In July 2024 the parishes of Mary, Queen of Peace in Sammamish, St. Joseph in Issaquah and Our Lady of Sorrows in Snoqualmie were joined together as a Parish Family, as one larger Catholic community, as we discern how the Lord Jesus is calling us to share more fully in his life and help others do the same. Each community has its strengths, and our shared resources better enable us to carry out the mission of Christ. At that time, these parishes started sharing a single pastor, and have already begun to share some ministries, as well.
As we begin the new year, we are shifting away from a key staff leadership position at each parish and are looking for two staff who will serve and provide leadership to all three individual parish communities. For more information on this transition, please read the
Letter to Parishioners from Fr. Oakland.
Please pray as we ask the master of the harvest to send laborers for his vineyard. Also, consider whether you or someone you know might be called to one of these roles within our community.
