2011-2012 Chairman
Joseph K. Carson

Recently, our Worthy State Deputy Don McBride, was able to obtain another Image of Our Lady from Supreme for circulation in Washington. We decided to send the new Image to the west side of the state, to join the one that is already there. That area has many more Parishes than the east side of the state, so two Images are needed and I’m sure they will be well received. I sent the Image to Bellingham in District 9, and it is presently under the control of District Deputy Dale Boudreau. The plan is to pass this off to other Districts to the south of Bellingham, until it meets up with the other Image on the west side. At this point, Brother Joe Plant, State Marian Devotions Chairman, and I will sit down and revise the schedule. It looks like we will just reverse the direction of the Images, so that Parishes that were missed the first time through can be visited.

Here is a summary of the progress of the program, and scheduling for the next few months. The first west side Image began its journey in the Vancouver area, and traveled through Longview, Aberdeen, Lacey, Lakewood, and Gig Harbor, and is now in District 24 in Sequim. It will next visit District 3 in Buckley, District 12 in Federal Way, and then Districts 15 and 1 in Seattle. As I mentioned before, the new second Image is in Bellingham, and will visit District 32 in Camano Island, District 19 in Oak Harbor, District 13 in Granite Falls and Everett, and then District 21 in Edmonds. The third Image is now in the Yakima Diocese. It has visited Districts 6 and 17, and is presently in District 7. This Image has been in some of the Yakima Parishes, and has traveled through Moxee, Sunnyside, Toppenish, Grandview, Prosser, Benton City, Richland, and Kennewick. This Image is scheduled to visit Walla Walla, Eltopia, Connell, and then it will return to Yakima, and then visit Ellensburg, and Wenatchee. The fourth Image is in the Spokane Diocese, and has been making the rounds of the Spokane Parishes, and has been to Cheney and Pullman. It is scheduled for District 33 and then it will return to District 8.

Some progress has been made on this program, but lately the weather has been a problem. Our goal is to have the Images visit every Parish in our state by the summer of 2013. For information on this program, contact me at 509- 734-4787.

God Bless you all and I would especially like to thank those Brothers who are helping with this wonderful program.

Fraternally, Joseph Carson, State Church Chairman
