Annual Catholic Appeal 2020
If each parish household participates, we can surely reach our goal. Once each parish surpasses their goal, 100% of the overage is returned back to the parish. By now you should have received the ACA materials in the mail (although there was a Post Office delay) from Bishop Daly and we ask that you respond with a generous spirit. Mail in your ACA envelopes or drop them off in the collection basket for us to return to the Diocese of Spokane. You can also go online to dioceseofspokane.org/give
The goals set up by the Diocese for each of our parishes are:
St. Mary’s (Chewelah) $35,137
Holy Ghost (Valley) $5,994
Sacred Heart (Springdale) $2,936
Pledged so far
St. Mary's - $14,870 (42.3%)
Holy Ghost - $5,075 (84.7%)
Sacred Heart - $2,400 (81.7%)
By Fr. Mike Ishida
Father's Corner Week of Nov. 22
Do we take our relationship with Our Lord seriously? It’s a question we all need to ask, after all he is Our King, Our Savior and Our Lord. The price of admission into heaven is we obey all of His commands not just what we want to. The fact that Christianity says we need a Savior means it isn’t an equal relationship as the last Judgment Gospel indicates. God does the judging and we are judged. Ask God for the grace to love him and give yourself to him so he can prepare you for the day when you meet him.
