• A letter from Father as we launch Partners in the Gospel

On January 22, 2023, the Archdiocese of Seattle publicly announced Partners in the Gospel, a pastoral process to guide us in discerning together how renew parish life in the Pacific Northwest.

This page has been set up to help provide access to resources, information, and updates as we make our way through this multi-year work of prayer, discussion, reflection, and action. May we take this opportunity not only to stay informed & engaged, but also to enter into prayer – individually and as a community – for ourselves, our parishes, and our archdiocese.

Parishioners of Saint Mark parish are invited to submit questions, which will be used to help Father Maurer and parish leadership know what areas of discussion might be most helpful to the community. Though parishioners are encouraged to share their names (which allows us to follow up if needed), anonymous questions are also permitted.
