HOW WILL THE CALLED TO SERVE AS CHRIST CAMPAIGN INVEST IN OUR PARISH?

Our parishes are the cornerstones and gathering places for our faith community. As part of this campaign, 15 percent of the funds raised by the parish are returned for specific parish needs, such as reducing debt, completing capital improvement projects or growing endowments.

In our parish, the money raised will be used for handicap accessible church doors, parish center technology upgrades, and to replace the carpet in the parish center and throughout the church hallways, cry room, and sacristy. The remainder will be used to support the retirement and medical needs of our priests and sisters throughout the Archdiocese.

Archbishop Sartain is calling on the entire parish to make a gift to the Called to Serve as Christ Campaign. Your support to this campaign will impact the future of the Archdiocese of Seattle and our parish for years to come.

To date, our parish has raised $59,500 toward our goal of $1,045,118. For more information about this campaign, please visit www.calledtoserveaschrist.org.
