These Sessions will focus on the challenges and opportunities for our Parishes. The wisdom you share will not only help us progress in the current One Parish Planning process, but also build by 2027 a strong canonical Parish, equipped to further Christ's mission.

Who We Are: A Summary

All are invited to click the button above to view Who We Are: A Summary, a 16-page document in both English and Spanish that includes the following:

• an introduction from Father Cal
• Sacramental and financial data encompassing the 2024-2025 fiscal year for our 3 Parishes
• results from this fall's Parish Family Survey and first round of Synodal Listening Sessions

We extend gratitude not only to the members of our PFAC and PFLT (pictured below) for organizing the large amount of information for this document, but to the hundreds of parishioners from All Saints, St. Martin of Tours and Sacred Heart for their faith-filled participation in the Surveys and Listening Sessions, two key aspects of this phase of the One Parish Planning process that we are currently undertaking together.

May we continue to pray and care for one another in the new year, asking the Holy Spirit for guidance in our efforts to unite as one canonical Parish.

What is 'One Parish Planning'?

Our Parish Family is made up of the following communities of faith:

All Saints Parish and School

St. Martin of Tours Parish and Holy Rosary Bilingual Academy (Fife)

and

Sacred Heart Parish (Tacoma)

Under the leadership of our Pastor (Father Cal Christiansen) and Parochial Vicars (Fathers Dexter Dais, Quy Duong and Gilberto Mora Tapia), our Parish Family is currently working together to become 1 canonical Parish by 2027 through One Parish Planning. This effort is taking place across the Archdiocese of Seattle to reinvigorate and renew our local Church, in response to the needs of the people and the realities of today.

What are 'PFLT' and 'PFAC'?

Key to the successful implementation of One Parish Planning are 2 groups consisting of representatives from our 3 Parishes: PFLT (Parish Family Leadership Team; comprised of Parish staff) and PFAC (Parish Family Advisory Council; comprised of volunteers). Please pray that the Holy Spirit continues to guide these consultative bodies.
