MISSION STATEMENT: As part of the living Body of Christ, Saint Cecilia parish on Bainbridge Island seeks to conform to the will of God through faith, works, teaching and stewardship of God’s creation as guided by the Holy Spirit, by the teachings of Christ, and the Grace of the Father. We celebrate this mission daily in prayer, liturgy, sacraments and life.
Dear Parishioners,
The Church calls for Catholic parents to have infant children baptized in the first weeks after birth. Meanwhile, pastors are asked to discern the likelihood that the child will be raised in the Catholic Faith. If there is some question, he may delay the baptism and work with parents to overcome issues of concern, such as: lack of regular participation in Mass, a marriage not recognized by the Church, and/or lack of participation of older children in faith formation classes.
The pastor also needs to make provisions for appropriate preparation of the child’s parents. Consequently parents are encouraged to contact the parish well before the birth of a child to allow time for appropriate preparation. At St. Cecilia, Terry Markuly in the Faith Formation office schedules the classes every several months, as needed. The Church states that there should be a sponsor, “insofar as possible” for the one baptized. The popular term godparent is often used. If there are two, one is male the other female. They are to help the child to live the Christian life. The Church specifies sponsorship requirements: The sponsor must be 16 and confirmed (written proof is required in the archdiocese of Seattle) and one who “leads a life of faith.” While the latter is not spelled out, most parishes require sponsors to affirm that they attend Mass regularly and if not single, are in a marriage recognized by the Church. People sometimes react to what they see as strict requirements for sponsors. Yet it is logical that one sponsoring someone into an organization be a fully initiated member of that organization (in this case, having received the Eucharist and been confirmed) and a fully participating member. Someone once noted that it seems harder to qualify to be a sponsor than a parent. A priest friend responded: “We don’t choose our parents, but we do choose sponsors.”
Hopefully awareness of the requirements for baptismal sponsorship will encourage our young people to seek Confirmation and maintain their faith practice, so they can one day serve as sponsor for nieces and nephews and the children of friends. Yours in Christ,
St. Cecilia Parish – Bainbridge Island, WA

MINISTRY SPOTLIGHT
Island Volunteer Caregivers : "Ubi caritas est vera,
Deus ibi est … Where true charity is, there is God."
Over 160 volunteers (many from St. Cecilia’s) assist
their neighbors by providing services that help people
age in place safely and remain engaged in their
community. Volunteers do transportation for medical
appointments, social or recreational activities, grocery
shopping and errands, help with pet care, light
housekeeping or yard care, take people for walks or to
the museum, read to visually impaired persons;
provide companionship or respite care for family
caregivers
and more.
Longtime
volunteer, Ned Kiley, shares, “After my wife Ruth
passed away, I felt I had developed some skills as her
primary caregiver throughout her illness. I had taken
her to many medical appointments and had a good feel
for navigating medical facilities. I learned to
empathize with the physical and emotional effort it
takes to go to these appointments when one is not in
good health. When I heard about IVC through the
Ministry Fair, it sounded like the perfect place to put
these skills to use. IVC is a great way to practice the
corporal and spiritual works of mercy by visiting (and
actually assisting) the sick and comforting the afflicted
by your presence and empathy. I have met some
inspiring people showing great courage in the face of
great challenges.”
Noel Hanish says, “Volunteering for IVC has benefited
me as much as the people I help. I’ve been incredibly
blessed in my life and as a Catholic and a Christian I
feel called upon to do what I can for someone who is
struggling. And I meet some very interesting people!”
