On September 28, 2008 Archbishop Alex J. Brunett announced his invitation to the Priestly Fraternity of St. Peter to form a personal quasi parish in the archdiocese of Seattle. The new parish will be named "the North American Martyrs." Fr. Gerard Saguto FSSP has been named priest administrator.
Fr. Saguto FSSP arrives in Seattle the week of October 1st and will begin offering Mass at St. Joseph Chapel (located in the Josephinum) until a more permanent location is found. His first Mass in Seattle will be on Sunday, October 5th and it will be a sung Mass. Sunday Masses will continue to be at 9:30 AM - confessions begin 45 minutes prior. Daily Mass will be at 7:00 AM - confessions 20 minutes prior, except for Tuesdays. On Tuesdays, during the next month and a half (through November 11th), Fr. Saguto will offer Mass at Holy Family Parish, 9622 - 20th Ave SW, Seattle, WA 98106 at 7:30 PM.
Father Saguto is a great, holy priest. He married my wife and I. He will be greatly missed at Ss. Philomena and Cecilia Church in Oak Forest, IN. We wish him the best of luck is Seattle.
