It is time again for the Annual Catholic Appeal - our parish's support of the many ministries and offices of the Archdiocese of Seattle. This year our parish goal is $28,756 and we surpassed that at $33,870 with donations and pledges. Everything above our goal will come back to the parish for much needed projects!

Jubilee Year 2025 was established by Pope Francis, calling the faithful to become Pilgrims of Hope. For pilgrims travelling to Rome for the Jubilee, there will be many events, including the opening of the holy doors at various sites.

To participate in the Jubilee locally, the archdiocese has established five specially designated pilgrimage sites where the faithful can visit on their own schedule, either one or all of them. Learn how to participate locally at archseattle.org/Jubilee2025.

Next weekend (and every first weekend of the month), our parishes will collect donations for St. Vincent de Paul. Vincentian volunteers visit neighbors in South Seattle to offer both a compassionate presence and tangible help with rent, utilities, food, and more. Your donations go directly to our neighbors. Donation envelopes are available in the pews, and volunteers are available after Mass to collect donations and answer questions. You can also donate online by scanning the QR code and selecting "St. Vincent de Paul" in the drop -down menu. Additionally, food and household items can be donated at any Mass throughout the month. Please consider supporting our community with your time, treasure, and talent! Vincentian testimonial: When a new neighbor moved into the St. Edward neighborhood, she needed a little help moving a few boxes from her former apartment. Using a wheelchair made the task difficult, and with only a few days before the items would be discarded, a fellow neighbor — a Vincentian volunteer — stepped in to pick up and deliver the boxes left behind. Among the belongings was a treasured portrait of her late husband, who had passed away on their 50th wedding anniversary. Moments like these remind us that small acts of neighborly care can make a world of difference. If you feel called to share your heart and lend a hand, there is always someone waiting for a neighbor like you.

Our parish will take up the Collection for the Archdiocese for the Military Services, USA (AMS), next weekend, a collection approved by the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops to be taken every three years. The AMS provides pastoral care to Catholic men and women serving in the U.S. Armed Forces, enrolled at a U.S. Military Academy, being treated as a patient at any of the 153 U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs Medical Centers, or who work for the federal government beyond U.S. borders - including those from our own parish and diocese. The AMS does not receive any funding from the government or military, and has no parishes from which to receive a weekly assessment. To learn more about the AMS, go to www.milarch.org/nationalcollection
