr. Edgar Quiroga, regarding his petition for R1 (religious worker) status! USCIS will restart its premium processing service in about two weeks and if all goes well, we should receive good news by the first of July. Keep those prayers coming, as we continue to pray for all those facing difficulties due to the coronavirus pandemic.
