ST. JOHN the EVANGELIST INPUT
for the N. Seattle Deanery Pastoral Planning

      The number of Catholics in our Archdiocese has grown to 600,000 served by 174 Parishes and Missions.  Our Archdiocese is facing a shortage of priests.  It is critical that we develop approaches that insure that our Parishioners have adequate clergy, as well as parishes and facilities to serve them.  To read more about this - ‘Partners in the Gospel’ - Northwest Catholic: Read Catholic News & Stories (nwcatholic.org) .

      Originally back in January 2016, Archbishop Sartain called for the Parishioners of our Archdiocese to engage in a process to plan to address these challenges. As Archbishop Etienne continues in this process,  our time to respond is now.  I am asking for your input on this very important issue, so I can best represent our parish's desires. Asante Sana.

 

Baraku ya Yesu!
