Circle History - St. Therese Circle - est. 2015
St. Therese Circle began when six inspired St. Louise School moms spread the word about ACC’s mission with friends who shared their steadfast faith and generosity. Before they knew it, the group had grown to 18 members.
 
The Circle was named in honor of St. Therese of Lisieux and her beautiful message that all deeds, especially little ones, should be motivated by love for God and neighbors. With guidance from the ACC organization, St. Therese Circle was established on March 31, 2015.
 
Six months later, we held our first major fundraiser, Cooking for a Cause. In the following years our fundraisers varied until we established our most popular and successful, Brats, Beer & Bingo, hosted on the last Saturday in January at St. Louise Parish in Bellevue.
 
Although our members have changed over the years, we are always dedicated to ACC's goal of helping children and families in need in the greater Seattle area. Our intention is to gather in our shared Catholic faith to support our community as well as each other. We each contribute in countless little ways, and by joining together we strive for an even more meaningful outcome.

Cooking for a Cause Fundraiser
Picture
This newly formed Circle, based at St. Louise in Bellevue, hosted their inaugural fundraiser, Cooking for a Cause. Members of St. Therese prepared summer sensational themed dishes that any "foodie" would be excited to serve. The recipes were compiled into an eCookbook, which was distributed to all who attended and donated to the event.
 
Pregnancy Support provided a compelling speaker, who was able to share a personal story, and help our members and their guests connect wholly to our cause. More than 40 women joined us for a great evening, and we had our own 6-8th grade kids assist in preparation and serving.
