Everything we receive is a gift from the Lord in His goodness and love for us. At this time every year parishioners are asked to renew their financial commitment to the parish after praying about the gifts that God has given to them. As disciples, we are invited to make Jesus a priority in our lives – and that includes everything, including the way we use the money we have received. Your support of our parish and our work and ministry is vital as we continue the work of Jesus Christ here in West Seattle.
