Giving
Our 2026 Annual Catholic Appeal theme is:
“Together in Faith. We are the Catholic Church in Western Washington.”
The Annual Catholic Appeal is our archdiocesan-wide fundraising effort that supports ministries and services in parish families throughout Western Washington.
As the living body of Christ in the world today, we form disciples, celebrate the sacraments, welcome people, care for the sick, accompany people on their faith journey and much more. From hospital and prison ministries to multi-cultural ministries to clergy support, your donation to the Annual Catholic Appeal allows us to do together what one parish cannot do alone.
Your generosity is vital to sustaining the many ministries and services offered by our regional church, including shared services directly supporting our parish family.
To see how your financial gift makes a real impact, view the archdiocese's annual report here.
Any donations received above our parish goal will come back to the parish.

How we used our rebates from the 2025 Annual Catholic Appeal
Thanks to your incredible generosity, both St. Vincent and St. Theresa exceeded our ACA goals in 2025,
so every dollar above those goals was rebated to us by the archdiocese.
Here's how we put those rebate funds to use:
St. Theresa
Our rebate was used where it was needed most: supporting our general operating expenses. Although it was a modest return, the additional funds gave us a financial cushion to help fund essential utilities, supplies and resources needed to keep our church warm, welcoming and open for Mass, ministries and community gatherings every week. It is a powerful reminder that every gift, no matter the size, directly sustains the heartbeat of our parish.
St. Vincent
Our larger rebate allowed us to invest in long-awaited upgrades to our sound system in the church and social hall. The social hall now has consistent, clear audio coverage, thanks to new ceiling speakers and sound system upgrades. In the church, we have significantly improved the acoustics for liturgy and music. We reactivated three downward-facing choir speakers and added two more suspending microphones in the choir loft. Overhead, we removed the outdated beam speakers. At the ambo, we installed dual microphones to make sure the Word of God is heard clearly by all.
Looking ahead
Any rebates received from the current 2026 Annual Catholic Appeal campaign have been earmarked to enhance and beautify our parish campuses.
