- The Annual Catholic Appeal is underway! Each parish in the Archdiocese of Seattle is responsible for a portion of operating costs of the Church in our Archdiocese. St. John the Evangelist Parish says “thank you” to the 79 parish families pledging to date. All parish members are asked to pledge either a monetary gift or a prayer. Use the pledge card you received and send to Mary Wiseman in the parish office for information on pledging by check, donating stock and other options, or link here to donate online.
