Roof Recovery Appeal
Last fall we completed a necessary roof replacement to prevent further water damage and protect our parish facilities. This work was essential to avoid much larger, long-term repairs.
To recover financially we must raise $73,000 in one-time gifts. If you can, please donate today. For full details, read Fr. Moore’s complete letter on his site.
Every gift, large or small, brings us closer to our goal. Thank you for your generosity.

St. Kateri Tekakwitha, the first Native American saint, has a special connection to St. Joachim: the second miracle credited toward her canonization took place right here in our county. We’re honored to celebrate her feast day alongside our Lummi neighbors.
