As always we invite you to share your story or upcoming events for your Saint Patrick Catholic Church affiliated organization or ministry! Send us the scoop! Let us tell the story and invite our faith community to join together in fellowship and prayer as we journey together discerning and discovering the Mission that has us.  


We have now moved into our 7th week of the 2016 Annual Catholic Appeal. The good news is we have received pledges from 325 donors who pledged $103,566 as of June 9, 2016,  reaching 87% of the $118,416 goal established for the parish by the Seattle Archdiocese.  

The not so good news is that there are more than 700 parish families who have not yet responded. However, it's not too late for you to give!
 
Your gift to the Annual Catholic Appeal supports more than 60 ministries and services that are offered to thousands of individuals across Western Washington. 

If you haven't already made your gift, please consider making a gift this year? No gift is too small. If you're unsure what to give, please consider a gift of $1 a day or $365 or more. Discern your gift and make your pledge today!  Help us reach our goal before the end of June.

Pope Francis' Jubilee House

Wall Raising

Attend the 'Wall Raising'- kind of like a ground breaking. The Wall Raising is scheduled for Saturday, June 11, 2016 at 1 PM.  Father Nick Wichert, the Dean of Pierce Deanery, will offer a blessing.

Parishioners will be provided permanent markers with which to write prayers, messages and well wishing on the house framing materials.


Frame the House

In support of the Wall Raising, 20-30 volunteers are needed for that Saturday to work on the house framing. To volunteer, call Tracey Sorenson, 253-627-5626, extension 104.

It is the hope that volunteers are representative of each of the deanery parishes. The Pope's Jubilee house will be in TPC H4H's community called, 'The Woods' lot #218. The street address is 1006 104th St E, Tacoma WA 98445.
