WHAT IS A PARISH FAMILY?
A “Parish Family” is a grouping of Catholic Parishes in the Archdiocese of Seattle, that, under the leadership of one Pastor, is working to become one Canonical Parish in June of 2027. Our Parish Family (45) includes the parishes, Our Lady of Lourdes, The Proto-Cathedral of St. James the Greater, and St. Joseph.
