We don’t have all the answers. Sometimes we don’t even know what the right questions are. What we do know is that families face many challenges and need a Church that is there to help them. Please share with us your questions and concerns. Whatever they might be. Together, we can figure out a way to respond and bring the good news of our Lord to every family.
Deacon Eric Paige directs the Office of Marriage and Family Life. Please feel free to contact Deacon Eric with questions at eric.paige@seattlearch.org or (206) 382-4864.
