New Liturgy Director for Seattle

Fresh off the wire from the Liturgy Office of the Archdiocese of Seattle: Appointment of Liturgy Director.

The Most Reverend J. Peter Sartain has appointed Andrew Casad as the new Liturgy Director for the Archdiocese of Seattle.

Andrew currently serves as the Director of Liturgy and Catechumenate at Saint Thomas More Catholic Church in Chapel Hill, North Carolina. He holds a Master of Theological Studies in liturgical studies from the University of Notre Dame in addition to a Master of Arts in cultural anthropology from the University of California San Diego.

Andrew is an online course facilitator for Notre Dame’s Satellite Theological Education Program, has published in Catechumenate and Pastoral Liturgy, and frequently gives workshops throughout the Diocese of Raleigh.

Andrew will officially begin in the role on August 1.

Please pray for Andrew, his wife and their two young children during this time of transition, and for the entire liturgical life of the Archdiocese.

May the Holy Spirit continue to strengthen and guide us all in building up the Kingdom for God’s greater glory!

O God, who sanctify your universal Church
in every people and nation,
pour out, we pray, the gifts of your Spirit
across the face of the earth,
so that your divine grace, which was at work
when the Gospel was first proclaimed,
may now spread through the hearts of those who believe in you.
