The Archdiocese of Seattle was featured in a new video series called “The Chair” from DeSales Media, celebrating cathedrals, bishops and dioceses throughout the United States. In the Seattle episode, you’ll see an intimate portrait of our archdiocese and the bishops who served throughout its history, including the journey of Archbishop Etienne from his youth to today. The Seattle episode is 24 minutes long, a good length to do a showing at your parish. It's free to watch but does require creating an account to access the Seattle episode and others.
