The 2025 Annual Catholic Appeal is here! Your support is crucial for helping St. Thomas Aquinas further our mission to spread the Gospel of Jesus Christ in communion with the whole Church in Western Washington. This year, our combined Archdiocesan & Parish goal  is $94,019. Of that amount, $84,019 will go toward the Church in Western Washington, and $10,000 will go towards the continued development of Columbia River Catholic's Preschool and Kindergarten, hosted on our campus.  Every dollar received over $84,019 will come back to St. Thomas Aquinas for our project.

Yet, the more important goal is participation and Fr. Nathe wants everyone to take part. 

Fr. Nathe is asking every household in the parish to commit to 1% of your annual household income or $1.50 a day ($550) (whichever is more) over the course of the next year. 

These funds will help the Archdiocese shelter the homeless, care for retired priests and nuns, train seminarians to serve as our future priests, and so much more! It will also also help our CRC Preschool and Kindergarten develop to accommodate its growing student body.

It's your generosity that will make the ministry of the Archdiocese and this much needed parish project a reality. I hope to be able to count on you and your good stewardship. 

To pledge, go to the Archdiocese’s ACA Giving page. Pledging online is a safe, secure, cost-effective and time-saving for staff! For any questions call the parish office or 1-800-809-4921. You may also find physical pledge cards in the pews at the parish.

Thank you for your support.
