Archbishop Sartain Assists at Commemoration of St. Thomas Aquinas Mass in Seattle

On Wednesday, March 7, 2012, Archbishop J. Peter Sartain of Seattle was hosted by the Priestly Fraternity of Saint Peter parish of the North American Martyrs for a pastoral visit to commemorate the feast of St. Thomas Aquinas.

Archbishop Sartain assisted from the throne for the Solemn High Mass offered by Fr. Gerard Saguto, FSSP, the administrator of North American Martyrs. Also assisting at the Mass were FSSP priests Fr. Simon Harkins, Fr. Gregory Pendergraft, Fr. Dan Geddes, and Fr. Matthew McNeely, along with Fr. Paul Pluth (archdiocese of Seattle) and Fr. Boniface Willard, O.P.

More than 600 souls were in attendance for the Mass, and the Fraternity extends its warm thanks for the Archbishop’s visit, and assistance in honoring the Angelic Doctor.
