We asked, and you answered! Catholics from around the Archdiocese of Seattle share the best non-material gifts they’ve received.

“Recibimos la vida no para enterrarla, sino para ponerla en práctica; no para conservarla, sino para darla. Quien está con Jesús sabe que el secreto de poseer vida está en darla”.

"We received life not to bury it, but to put it into play; not to keep it, but to give it. Whoever is with Jesus knows that the secret to possessing life is to give it.”

P: Quisiera hacer más este Día de Acción de Gracias además de ir a Misa con mi familia. ¿Cómo puedo hacer que esta fiesta tenga un sentido más espiritual?

Q: I want to do more this Thanksgiving than just go to Mass with my family. How can I make this holiday more spiritually meaningful?

Giving thanks for the great gift of community
