SPECIAL TASKFORCE FOR CATHOLIC SCHOOLS SURVEY
In mid-August, Archbishop Paul D. Etienne appointed ten members to the Special Taskforce for Catholic Schools led by Father Ronald Nuzzi from the University of Notre Dame. This taskforce was charged by the archbishop to study church teachings, examine best practices among Catholic educators nationally and internationally, and eventually develop a set of recommendations about professional standards for the employment of teachers, principals, and presidents in archdiocesan and parish schools. Catholic Schools sent this survey out to current faculty and staff, parents/guardians of current Catholic school students, and when possible, to all Catholic school alumni and alumnae. Parishioners are invited to participate in this archdiocesan survey that will collect information from Catholics in the Archdiocese of Seattle about their perceptions and assessment of Catholic schools and their understanding of the current Ministerial Covenant.

“FRATELLLI TUTTI, On Fraternity and Social Friendship”
A Lenten Journey Through Pope Francis’ Recent Encyclical
Tuesday evenings, February 9th - March 30th, 6:30-7:45 PM by Zoom! On the feast of St. Francis of Assisi, the Holy Father, Pope Francis, released the third encyclical letter of his papacy. The encyclical articulates a call for all human persons to recognize and live out our common fraternity. It starts with a consideration of what is holding humanity back from the development of universal fraternity and moves to an expression of hope that peace and unity will be achieved through dialogue among peoples of faith. Join us as we read and reflect upon Pope Francis’ words of wisdom and inspiration, especially during these uncertain times. Pre-registration required. Contact Helen Oesterle
