      CRS RICE BOWL

      A Season for Reflection

      During this holy time, we are called to pause and pay closer attention to our relationship with God and our neighbors. Reflect on how the Lenten pillars of prayer, fasting and almsgiving can guide your journey and how the Eucharist helps us to live in solidarity with our sisters and brothers around the world. Visit crsricebowl.org to learn more and read this week’s Story of Hope.

      Rachel's Corner

      "In three days we will begin the penitential season of Lent where Jesus invites us to find transformation healing through His boundless mercy."  Is God calling you to forgiveness and healing this Lenten season?

      PARTNERS IN THE GOSPEL


      Final Parish Families for Partners in the Gospel

      Last weekend marked a milestone in our journey with Partners in the Gospel. The Archdiocese of Seattle selected the final family grouping and this information was announced at our Mass on Feb 3rd. Our Parish Family consists of Holy Disciples, Our Lady of Good Counsel, SS Cosmas & Damian and Our Lady Queen of Heaven. These parish families will go into effect on July 1st under the leadership of a pastor and one or more parochial vicars. Pastors and parochial vicars will be announced this spring. A full list of the Final Parish Families is available on the Partners in the Gospel webpage. Go to Archseattle.org/partners for more information.

      Where Are We Now?



      In November, the Archdiocese of Seattle announced they received more than 700 input session reports resulting in more than 3,000 pages of input.  The synthesized reports were used by the Oversight Committee, the Presbyteral Council and the Partners in the Gospel team to inform the next draft of proposed parish families.  Of 61 proposed parish families, 25 were recommended for changes based on this recent consultation resulting in changes to 25 draft parish families.  Holy Disciples and Our Lady of Good Counsel were a part of this change, with the addition of Sts. Cosmas & Damian in Orting.  There was a second round of consultation with staff and parishioners with these 25 proposed parish families. 

      A final recommendation will be submitted to Archbishop Etienne at the end of the year and the final parish families are expected to be announced in early 2024.

       Partners in the Gospel letter from Archbishop Etienne

      Partners in Gospel is a strategic pastoral planning effort taking place across the Archdiocese of Seattle to re-invigorate and renew our local Catholic Church. 


      The Archdiocese of Seattle provided a June update called the Current Reality Report. CLICK HERE to be taken to the website. You may watch the video presentation or read the report. 

      In the Spring of 2022, Our Lady of Good Counsel and Holy Disciples conducted synod sessions with many of our parishioners. During these sessions, we gathered feedback on areas for improvement and growth of our parishes. Please check the websites for updates on our progress towards addressing these thoughtful suggestions.

      Synod participants clearly indicated that parish gatherings and events outside of mass were very important to community building and sustainment. Here are some recent events!


      Our Lady of Good Counsel Octoberfest & Auction raised $2,000!


      Celebration for Tom O'Brien-Wilson's retirement and Farewell to Father Matthew


      Our Lady of Good Counsel and Holy Disciples teens hosted a pie and coffee gathering for over 50 military veterans


      In December, our parishes hosted a Holiday Celebration at Holy Disciples with a potluck lunch and performances by our children and TAPROOT Theatre group

      What is the latest with the Synod?

      Pope Francis has extended the Synod on Synodality through 2024. Bishops will meet in Rome in both October of 2023 and October of 2024. Pope Francis’ decision reflects his desire that the church to discern the theme of synodality over a longer period. Also for the synod to be thought of as a process where (only by the grace of the Holy Spirit) the People of God walk together toward the Lord’s will for His Church. Certainly, the prayerful dialogue of the diocesan phase has created some energy, excitement, and shared vision of a Church that journeys together.
