Newly Selected PFAC

Dear Friends in Christ,
 
After a process of extended discernment and consultation, I am happy to announce that the following people have agreed to serve on the new Parish Family Advisory Council (PFAC):
 
Assumption
Barrett Eastwood
John Dougherty
MK Rodgers
 
St. Bridget
Ilaria Hare Heiderich
Emily Showman
Eric Verzuh
 
St. Catherine
Cassandra Evandy
Jim Hochstein
Shannon Wilson
 
OLL
Judy Armstrong
Chris Covey
Edgar Gonzalez
 
Thanks to the many other qualified people in our four parishes who were nominated but not selected because of limited spots available on the council. There will be other opportunities for them and others to contribute to the Partners in the Gospel Process.
 
Role of the Parish Family Advisory Council
This council is the pastor’s go-to group to consult about Partners in the Gospel, including changes that impact the parish family, shared events, collaboration across parishes, and more. Comprised of parishioners from each parish in the parish family, this council focuses on the health of the entire parish family, looking beyond the needs of each individual community. They will be the key consultative body for the creation of the strategic pastoral plan called the One Parish Plan that will be submitted to the archbishop prior to becoming one canonical parish. They will also help ensure the necessary discernment processes are in place for the completion of the strategic pastoral plan.
 
You will regularly hear about the work of the PFAC in the months and years to come. Please pray for the success of this group as we plan to renew the life of our Catholic Community in NE Seattle. Thank you for your support!
 
Blessings,
 
 
Fr. William Heric
