Thank you to the 146 households who have contributed over $70,000 to the 2018 ACA. On Ascension Sunday, our Parish Feast Day, we met our ACA goal for the Archdiocese of $44,000! Each of you are generous parishioners giving of your time, talent, and treasure - thank you. Anything above our goal comes back for our own needs in the parish. Last year we raised more than $100,000. 

This year we heard from Alan Frazier on Pentecost Sunday about the next project we want to accomplish inside the Josephinum building (or, more exactly, on the roof above our Pastoral Center). You can read the details from his talk here on the creation of a roof-top garden, see photos above, for the benefit of our neighbors in the Josephinum and for the use of parishioners.

Every spring we are called by Archbishop Sartain to participate in the Annual Catholic Appeal. We are encouraged to prayerfully consider our response as faithful stewards of the gifts which God has generously given us, and support the essential ministries and shared services of the Archdiocese.
 
The Annual Appeal supports more than 60 ministries and services that provide needed assistance throughout the Archdiocese, including programs here at Christ Our Hope. This year our parish goal is $50,000. If we exceed our goal, all excess payments received will be returned to us to help fund a parish project. Last year, we used our ACA rebate to fund the startup costs to a roof garden for the residents at the Josephinum - see the photos to the left.

This year, our project is to support our Parish Outreach Programs. We are a beacon of light in downtown Seattle and our compassionate outreach is only possible with your support!

One program in particular will be our Immersion Program, which brings hundreds of Catholic School Students downtown for a service learning experience.
