Partners in the Gospel FAQ: What does this mean for Lay Leaders? ¿Qué significa esto para los líderes laicos?
Have you been hearing the term “Partners in the Gospel” but you’re not really sure what it is? Partners in the Gospel is a strategic pastoral planning effort taking place across the Archdiocese of Seattle to re-invigorate and renew our local Catholic Church. As the Church lives out Partners in the Gospel, the work of Lay Ecclesial Ministers will become even more important. Lay leaders are needed at all levels of parish life from leading ministries and liturgy planning to accounting and marketing expertise. Partners in the Gospel provides a great opportunity for lay people to become even more involved in parish life. To learn more about Partners in the Gospel, go to https://archseattle.org/partners

Se necesitan líderes laicos en todos los niveles de la vida parroquial, desde los ministerios principales y la planificación litúrgica a la contabilidad y experiencia en marketing. Compañeros en el Evangelio ofrece una gran oportunidad para que los laicos se involucren aún más en la vida parroquial
