About Us

Northwest Catholic magazine and the Northwest Catholic website, NWCatholic.org, are the official news publications for the Archdiocese of Seattle. The mission of both is to proclaim the good news of Jesus Christ to Catholics in Western Washington to teach, inspire, and form disciples who know the Lord and live their faith to the full. 

Launched in September 2013, Northwest Catholic evolved out of The Catholic Northwest Progress, a more than 100-year-old newspaper, which published its last issue on June 27, 2013.

The magazine is published six times a year. It is mailed free to every registered household in the Archdiocese of Seattle. Your donation supports evangelization in Western Washington and assures that the magazine can continue to be mailed free of charge.
