7th Sunday of Easter

Dear Parishioners, dear Friends,

Although the school year isn’t quite over yet, this will be our final church bulletin with a special focus on schools before the summer break begins. As students, teachers, and families push through one last big “Hauruck”—that final burst of effort—we’re already allowed to start dreaming of the holidays to come.

In English, the word “holidays” refers not only to vacation time but also to special days of celebration. As we move into the summer months, I hope the spirit of the holidays lingers in your daily life. May you find ways to create “holy moments”—those small, sacred pauses that refresh the soul.

These moments might come through a heartfelt conversation with a friend, a personal ritual that brings peace, or a worship service that speaks to your heart. However, they appear, may they become your own “celebration days”—times to recharge, reflect, and reconnect with what truly matters.

Archbishop Etienne: “Together in Faith”

The Annual Catholic Appeal funds ministries and services for your local Catholic community – including your neighbors and parish. Your contributions secure the future of the local Church by supporting Catholic education, CYO camps, faith formation and guidance and training for our seminarians, clergy, and lay leaders. Your donation also funds shared services directly supporting your parish.

How do I participate?

While we are a parish family, each of the parishes has their own ACA goal and rebate project. You can participate by either filling out an envelope (mailed out as well as in the pews) or by visiting: archseattle.org/giveaca.

When donating, please select the parish you want to credit with your ACA donation and your contribution will count towards your parish’s goal.

Choose St. Anne Parish – 15 – Seattle  This way you will support the St. Anne rebate project: ROOF REPAIRS! Last year’s rebate in addition to this year’s rebate will be going towards roof repairs. Learn more about St. Anne’s ACA and our goal for that parish here.

Choose Sacred Heart of Jesus Parish – 13 – Seattle  This way you will support the Sacred Heart of Jesus rebate project: RAILINGS WITHIN THE SANCTUARY! This year, the rebate money will help with the installation of railings within the sanctuary. This will help ensuring the Redemptorists and other presiding priests have the support they need while moving
around the sanctuary. Learn more about Sacred Heart of Jesus’ ACA and our goal for that parish.

Choose Our Lady of Fatima Parish – 8 – Seattle   This way you will support the Our Lady of Fatima rebate project: BOILER REPAIR! This year, the rebate money will be to recoup the
ongoing expenses associated to the boiler repair. It is a $50,000+ bill and unfortunately still not fully repaired. Learn more about Our Lady of Fatima’s ACA and our goal for that parish.

Dear Parishioners,

Dear School Families of Our Lady of Fatima and St. Anne,

As we prepare to embrace the warmth and joy of summer, I would like to extend my heartfelt wishes for a restful and rejuvenating break to all our students, parents, teachers, and staff. May these restful days bring laughter, adventure, and treasured memories for each of you. May they also be a time to renew and refresh our spirits, drawing ever closer to Jesus in prayer and reflection.

The close of this school year also marks a significant moment of gratitude and transition for our communities. We honor Susan Burdett, who graciously came out of retirement to serve as interim principal at Our Lady of Fatima, guiding us with wisdom and dedication during this transitional year. Likewise, we express deep appreciation to Heidi Austin, whose forthcoming retirement from St. Anne concludes years of faithful and inspired leadership.

Both Susan and Heidi have touched countless lives through their kindness, vision, and unwavering commitment. We are immensely grateful for their selfless service and pray for abundant blessings upon them and their families as they embark on the next chapters of their journeys.

Wishing you all a blessed and delightful summer break.

In Christ,

Fr. Freitag

Pastor
