Father Ben Bray explains how the Appeal helps priests here


The Annual Catholic Appeal is an opportunity for all to support the mission of the Catholic Church in Western Washington. Every donation brings St. Martin of Tours Parish closer to reaching its Appeal goal of $36,388. Funds received above this amount return to the Parish for improvements to our church roof.


Visit ArchSeattle.org/GiveACA or click the image below to contribute online. Pledge envelopes can also be found at church beginning Sunday, April 26. Thank you for uniting in faith with thousands of other Catholics across our Archdiocese for this important campaign.

Who We Are: A Summary

We extend gratitude not only to the members of our PFAC and PFLT (pictured below) for organizing the large amount of information for the above documents, but to the hundreds of parishioners from St. Martin of Tours, All Saints and Sacred Heart for their faith-filled participation in the Surveys and two rounds of Listening Sessions, 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, asking the Holy Spirit for guidance in our efforts to unite as one canonical Parish.


Prayer Intention for June: young adults

For young people, that they may be nourished, supported, engaged and challenged to grow in faith in this Parish Family.

What are 'Partners in the Gospel' and 'One Parish Planning'?


In July 2024, the Partners in the Gospel initiative grouped Catholic churches across the Archdiocese of Seattle into distinct Parish Families. Our own Parish Family consists of the following communities of faith:


St. Martin of Tours and Holy Rosary Bilingual Academy

All Saints Parish and School (Puyallup)

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 pastoral effort is taking place across the Archdiocese of Seattle to 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.
