Parish Family Reorganization and Job Openings
In July 2024 the parishes of Mary, Queen of Peace in Sammamish, St. Joseph in Issaquah and Our Lady of Sorrows in Snoqualmie were joined together as a Parish Family, as one larger Catholic community, as we discern how the Lord Jesus is calling us to share more fully in his life and help others do the same. Each community has its strengths, and our shared resources better enable us to carry out the mission of Christ. At that time, these parishes started sharing a single pastor, and have already begun to share some ministries, as well.
As we begin the new year, we are shifting away from a key staff leadership position at each parish and are looking for two staff who will serve and provide leadership to all three individual parish communities. For more information on this transition, please read the Letter to Parishioners from Fr. Oakland.
Please pray as we ask the master of the harvest to send laborers for his vineyard. Also, consider whether you or someone you know might be called to one of these roles within our community.
Director of Operations
The Director of Operations will assist the pastor and Parish Family in carrying out the mission of the Church in forming disciples of Jesus Christ. This key leadership role will have primary oversight of the fiscal and human resources, administration and managing and coordinating elements of parish life throughout the three parishes, including St. Joseph School. This individual will also play a key role in the years ahead of integrating as one community in service of the Gospel.
For a fuller description, please see the Director of Operations Job Description.
