For all who have died especially Thomas Bennett, father of Nathaniel Bennett; Dale Vaughn, and David Arteaga. May their lives be brightened by Christ's loving presence.

It is that time again to kick off the Annual Catholic Appeal. The theme this year is “One mission, one family—together in Christ.”

You should have received a letter from Archbishop Etienne. Please read his letter carefully and consider how each one of us lives out the mission of our Church, accompanying one another as disciples in Christ.

Our parish goal this year is $97,000. All gifts received over our goal will be returned to the parish for our parish project which is to rejuvenate the exterior of the church which includes replacing caulking around stained glass, masonry work, washing brick, etc. Please know that we are grateful for your generosity.

Please consider a gift to this year’s Appeal by going online at www.archseattle.org/GiveACA. It is secure and convenient.

Our candidates recently completed their confirmation retreat at the Palisades in glorious Federal Way! They truly experienced God’s love as expressed in the beauty of our natural surroundings and discovered community and joy, a taste of the Kingdom. Thank you to all the students, staff, volunteers and parents that made this possible.

I am sharing pictures of the activities we had last Sunday with a group of children preparing for First Communion. This group of kids had fun with a Piñata organized by Sisters of Santa Luisa de Marillac. 35 Children: Boys and Girls will be having the sacrament of First Communion on December 8th this year. To prepare for this, they go and study every Sunday. Most of them are between the ages of 8-10 years old. They also attend the elementary school and prepare themselves for this important step in their lives. Sister Martha and Sister Katherine who you see in the pictures are the ones in charge of the classes. -Keyla

Like all of the parishes in our Archdiocese, OLL SVdP faces huge changes as we reorganize into our new parish families. Last month, we gathered with fellow Vincentians from Assumption/St. Bridget last month, and we will continue to meet and make plans with our parish family in coming months.

In the meantime, our neighbors continue to need us to stand with them every day. Since January we have made more than 80 home visits and offered almost $30,000 in food, rent, and utility payments to families across our parish. Your generous donations underwrite our work, and we are so honored to be serving our neighbors on your behalf. Thank you! -OLL St Vincent de Paul

During this Earth Month of April we find ourselves in a battle we know and care about - Planet vs. Plastics! It's important that we build a future without waste and plastic is the biggest challenge. It’s everywhere. Follow the Catholic Climate Commitment as you reduce your need for plastics.
