Historical Note:  New Beginnings

On 1 September 1990, the Benedictines withdrew from staffing Sacred Heart Parish after some sixty-seven years of service. Considering the need for personnel at St. Martin's, Abbot Conrad Rausch made the decision to recall community members to assist in operating St. Martin's Abbey and College.

Father Richard Parle joined our parish family as the first pastor assigned by the Archdiocese of Seattle. He came to us from St. Philomena in Des Moines. The experience of serving 15 years in Korea as a Columban missionary has been extremely valuable in preparing our multi-cultural parish for the ministry challenges in the 21st Century.

Note:  Looking to the Future

Over seventy-five years ago, a small group of dedicated pioneers began our first Sacred Heart community. Their determination, perseverance and hard work is the foundation for our present community. In looking to the future, we realize that now, as in the past, our parishioners are our greatest resource. May God bless and guide us as we enter the next phase of our history!
