Dear Friends,
I’m writing to invite you to participate in Archbishop Etienne’s
2023 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 $11 million and, of
this amount, our own parish of St. James Cathedral is being
asked to raise $383,376 (which is $64,000 more than last year!).
Everything given over and above that amount will come back to
the parish for our own needs. This year we intend to use
the rebate to enhance the Terry and Marion entrance to the
Cathedral, which has become the Cathedral’s main entrance. We’ll
begin with some notable upgrades to the interior vestibule and
restrooms. Eventually, I dream of changes to the exterior
entrance to make the Cathedral an even more welcoming place. We
have set our rebate goal for this year at $180,000, which brings
our total goal to $563,376. It is a daunting figure,
but I am confident we can meet it.
Would
you please consider making a gift to this year’s Annual Catholic
Appeal? You can fill out and return the enclosed pledge card, 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
