Parish-Wide Synodal Listening

All are invited to join for parish-wide Synodal Listening this Sunday.

Our Team has expressed concern that our project maybe reaching a stalling point and suggested we consider resetting our approach. To reach more parishioners and inspire fuller participation we are introducing a fresh set of questions. The team’s intent is to offer questions that may touch our hearts in a meaningfuland more personal way - to unveil a deeper response.

What disturbs or breaks your heart about the Catholic Church today?

What fills your heart about the Catholic Church?

How, guided by the Holy Spirit, could we nurture that experience at Saint Patrick Parish, in the Archdiocese of Seattle, and in the world? We hope this change will make it easier and/or inviting for all to participate. May we capture a richer tapestry and more meaningful testimony of our individual experiences living the SaintPatrick Church legacy. The final document will be a unique and special gift, created for, and by, each of us. May it become a collective treasure of our lives shared together, in a rare and very cherished Vatican II parish. Indeed, these testimonies will powerfully represent anauthentic response to the Pope’s call for the renewal of our Church, of our Archdiocese and the Global Catholic Church. A ‘renewal’ message, meant for bringing our church into today’s world sent ‘special delivery’, direct from a small Vatican II church, nestled in Seattle for over 100 years. Please set aside two hours in March for Synodal Response and Listening. Saint Patrick’s goal is 100% parishioner participation.
