“Washington state will not force clergy to violate seal of confession”

As reported from Northwest Catholic magazine:

The State of Washington will not force Catholic priests to violate the sacred seal of confession, according to a settlement announced Oct. 10.

“The governor, attorney general and all county prosecuting attorneys have agreed to a court order finding that the state law violates our free exercise and have agreed not to force priests into the impossible choice between obeying God or complying with the law,” the five bishops of Washington state said in a statement.

Annual Catholic Appeal

Annual Catholic Appeal 2025

Each year, the Annual Catholic Appeal invites us to come together as one Church—supporting ministries, outreach, and services that extend far beyond what any single parish could accomplish.

This year, our parish goal is $103,380. Currently, we are still about $7,000 short of our goal. If we do not reach it, the parish must cover the shortfall from our savings—resources we hope to reserve for parish needs and future ministries.

St. Anne has a remarkable, unbroken history of always reaching our Annual Catholic Appeal goal. This is a testament to the faith, generosity, and commitment of this parish. Let’s continue the tradition this year! Truly, no gift is too small—when we all participate, together we can achieve this. All gifts received over our goal will be returned to the St. Anne parish for our parish projects.

Please know that we are grateful for your generosity.
