Partners in the Gospel is an archdiocesan-wide renewal effort to better
support vibrant, sustainable, mission-focused parish communities across
the entire Archdiocese of Seattle. Parish families, comprised of one or more
parishes, will create new vision plans together for how to best carry out the
mission of the Church helping others know the love and joy of Jesus Christ.

Who Are We - Gifts Survey!
WE NEED YOUR VOICE
GIFTS SURVEY: WHO ARE WE?
Every parishioner is encouraged to participate in our Gifts Survey, open now through Monday, September 14. Your voice matters! The responses will help us recognize and celebrate the gifts present throughout our Parish Family and will help shape our upcoming listening sessions. Take a few minutes to tell us: Who are we?
Need a paper survey?
Printed copies are available in the Narthex for those who prefer or need one. When possible, we encourage completing the survey online to help us efficiently gather your responses.
WHAT IS THE ONE PARISH PLAN?
As part of Partners in the Gospel, the Archbishop has given to our three churches the mission of coming together as one parish and entrusted us with the task of figuring out how best to do this as we serve God and the people of Redmond, Duvall and Carnation. This is what the One Parish Planning process is all about. In the past year, we have been getting to know each other and working together in a number of concrete ways. This coming fall and throughout the rest of this year we will be engaging in a concerted effort of preparing this One Parish Plan. We will need your help and participation in this process. There will be surveys, listening sessions, and opportunities to provide your input. We very much will need that input—so you are invited to take an active part.
WHY ONE PARISH PLANNING?
The One Parish Planning process will help parish families develop their vision and plan for how to re-envision parish life as they become one new canonical parish. All parish families in the archdiocese will be going through this process, and all parishioners will have the opportunity to participate.
WHO IS LEADING OUR
PARTNERS IN THE GOSPEL PROCESS?
This process will be guided by the Parish Family Advisory Council (PFAC) and will act as the main consulting and working group for the pastor. They will be supported by the Parish Family Leadership Team comprised of staff from each parish, as well as support from Parish Liaisons and Chancery staff.
Please continue to look to this page and other parish media for the latest updates of this journey.
