Together we invited, looked for and allowed God’s leadership to shine down on us in this time of transition. With God’s grace and the leadership of many people at Saint Patrick Catholic Church & School the parish moved through the transition process in an open and faith-filled way. Just saying thank you does not seem enough. From the bottom of our heart and with sincerity and great appreciation for the talent shared:
THANK YOU

In the 19 century immigrants from Ireland came to North America looking for a new start with new opportunities. They came in wave after wave to the East Coast and gradually made their way west. Along with these immigrants came wave upon wave of Catholic priests to meet their sacramental needs in their adopted land.
In more recent times a wave of Irish priests has come to the Northwest to serve the broader Catholic community of the Archdiocese of Seattle. Names like Lovett and Madigan have graced the sanctuaries of many local parishes through the years. Another name, Seamus Laverty has become well known to the people of North Tacoma at Saint Patrick Catholic Church & School.
