The sermon addresses the urgency of the “Partners in the Gospel” initiative by the Archdiocese of Seattle, highlighting the staggering loss of Christians, with 1.1 million leaving the faith annually. The preacher emphasizes that while significant resources are available within the Church, they are often ineffectively utilized. The call to unity among parishes is made, challenging congregations to move past internal divisions and focus on evangelization. The goal is to collaborate over three years, ultimately becoming one canonical parish, effectively preaching the gospel together.
