The audio from these Q&A sessions will be posted on our YouTube channel, and archived below.
Town Hall - Queen of Angels - Sept. 25, 2024
Highlights from this session:
- Why aren’t we haven’t blessings for children and non-Catholics during communion time at Mass?
- What about having a special blessing for those who can’t/don’t receive after Mass?
- Are there plans to offer some kind of special opportunity for students of public schools to serve as ministers at Mass?
- Further concerns/questioning about blessings at communion time
- What about putting off changing and putting the question to the bishop?
- Is the question of blessings at communion doctrine or discipline?
- Didn’t the family Mass – that aimed at including children & young adults participating as ministers – end up with the same people volunteering over and over?
- Especially given issues of disruptions at Mass by mentally ill and/or homeless visitors, could we establish security teams at our parishes?
- Question about starting new initiatives for adult faith formation
- Would it be possible to keep vigil Masses at both Queen of Angeles and Saint Joseph?
- Why couldn’t we have two vigil Masses on Saturday?
- Is it possible to have a Sunday Mass at 5:00 pm?
- Questions/concerns about the possibilities of what three Masses on Sunday might look like
- Concern about Sunday evening Mass being a priest-killer
- How is the chancery addressing priestly vocation discernment?
Click here to read more on Fr. Maurer’s blog.
Town Hall - St. Anne - Aug. 24, 2024
Highlights from this session:
- If an elderly or handicapped person can’t come up for communion, what are the options for the Eucharist being brought to them?
- What is the parish family’s new emergency number? (360) 809-6907
- Can we put the confessional (at St. Anne in Forks) back up front?
- We’re excited about what you’re doing, but what happens in 2-3 years if you (the pastor/priests) get moved?
- What can you tell us about the current stage of discernment around the vigil Mass at St. Anne?
- What about training for liturgical & ministerial training for the various roles?
- What happened to the answers & results of the questionnaires from the archdiocese that we took so much time to answer?
- Could we have petty cash at the parish office (at St. Anne) in order to offer help to those who come to our door looking for help?
- Do we have to call up the office at Queen of Angels in Port Angeles to arrange for Mass intentions at our local parish?
- What about printing our bulletin locally to allow for more flexibility?
- Currently, how can a parishioner arrange for a Mass intention? (bonus: explanation of upcoming online calendar publishing coming to our parish family)

Town Hall - St. Mary Star of the Sea - July 26, 2024
Highlights from this session:
- Is there going to be an emergency number for a priest in case you need one?
- Are we going to get all three priests at our (any given) parish over time?
- Will we keep our donations here – in this parish to pay for all of our expenses and staff?
- What about parish groups that have their own funding or whatnot?
- What about pastoral and finance councils – how will that work?
- What’s the timeline for our parishes become one parish family?
- In the beginning it seemed like priests living together was super important, but now that’s gone away? Also, will there be a priest here to lead things like Bible study?
- I’m concerned that in the changes with the vigil Masses at the central regions would weight on parish having the ‘prime’ Masses (the vigil & the late morning Masses) and the other having lesser Masses
- What about the Saint Joseph rectory in Sequim?
- Will the Spanish Mass still be available?
- Would Father Gali (or Father Ed) be available for pastoral care?
- Are you trying to solve the problem of priest vocations by encouraging married priests or women priests?
- Could we consider making Eucharistic adoration more available? And could we have more communion services so people could at least receive communion?
- Are we going to have more times here at Saint Mary?
- I think we need to generate excitement – we need to be open to new initiatives to generate excitement
- Why did you bring the guy from the chancery? (Introducing our Parish Liaison from the Archdiocese)
- What about Mass intentions?

Letter from Archbishop Etienne
Parish Families Form Across the Archdiocese of SeattleStarting July 1, 2024, the 136 parishes in the Archdiocese of Seattle will become 60 parish families, with eight stand-alone parishes. This comes after two years of planning, extensive consultation, and discernment. Each of these parish families will be led by a pastor or pastoral coordinator, and many will also have a parochial vicar assisting. Together, over the next three years, each parish family will work to form one new canonical parish, while creatively re-envisioning how they will serve their community. Archbishop Paul D. Etienne released a letter to the People of God to commemorate this important and historic next chapter in the Archdiocese of Seattle.
Partners in the Gospel UPDATES
Partners in the Gospel is a strategic pastoral planning effort taking place across the Archdiocese of Seattle to re-invigorate and renew our local Catholic Church.

Our Parish Family
- Our parish family includes St. Joseph in Sequim; St. Anne in Forks, St. Thomas the Apostle Mission in Clallam Bay, St. Mary Star of the Sea in Port Townsend, and Queen of Angels in Port Angeles.
- Over the next three years, the five churches will come together to eventually become one canonical parish.
- This does not mean just one church building or campus.
- Once the new pastors are in place they will work in consultation with the Archdiocese on any changes to Mass times, councils, services, staffing etc.
- The Archdiocese will provide a “new parish family liaison” to help with the transition.
What parishioners can do
- Continue to pray for this renewal effort, and specifically pray for the members of our new parish family. Look to what role you can play in making our new parish family succeed.
- Lastly, please stay engaged:
- Sign up for the Partners in the Gospel UPDATE newsletter (scroll to the bottom of that page to sign up).
- Read Northwest Catholic magazine (registered parishioners receive this subscription for free; you can also read online)
- Participate in upcoming prayer and fellowship opportunities.

Called to Serve as Christ Campaign

Thank you so much for your generosity! With their share, Queen of Angels will upgrade the school heating; St. Joseph will make needed remodels to the rectory. Click the button below to learn more or add your pledge today!
