Welcome Fr. Kurt Nagel and Fr. Joseph Akor
We are delighted to officially welcome Fr. Kurt Nagel and Fr. Joseph Akor to Sacred Heart Parish. Fr. Nagel joins us as Pastor, while Fr. Akor will serve as Parochial Vicar. In addition, Fr.

He was born and raised in the Northwest.

He was ordained in 2008 for the Catholic Diocese of Minna and has worked at various parishes in the diocese, including the pastor of St. Mary Catholic Church, Suleja, Nigeria.

Mask Update
Based on the updated guidance from the Centers for Disease Control (CDC), University of Washington Institute for Health Metrics and Evaluation, and the Washington State Department of Health, masks will no longer be required in the Archdiocese of Seattle. Sacred Heart will not enforce mask wearing at Mass and other parish events.
We understand that removing masks will be a new experience for everyone, and some of us may not feel comfortable. We encourage everyone to be gentle and respect those among us who continue to wear a mask. We will also continue to reserve a space for people who wish to remain distanced.
