20th Sunday in Ordinary Time

God bless,

your St. Anne parish team

For all parents of children seeking 1st Reconciliation, 1st Communion, and Confirmation, registration time is almost upon us! Due to the parish family merging on July 1st, many of our parish systems surrounding the sacraments needed to be adjusted to the clergy and staff changes. Concretely, this means that registration and preparation will be slightly delayed this year as compared to previous years. Please keep your eye on bulletins and e-newsletters in the weeks to come – more details will follow soon!

Any questions can be directed to Jessica Harris, the Parish Family Director of Evangelization at jharris@stanneseattle.org or jharris@olfatima.org.

Your Parish Family Team

Are you looking to grow in your relationship with God? Check out our Exploring Catholicism Class (formerly called RCIA). Classes will be on Thursday evenings from 6:30pm to 8:30pm starting on September 26 at St. Anne, and anyone is welcome to join! To register use this form. For questions or more details, please email Jessica Harris at jharris@stanneseattle.org or jharris@olfatima.org.

We are looking forward to seeing you there,

Dear Parishioners,
I hope you all had a lovely feast of the Assumption!
Thank you all for your continued support,
Brigid

FINANCES

As of this week we successfully raised $8,951 over our Annual Catholic Appeal goal. This means that with the matching gift, we have $17,902 going towards one of the three rebate projects which is very exciting! If you haven’t had a chance yet, I’d encourage you to check out the new entrances to the St. Francis Garden – all these improvements are from your generosity towards the 2023 ACA goal.
The new liturgical banners, the 2022 ACA rebate project, have unfortunately been delayed due to the recent and unexpected passing of Jean Hushebeck who was helping lead that initiative. Please continue to keep her and her family in your prayers and we appreciate your patience in the delay.

FACILITIES
The church doors are a work in progress. The electronic system has failed, and it is looking like we need a new one as the current one was installed by a company that is long out of business and we cannot get new parts. A company came out to inspect them this past week and we are waiting on a quote from them before moving forward. We did receive a diagnostic of the handicap doors but are holding off on doing those until we know how that might be impacted by the new door system.
We have wrapped up the Giving Tuesday project as of last week! The security camera is installed by the chapel door. This will be helpful in keeping our campus safer. Unfortunately, we did not receive the security grant from the State of Washington, so we would need to pay for additional cameras ourselves when the time comes.
