The ACA is an annual campaign of the Archdiocese of Seattle that runs from April to April each year. This campaign supports the programs and ministries serving our brothers and sisters throughout Western Washington, from Vancouver to Blaine, Forks to Snoqualmie. It also funds Archdiocesan services and programs that directly support our parishes and missions. Read more about how your support makes a difference

2022-2023 Annual Impact Report

Your Annual Catholic Appeal donation helps fund ministries and services that benefit people across parishes, cities, cultures, and generations. This includes hospital and healthcare ministry, prison ministry, immigrant and refugee ministry, multi-cultural ministry, seminarian formation, faith formation, youth and young adult ministry, and so much more.

Parishes are the direct recipients of the ministries and services supported by the Annual Catholic Appeal. Shared services include human resources, clergy and leadership training, parish financial services, communications, property and construction, and information technology to name a few. Centralizing these services is cost effective and allows parishes to spend more time on fostering their parish and community. With your support, we can simplify workloads, improve communication, and elevate the faith journey for every person within our parishes.

Parishes that exceed their Annual Catholic Appeal goal will receive that overage as a rebate toward a parish project. Parishes have used this as an opportunity to fund a kitchen remodel, install new playground equipment, or invest in a new sound system—all to give back to their parish community.

Give the amount that is most meaningful to you. Last year’s average donation across the Archdiocese was $515. Please consider a contribution of 1% or more of your annual income to support this vital campaign. Moreover, a dollar a day goes a long way ($365 for a year) in support of our local Catholic community.
