Each year, our parish joins together with parishes across Western Washington in the Annual Catholic Appeal (ACA)—a shared expression of faith, stewardship, and care for one another throughout the Archdiocese of Seattle.

The Annual Catholic Appeal supports vital ministries and services that no single parish could sustain on its own, yet which touch countless lives every day—from Vancouver to Blaine, Forks to Snoqualmie. Through the ACA, we help bring Christ’s compassion to those in hospitals and prisons, accompany immigrants and refugees, form future priests and deacons, support youth and young adults, and strengthen faith formation across cultures and generations.

Your gift also supports essential archdiocesan services that directly serve our parish family. Shared resources such as human resources, clergy and leadership formation, financial services, communications, facilities support, and information technology allow parishes to focus less on administration and more on pastoral care, evangelization, and building vibrant communities of faith. Centralizing these services is both cost‑effective and mission‑focused, helping to strengthen every parish across the archdiocese.

Importantly, parishes that exceed their Annual Catholic Appeal goal receive the overage back as a rebate for local parish needs. Many parishes have used these funds to support meaningful projects such as kitchen renovations, playground improvements, sound system upgrades, and other investments that directly enhance parish life and hospitality.

When you give to the Annual Catholic Appeal, you are supporting both the wider Church and your own parish community. Together, we become one mission, one family—living our faith in action and helping the Church continue Christ’s work of love, mercy, and hope throughout Western Washington.
