Stewards Among Us: Bob & Karen

Bob and Karen have given their gift to the Annual Catholic Appeal some time ago, along with over 400 other donors. After further discernment, the Brubacks graciously pledged that they would provide an additional gift, a match to donations made to the 2016 Annual Catholic Appeal, up to a total of $500.

Although Saint Patrick Catholic Church has mets its goal in pledges- those pledges still need to be fulfilled if we are to receive a rebate and ensure that we do not fall short of our goal and need to remit a payment to the Seattle Archdiocese.  Currently our pledge fulfillment rate is 68%. So fulfill your pledges and then get a matching donation from your comany so that we can improve accessibility to our parish for all.  Our parish rebate project carries a price tag of $20,000.  We have a ways to go!
