Pastoral Update - June 2018

With enthusiasm Christ Our Hope Catholic Church congratulates Father Paul Magnano being named a "Senior Priest" and Parish Priest, assisting at the five parishes of the Skagit Valley. Fr. Paul's last Sunday masses at Christ Our Hope will be July 1, 2018.

We also welcome Father Bill Heric as our new priest administrator! His first day will be July 5, 2018 and his first Sunday masses at Christ Our Hope will be July 7, 2018.

All are welcome to celebrate a final potluck hospitality hour with Fr. Paul from 6 to 7 PM on Sunday July 1 in the Josephinum Lobby.

The complete list of Pastoral Appointments for the Archdiocese was annouced on May 22, 2018.

Annual Catholic Appeal 2018

UPDATE - May 24, 2018. I am happy to announce that on Ascension Sunday, our Parish Feast Day, we met our ACA goal for the Archdiocese of $44,000! Each of you are generous parishioners giving of your time, talent, and treasure - thank you. Anything above our goal comes back for our own needs in the parish. Last year we raised more than $100,000. I know we can do the same this year.

We heard from Alan Frazier on Pentecost Sunday about the next project we want to accomplish inside the Josephinum building (or, more exactly, on the roof above our Pastoral Center). You can read the details from his talk here on the creation of a roof-top garden for the benefit of our neighbors in the Josephinum and for the use of parishioners.

Thank you,

Fr. Paul Magnano, Pastor
