Jubilee Year 2025 was established by Pope Francis, calling the faithful to become Pilgrims of Hope. For pilgrims travelling to Rome for the Jubilee, there will be many events, including the opening of the holy doors at various sites.
To participate in the Jubilee locally, the archdiocese has established five specially designated pilgrimage sites where the faithful can visit on their own schedule, either one or all of them. Learn how to participate locally at archseattle.org/Jubilee2025.
SOUTH SEATTLE PARISH FAMILY

A Welcoming faith of diverse peoples.
Letter from the Pastoral Coordinator
June 8, 2025
Dear Families,
This Sunday, we celebrate the Confirmation of over 80 youth and adults from our four South Seattle parishes. The Sacraments of Confirmation, Baptism, and Eucharist form the Sacraments of Initiation into the Church. “In the Sacrament of Confirmation, the baptized person is “sealed with the gift of the Holy Spirit” and is strengthened for service to the Body of Christ,”

05 Gift Card Scams
June 8, 2025
From time to time parishioners and staff report getting email requests falsely impersonating a priest who is urgently requesting gift cards or some other favor. This is scam and not a legitimate request (you can often tell by looking at the sender’s email address, which does not correspond to one of our accounts). If you receive a request like this, do not click any links. Either ignore and delete the request or send a separate email to our staff member directly to validate the request. We only collect money through our regular Archdiocesan and parish campaigns (i.e. Rice Bowl, Annual Catholic Appeal, Catholic Community Services, etc.) and will never request gift cards or money for a special favor.
06 Father’s Day Cards
June 8, 2025
Cards are available at the back of the church to remember/celebrate your father at Mass on Father’s Day. Please return the outer envelope to the parish office (or collection basket) by June 13.
