On the death of Pope Francis
Eternal rest grant to him, O Lord, and let perpetual light shine upon him.
All are encouraged in these days to pray for the peaceful repose
of the soul of our beloved Holy Father, Pope Francis.
Please read this letter from Fr. Maurer (in English & en español)
SEATTLE, April 21, 2025 – The Archdiocese of Seattle is deeply saddened by the news of the death of Pope Francis, who has been the universal shepherd not just for Catholics, but for all of God’s children. He fought through his recent health challenges with such grace and had a beautiful public moment on Easter Sunday – our holiest of days, celebrating the resurrection of our Lord. What a beautiful gift to the world.
We are immensely grateful for the pastoral care he shared with us and for his lifelong commitment to demonstrating the love of Jesus Christ. He loved the poor, the outcast, the downtrodden, the marginalized, the earth and all of God’s children. His papacy will be celebrated for teaching all of us to love like Christ did. Archbishop Paul D. Etienne shares:
I am deeply saddened at the news of the death of Pope Francis. I am also profoundly grateful for his years of witness to the Gospel. By his teaching and pastoral charity, he has reminded us that the heart of God is loving mercy and all people are called to exercise this mercy in all of our relationships. May Pope Francis now experience the same loving mercy from the living God he served so selflessly throughout his ministry and life. Please join me in praying for the peaceful repose of this good shepherd.
O God, faithful rewarder of souls, grant that Your departed servant Pope Francis, whom You made successor of Peter and shepherd of Your Church, may happily enjoy forever in Your presence in heaven the mysteries of Your grace and compassion, which he faithfully ministered on earth. Through our Lord Jesus Christ, Your Son, who lives and reigns with You in the unity of the Holy Spirit, one God, forever and ever. Amen.
Since there are no Masses
for the dead during the
Easter octave,
Archbishop Etienne
will say Mass with a Votive
for the death of Pope Francis,
next Monday, Apr. 28,
at 12:10 pm
at St. James Cathedral.

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. Starting July 1, 2024, the 136 parishes in the Archdiocese of Seattle will become 60 parish families, with eight stand-alone parishes. Each parish family is led by a pastor or pastoral coordinator, assisted by two parochial vicar(s) in our case. 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.
- Visit the Archdiocese’s Partners in the Gospel page
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 four churches and mission will come together to eventually become one canonical parish. (This does not necessarily mean just one church building.)
- Our pastors consult with the Archdiocese on any changes to Mass times, councils, services, staffing, etc.
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.
- If you have questions or comments about this process, please visit the Partners in the Gospel website – https://archseattle.org/partners/ Check here and in the bulletin for updates, or contact office with questions or comments:(360)457-2351 or email office@clallamcatholic.org.
