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 Achieved OUR Financial Goal!
As our 2016 Annual Catholic Appeal is coming to a close, we thank the 406 donors who have pledged $119,397 as of July 13, 2016, reaching 100% of the $118,416 goal established for the parish by the Seattle Archdiocese. 


OUR Donor Goal is Still Up for Grabs!
Last year 434 donors raised over $121,000.  This year our goal is to increase our donors number by 5% to 456 donors generously supporting ACA.  Our true goal is 100% parishioner participation - 1100 donors - whether it is a financial gift or a gift of prayer.


We Still Need YOU to Donate
Have we heard from you? If we haven't heard from you, we ask that you join us in support of this very worthwhile campaign.  If everyone that supported the Annual Catholic Appeal in 2015, but still has not contributed this year, gave at the same level as they did last year we might be able to improve handicap accessibility at Saint Patrick Catholic Church.


Accessibility for ALL
Contributions above our parish goal of $118,416 will stay in the parish in the form of a rebate from the Seattle Archdiocese.  The rebate will be used to improve handicap accessibility at the Church.  Two additional handicap door openers would be installed: one for the door entering the main sanctuary of the Church and the other for the door to the ground floor entrance off the handicapped accessible parking, by the elevator to ensure that all are welcome by way of these enhancements. 


Matching Gifts Will INCREASE Our Rebate
Help increase our rebate through matching gifts! Have you checked with your employer about matching your gift? Most companies have matching gift programs and many of those companies match the Annual Catholic Appeal.  You can double your gift to the ACA in a few easy steps. Once your gift has been paid in full, apply for the match per your employer's instructions. The Annual Catholic Appeal, Archdiocese of Seattle, is a tax-exempt organization under Section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code. Tax ID # 91-0778147.

Saint Patrick Catholic School News



No Summer Slide Here! 

We are ready to climb! 

Teachers at every grade level have prepared summer reading recommendations and math problem sets for kids to keep their minds active. 

The reading lists include recommended reading times and books, and for some grade levels, required reading and writing work. The math work and recommended links will help prepare students for the next grade level. 

These are great resources for any student and not just Saint Patrick Catholic School students. 

Summer Learning Resources

Encourage your friends to visit Saint Patrick Catholic School this summer for a tour. We would love to meet them and show them the school.
