The Archdiocese of Seattle is featured in a new video series called “The Chair” from DeSales Media, celebrating cathedrals, bishops and dioceses throughout the United States. In the Seattle episode, you’ll see an intimate portrait of our archdiocese and the bishops who served throughout its history, including the journey of Archbishop Etienne from his youth to today.
The Seattle episode is 24 minutes long. It's free to watch but does require creating an account to access the Seattle episode and others. Go directly to the Seattle video here from there you can go to Cathedrals around the US.
DEVOTION OF THE MONTH - FEBRUARY
Month of the Holy Family
The month of February is dedicated to the Holy Family. The special devotion which proposes the Holy Family of Jesus, Mary, and Joseph as the model of virtue of all Christian households began in the 17th century. It started almost simultaneously in Canada and France: the Association of the Holy Family was founded in Montreal in 1663, and by the Daughters of the Holy Family in Paris in 1674. This devotion soon spread and in 1893 Leo XIII expressed his approval of a feast under this title and himself composed part of the Office. On account of the flight into Egypt this feast has been observed by the Copts from early times. The feast was welcomed by succeeding Pontiffs as an efficacious means for bringing home to the Christian people the example of the Holy Family at Nazareth, and by the restoration of the true spirit of family life, stemming, in some measure, the evils of present-day society.
In the words of His Holiness Pope Leo XIII, "Nothing truly can be more salutary or efficacious for Christian families to meditate upon than the example of this Holy Family, which embraces the perfection and completeness of all domestic virtues."

Indulge in The Divine Mercy
The Divine Mercy Message and Devotion
The message of The Divine Mercy is simple. It is that God loves us – all of us. And, He wants us to recognize that His mercy is greater than our sins, so that we will call upon Him with trust, receive His mercy, and let it flow through us to others. Thus, all will come to share His joy.
The Divine Mercy message is one we can call to mind simply by remembering ABC:
A - Ask for His Mercy. God wants us to approach Him in prayer constantly, repenting of our sins and asking Him to pour His mercy out upon us and upon the whole world.
B - Be merciful. God wants us to receive His mercy and let it flow through us to others. He wants us to extend love and forgiveness to others just as He does to us.
C - Completely trust in Jesus. God wants us to know that all the graces of His mercy can only be received by our trust. The more we open the door of our hearts and lives to Him with trust, the more we can receive. Learn more here...

PARISH STEWARDSHIP
RENEWAL
What does it mean when we talk about“The Spirituality of Stewardship?” Find out here as Archbishop Etienne explains in his video.
Your Stewardship pledge is just one way we express our discipleship as followers of Jesus Christ. As disciples of Jesus Christ, our response to God’s abundant generosity is one of immense gratitude. Your Stewardship of Treasure renewal for the coming year supports St. Aloysius and continues the mission that defines who we are and what we do. Please return your 2023 pledge card today in the collection basket, to the parish office, through the mail or go online here to complete your pledge.
The U.S. government's bigotry toward pro-life Americans is at an all-time high.
The sudden persecution and targeting of 40 Days for Life are an attack on free speech for all Americans--including abortion supporters. We will continue to fight (and defeat) absurd laws that prevent having a pro-life opinion in public near an abortion facility.
On Tuesday's Roe Is Dead video webcast, we'll break down why 2023 will be the year of free speech.
Tune in for essential updates on:
- The DOJ's assault on the First Amendment;
- 40 Days for Life volunteer Mark Houck, whose home was raided by the FBI just days before the start of last fall's campaign;
- Our unprecedented lawsuit against an unconstitutional free-speech crackdown in New York--and why it has the potential to strike down buffer and bubble zones nationwide.

St. Joseph: Our Spiritual Father
While the Gospel has not preserved any of his words, his actions have resounded through the ages. Joseph of Nazareth stands out as the model par excellence of Christian virtue, a brilliant example of obedience to God and trust in Divine Providence. His role as protector of families in the difficulties of life and Patron of the universal Church has never been more clearly needed. Now, the Church is seeking to deepen its understanding of the Guardian of Jesus and of the Holy Family. Featuring interviews with leading experts and theologians, in addition to powerful first-hand testimonials — St. Joseph: Our Spiritual Father provides viewers with a glimpse into one of the most incredible lives in all of human history — a figure whose spiritual fatherhood remains open to all of us.

Consecration to Saint Joseph
The Augustine Institute Show - 03/15/22 - Fr. Donald Calloway
How do Catholics make a consecration to Saint Joseph? Ben Akers fills in for Tim Gray on this week's episode of the Augustine Institute Show to celebrate Saint Joseph! Father Donald Calloway, author of Consecration to Saint Joseph, will discuss ways we can grow in our relationship with this powerful saint. Watch here...
Forgiven: The Transforming Power
of Confession
Forgiven: The Transforming Power of Confession, explores the grace and healing offered in Confession and shows how this sacrament of mercy reveals the depth and bounty of God's love. By looking at God's revelation of his mercy in Scripture and making a step-by-step examination of the Rite itself, Forgiven communicates God's invitation to each one of us to come experience his indescribable love in the Sacrament of Reconciliation. The season of Advent is a perfect time for spiritual renewal through encountering God’s mercy in the Sacrament of Reconciliation.
Presence: The Mystery of the Eucharist
Although the Eucharist appears to be simple bread and wine, it is actually the "source and summit" of the Christian life. Presence: The Mystery of the Eucharist explores the truth and beauty of Christ's real presence in the Eucharist, from its origins in Sacred Scripture, to its profound role in the life of the Church and her members. Go here to see the crescendo of the entire story of salvation.
THE SEARCH
The Search // Episode 5 // Who is Jesus? The most beautiful part of this story is this we can know God's love, personally. This is the person of Jesus. But how did this seemingly insignificant carpenter born into poverty in a dusty corner of the Roman Empire become the most pivotal figure in all of history? Christianity isn’t simply a philosophy for life – the center of Christianity is a person. We look at the life of Jesus and what he came to do. Ultimately, we need to decide if Jesus really was who he said he was. We can’t sit on the fence. Because if Jesus really was who he said he was, we need to make him the Lord of our lives, and everything changes.
The Search // Episode 6 // Am I Saved? What Jesus did for us through his life, death and resurrection was the greatest act of love in history. He saved us. He did this for each one of us. Personally. But some might feel unworthy of this gift of love. We may feel we have too much baggage. We may feel unlovable. But God didn’t come to reveal himself to us on a pedestal, he came to enter into our messy human condition. To fix us from within. To transform us from the inside out. Some might be surprised by how generous the love of God really is. We don’t deserve God’s love, but that’s the amazing reality of God’s mercy. This relationship with God isn’t all about our love for Him. It’s about His love for us that changes our lives forever.

Pray the Rosary with the Archdiocese of Seattle from Archdiocese of Seattle
Prayer for Spiritual Communion
My Jesus, I believe that you are present in the most holy Eucharist. I love you above all things, and I desire to receive you into my soul. Since I cannot at this moment receive you sacramentally, come at least spiritually into my heart. I embrace you as if you were already there and unite myself wholly to you. Never permit me to be separated from you. Amen.
Q&A
Q. What do I do if I cannot go to confession or receive Holy Communion because of the Coronavirus?
A. In the circumstances of public Mass being suspended and Lenten penance services being canceled, there are devotions that enable you to receive forgiveness of your sins (under certain conditions) and the consolation of the grace of the Eucharist. These devotions have been encouraged by the church in times of great distress and have been practiced by the saints.
