This campaign is an historic effort for the Catholic Church in Eastern Washington and the Catholic Foundation. With a successful campaign, steps will be taken to ensure that the Catholic presence remains viable in Eastern Washington for years to come. We know that our greatest strength is the faith of our people, and this campaign is centered primarily on people and their spiritual growth and development. However, we also need to rely on the generosity of our people to be successful in achieving our dreams. Your gift goes beyond helping a seminarian. It is a commitment to the strength of the Catholic Church in Eastern Washington. By giving to this campaign, you are answering a part of God's call. By saying "Here I am, Lord, send me," you are making an investment in the future of our Church.

As in 1913 when the Diocese of Spokane was founded, we hope and pray that every Catholic household in our diocese will respond to the challenge, and help what was built on faith to grow and thrive in the future.

"...No one shall appear before the Lord empty-handed, but each of you with as much as you can give, in proportion to the blessings which the Lord has bestowed on you."
