Partners in the Gospel

Now underway

On July 1, 2024, Rev. Cal Christiansen began serving as Pastor for Parish Family # 34:


St. Martin of Tours and Holy Rosary Bilingual Academy

All Saints Parish and School (Puyallup)

and

Sacred Heart (Tacoma)


Our Parochial Vicars are Father Dexter Dais, Father Tony Kitema and Father Gilberto Mora Tapia.


Please pray for these pastoral leaders in the coming years, during which time our Parish Family will work together to become 1 canonical Parish by 2027. This pastoral planning effort is taking place across the Archdiocese of Seattle to reinvigorate and renew our local Church to better respond to the needs of the people and reflect the realities of today. Learn more about Partners in the Gospel by clicking here.

Commissioning of PFLT and PFAC members

Integral to the implementation of Partners in the Gospel are 2 groups made of parishioners and staff from our 3 Parish communities - the PFLT (Parish Family Leadership Team) and PFAC (Parish Family Advisory Council) - which Father Cal commissioned on July 13, 2025, at All Saints during the 11 am Mass.


May the Holy Spirit guide these groups in the months ahead!

PFAC update (September 2025)

The following message is from PFAC Chair Vivian Shannon:


PFAC met again on Sunday, September 7. At that meeting, we made final edits to the parish survey (which can be viewed here). We also made initial plans for the parish focus groups/listening sessions that will be held in late October. The intent of these two engagement opportunities is to gather critical information that will help us define who we are now, for later discernment of who we want to become. There is so much to look forward to as our Parish Family forms into a canonical Parish by 2027 through Partners in the Gospel.


We encourage each Parish household to complete ONE survey (available here to fill out online). Paper copies are available inside church and can be dropped off either in a collection basket at an upcoming Mass, or at the Parish Office: 2323 54th Ave E, Fife 98424. We also invite all to October's focus groups/listening sessions. (Details to be provided in the coming weeks.)


Your voice is integral to this process. PFAC thanks you!
