Dear Friends, I’m writing to invite you to
participate in Archbishop Etienne’s 2022 Annual Catholic Appeal.
This Appeal is all about being Catholic, all about being part of
a Church that stretches far beyond the boundaries of our own
parish. The Annual Catholic Appeal is a combined effort of 169
parishes to support a vibrant Catholic community in Western
Washington. The Appeal funds Catholic social outreach
ministries, programs for youth and young adults, seminarians,
Catholic schools, Hispanic and multicultural ministry, as well
as administrative support for parishes including liturgy
guidance, human resources, and much more. The
Archbishop’s goal for this year’s Appeal is $10.8 million and,
of this amount, our own parish of St. James Cathedral is being
asked to raise $319,221. Everything given over and above that
goal will come back to the parish for our own needs.
This year we intend to use the rebate to support our ministry to
immigrants, migrants, and refugees through the St. James
Immigrant Assistance Program. I think this ministry is more
important now than it has ever been before, given what is going
on in our world! We have set our rebate goal at $180,000, which
brings our total goal to $499,221. Let’s call it $500,000!
Would you please consider making a gift to this year’s
Annual Catholic Appeal? You can fill out and return the enclosed
envelope, or make your gift online at
archseattle.org/GiveACA. As always, I am profoundly
grateful for all the ways you support St. James Cathedral and
the work of the Church in Western Washington. May God abundantly
bless you during these beautiful Easter days.
Sincerely yours in Christ,
Father Michael G. Ryan
