Parish Stewardship End of Year Parish Tax Statements Coming the Week of 2/5

Asante sana to all of you who have supported St. John Parish financially this past year; it is greatly appreciated! You should see your End of Year Giving Statements for 2023 in your mailbox next week.

That being said, we have just switched over to a brand new database, and we are still working on getting the bugs out. Your statement will also look different than in past years and include an itemized record of all your tax-deductible payments. Thank you for your patience as we navigate generating the statements for the first time using this new system.

Please feel free to contact Teresa Gillett at the Parish Office, 206-782-2810, ext. 355 or tgillett@stjohnsea.org with any questions or concerns you may have.
