SEATTLE (CNS) Archbishop Paul D. Etienne launched the next phase of the Seattle Archdiocese’s pastoral planning with an invitation.
He asked all Catholics, parishes, schools and Catholic ministries “to begin prayerfully considering the ways we carry out the basic mission” of the Catholic Church. “Specifically, how do we bring Christ to others and lead others to Christ?” he said.
The pastoral planning effort began in 2019 with the creation of the office for Planning and Mission Effectiveness, led by Tim Hunt, executive director.
