Bulletin for Sacred Heart of Jesus, Our Lady of Fatima, & St. Anne
Prayer of St. Teresa of Avila
Christ has no body now on earth but yours; no hands but yours; no feet but yours.
Yours are the eyes through which the compassion of Christ must look out on the world.
Yours are the feet with which He is to go about doing good.
Yours are the hands with which He is to bless His people.
Amen.

The Christian steward is a person whose prayer leads to a constant awareness that God is the creator of all blessings in life, spiritual and material. Jesus presented the ultimate gift to God–the gift of His life–and we, too, are called to follow Jesus’s footsteps by:
- Receiving God’s gifts gratefully – a grateful steward never stops saying “thank you.”
- Developing our gifts responsibly – not only using them prudently but making sure that they do not wither away.
- Sharing our gifts with others in love to build a just society – a good steward knows it is better to give than to receive.
- Returning our gifts and all we have been able to do with them to the Lord.
Please prayerfully consider making a financial commitment to support our parish. Even a modest recurring gift helps sustain our ministries, care for our facilities, and support those who come to us for help. When used according to God’s will, our financial means can be a sort of prayer, one that demonstrates our love and gratitude to God and our trust in His plan for our lives. Our spending habits are also a reflection of who and what we truly love, and God asks us to love Him above all else.
It’s easy to make your stewardship of treasure gift to our parish. Follow the links here to access the online giving page for each parish:
If you prefer to give offline, please fill in a pledge card, which may be put in the collection basket or mailed to the parish office.

Call to Serve through Liturgical Ministry
Across the parish family, we are asking for more parishioners to step into the vital work of liturgical ministry. There is a diversity of opportunities through which to serve. Each ministry is essential to the celebration of Mass and offers a meaningful way to deepen your faith and support our parish community. Please prayerfully consider how you might be called to serve. All positions are open! Extend a personal invitation and ask a friend how they plan to serve!
Sacred Heart of Jesus also asks for altar servers and for basic help with cleaning and preparing the church for Mass. Adults can serve as altar servers too! Call the parish office or email parishoffice@sacredheartseattle.org. Trainings are to be determined or will happen on an individual basis.
Our Lady of Fatima also asks for hospitality ministers, altar servers, and weekday sacristans. Call the parish office or email officemanager@olfatima.org. Trainings are to be determined or will happen on an individual basis.
St. Anne especially needs sacristans, extraordinary ministers of Holy Communion, lectors, ushers/greeters, and those willing to help with cleaning the altar linens. For those serving at St. Anne, please RSVP through this link. All trainings will be held in the church.
