Please click here to read Bishop Tyson's pastoral letter, based on his homily from Sunday, Feb. 2 (the Presentation of the Lord)
Another issue of concern to Washington State Catholics is a bill currently under consideration in the state legislature which could remove clergy/penitent privilege.
HB 1211 and SB 5375 (Concerning the duty of clergy to report child abuse and neglect).
The Senate passed SB 5375 out of committee on Feb. 5. It is now in the Senate Rules Committee awaiting assignment to the full floor for debate. Also on Feb. 5, Sen. Phil Fortunato released SB 5665 (Reporting child sex abuse) which makes clergy mandatory reporters but also provides the needed exception for the confessional. Please contact your state senator and ask him or her to oppose SB 5375 and support SB 5665 which will protect children and religious liberty.
