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!
