Thank you to everyone who attended our 2026 Cruise Luncheon, and congratulations to all the raffle prize winners! We sincerely appreciate everyone’s presence and support of our mission. Thanks to all of you, we can continue welcoming and giving back to the seafarers who sail into our beautiful Puget Sound.

Congratulations to our Fr Tony Haycock award winners, Robert and Karole Gorman!

We’d also like to offer our thanks to the crew on board and to Holland America Lines for their hospitality and all their help making this luncheon a success! It was a pleasure to hear the crew sing.

And of course, we are so grateful to our volunteers and speakers who are the heart and body of this mission!

Check out our most recent blogpost on how seafarers are being impacted by the ongoing crisis in the Strait of Hormuz:
