was sold to the County in 1892 for use as the courthouse during the downtown reconstruction period. Queen of Angels Parish has been at its present location at 11th and Oak Street Streets since 1950. At the time “The Holy Angels Church” in Port Angeles was established, the Sequim area was considered part of that parish. A mission church was built in 1916; in 1966 a new mission church was erected; and in 1976, after 60 years as a mission church, St. Joseph was established as a full parish. In July 2011 the two parishes were appointed a single pastor to oversee each parish, and one year later a regional staffing model was implemented with one administrative staff for the two parishes. Today, the two parishes remain separate entities with their own identities, continuing to work as part of the universal Church by combining efforts on committees, consistency in policies, a single weekly bulletin, and joint celebration of Sacraments, etc.

ministries offered between the two parishes. Parishioners serve the Church in various forms of lay ministry at Mass and liturgies. We have volunteers who coordinate some aspect of sacramental preparation ; we rely on the service of volunteer teachers of religious education, leaders of bible study and other faith formation groups, coordinators of crisis pregnancy assistance, and many others. Between the two parishes we have well over 100 groups comprising very active parish communities.
