Some of you may have heard recent media about a new lawsuit that just arose involving our founding pastor Fr. Lavelle, who served here at St. Louise parish in the 1960s. This topic is a very difficult and challenging one for everyone involved. Please know we take all allegations very seriously, and we have a process to seek justice for all involved. Also, it’s important to share that the Archdiocese of Seattle has taken a proactive approach to addressing abuse since the 1980s. The history of our approach, our victim support services, our public list, our Review Board and a comprehensive Q&A are all on the dedicated Protect & Heal website if you’d like to learn more. We continually invite anyone who believes they may have been harmed by anyone working on behalf of the Church to come forward by reaching out to the helpline at 800-446-7762. I ask that we continue to pray for everyone impacted by the sin of abuse. Please let me know if you have any questions.
Fr. Gary Zender
