The Annual Catholic Appeal is an opportunity for all to support the mission of the Catholic Church in Western Washington. Because of the donations of many generous hearts, St. Martin of Tours Parish has achieved its 2026 Appeal goal of $36,388. There's still time to give! Funds received above the goal amount return to the Parish for improvements to our church roof.

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

Who We Are: A Summary

Click here to read

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 November: For priestly vocations as part of Partners in the Gospel

For an increase in priestly vocations, that many generous-hearted young men may respond to the call to serve God as parish priests in this local Church

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, Suresh Gali 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.

Pray for our priests

Your prayers help our priests find hope and strength in their vocation. All are invited to join the Archdiocese of Seattle's Pray for our Priests ministry and receive weekly prayer intentions and other resources for supporting these dedicated servants of our faith communities - sign up here.

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.
