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.

PARISH FAMILY 45 UPDATE
Check this page for regular updates on where Parish Family 45 is at in the Partners in the Gospel Process!
Update - April 9, 2025
All parish families in our archdiocese are tasked with forming a “Parish Family Advisory Council”. This council is comprised of parishioners from all three locations in our parish family, and their task is to help our parish family discern our future parish life.
We are excited to announce the Parish Family 45 Advisory Council! Please keep this council in your prayers as we continue to work through the Partners in the Gospel process.
All parishioners at all three locations will have the opportunity to participate in this process through listening sessions throughout different stages of the process. Please watch the bulletin for more information on when these listening sessions will take place.
