We're thrilled to announce that Father Edgar Quiroga will be joining Holy Apostles Catholic Church as our new Associate Priest! Father Quiroga brings a wealth of experience and faith to our Yakima Diocese community. We eagerly anticipate his arrival in August and look forward to learning from him and growing in our faith together. Father Quiroga has a heart for serving those in need, and previously participated in a special seminary program focused on migrant farmworkers. Through this program, he lived alongside these hard-working individuals and celebrated Mass with them, fostering a deep connection within the Catholic community. Mark your calendars and get ready to give Father Edgar a warm Yakima welcome in August!

This year was our biggest ever, with 1500 of our parishioners joining together and trekking to Lincoln Park, where a total of 3000 people gathered for a special mass led by Bishop Tyson. It was a beautiful symbol of our growing community and strong faith!

☘️ It's hard to keep a good Irishman down... Fr. Seamus Kerr has been recuperating from a broken leg the last few days at Central Washington Hospital in Wenatchee after falling and breaking a bone in his left leg in the chapel at Holy Apostles Catholic Church in East Wenatchee. He'll move to a rehab facility tomorrow and hopefully won't need surgery to heal up. First time to spend St. Patrick's Day in the hospital. He is keeping us in his prayers and would appreciate ours. And St. Patrick's prayers as well. 🙏

Today marked a bittersweet moment for our parish family. Deacon Tom Richtsmeier faithfully served our community for many years, and this weekend, he celebrated his final service before moving to Oklahoma with his family.

Deacon Tom's dedication to spreading the word of God and his commitment to our church has been a true blessing. We are incredibly grateful for his countless contributions, his warm spirit, and his unwavering faith.

Though we'll miss Deacon Tom dearly, we wholeheartedly wish him and his family all the best in this new chapter. May God continue to bless them on their journey!

🌟 The community warmly welcomes Father Orozco back from his missionary trip to Colombia. We deeply missed him and are thrilled to have him home, continuing his inspiring work in spreading the word of God. A heartfelt thank you to Father Mario for covering during his absence. 🙏
