We expect the work groups to start providing tools and resources in early 2024.

Parish liaisons are professionals hired and trained by the Archdiocese of Seattle to support parishes as they journey in their new family to become one parish. They will use the tools, resources and other guidance, currently under development, to help the parish family navigate how to approach prayer and worship, evangelization, administration, governance and other issues in their new configuration — accounting for the gifts and needs of the community.

Parish liaisons are expected to be assigned to parish families by early 2024.

Parish specific information will appear in the weekly C2P Newsletter or in direct emails to  pastors and PAAs.

Additionally, everyone who signs up for the Partners of the Gospel Update newsletter will receive updates. We encourage all parish staff and ministry leaders to sign up and encourage your parishioners to do the same.  To sign up, click here.

The Tilling the Soil guide, available in February 2023, provides ways for parishes to prepare their parishioners to engage in the Partners of the Gospel renewal effort.

The guide provides ideas to parish and ministry leaders to gather, inspire, and prepare their communities to fully participate in Partners in the Gospel – now, during public comment in the Fall of 2023, and throughout the process of re-envisioning their parish communities.

The Parish FAQs on this page and the Q&A document in the parish toolkit will answer many questions.  If you don't see your question there, please click here to submit your question, and someone will follow up with you directly.
