Annual Catholic Appeal
Thank you to the many of you who have chosen to make your gift to the 2026 Annual Catholic Appeal, as well as our parishioners who are monthly recurring donors to the ACA. Your support matters for religious and lay leaders serving in a variety of roles within our local Catholic Church. Whether it is a future seminarian seeking guidance and resources, a member of the deacon formation program, or a lay leader who has received training or education because of your support. Through your gifts, we can ensure the vitality of our Catholic community. Your support is the reason why our local Catholic Church can continue to spread the joy of the Gospel in the world today. It’s easy to give to the 2026 Annual Catholic Appeal. Click the button below to donate to the Annual Catholic Appeal.

Steubenville Northwest
July 10th - 12th | Spokane, WA
Graduating 8th graders through graduating seniors are invited to this annual youth conference for a weekend of faith, fellowship and fun. We will once again be taking a group from the parish family. Signups and payment are due by June 19th. We have some donors who support youth formation. These funds will be used to cover the cost for chaperones and transportation, and to subsidize the fees for our youth. While the regular rate would be $375 per youth (based on rooms of 4), the subsidized fee for 2026 will be $300. The cost includes lodging, meals for the weekend, the conference fee, and a tshirt. Scholarships are available in cases of financial need. To sign up as a youth or chaperone, email youth@mqp.org.
LEAD is a leadership program during the week leading up to the Conference, July 6th - 10th. The cost is $450 and there are 20 spots available. Youth would need to make their own transportation plans to get to Spokane. The cost includes lodging and food for the week but does not cover the cost of Steubenville weekend. Here is a link to find out more information and to apply by May 31st if interested. https://steubenvilleconferences.com/franciscan-lead/
