A letter from Archbishop Etienne

Dear Parishioners of St. John Mission and St. Mary Magdalen Parish, I am happy to greet you in the name of the Risen Lord Jesus!

As archbishop, I have the important responsibility and honor of providing you with ongoing pastoral care and sacramental ministry in your parish community.

Today, I write to inform you that your parish will continue with its current leadership after July 1, 2024. I am pleased to announce that, after consultation with the Priest Personnel Board, I have reappointed Father Hans Olson as your pastor and Father Ronald Gajettan, HGN, as your parochial vicar.

These men are wonderful priests who will diligently and faithfully serve you and your parish family.

Be assured that they will receive all the necessary support and assistance from the Archdiocese of Seattle to ensure quality pastoral care for your parish family.

As always, I remain,
In the Heart of Christ,
Most Reverend Paul D. Etienne,
Archbishop of Seattle.
