Town Hall Meetings
Nov 8-9, after each Mass in the Parish Hall
Partners in the Gospel, the process by which the Archdiocese of Seattle is reorganizing 163 separate parishes and missions into 60 new parishes by 2028, affects all of us. Our Columbia River Catholic Parish Family (Holy Redeemer, St. Thomas Aquinas, and Our Lady Star of the Sea), is engaged in a methodical, multi-phased effort to envision and determine how to become a parish that can best glorify God and sanctify souls throughout our local area. This process requires active consultation with all parishioners and town hall meetings will be held at all three campuses.
We need your participation and input!
Please plan to attend one of the two sessions at St. Thomas this weekend.

We strongly encourage your participation. If you are not able to participate in person for any of these dates, please complete our Town Hall Survey by clicking

Winter Hospitality Overflow: WHO
Winter Hospitality Overflow (WHO) is devoted to helping those in need during winter’s coldest months. Guests are offered not only a warm place to sleep, but a hot shower, meals, and the welcome and warmth of a caring community (that's you!) working to address the most basic of human needs. This shelter operates from November 1 to March 31 each year. This year, all members of Columbia River Catholic have the opportunity to participate.
Please sign up to help if you can. Thank You!
