Fr. Timothy Ilgen

I was ordained on June 7, 2003 at St. James Cathedral in Seattle. The priesthood has been a true blessing, and I am grateful to God for calling me to this vocation. I have been the Pastor of Family 45 since July 1, 2024. Family 45 consists of St. Joseph, Our Lady of Lourdes, and the Proto-Cathedral of St. James the Greater parishes. There are also two schools – one at St. Joseph and the other at Our Lady of Lourdes. While being the Pastor of such a large community as Family 45 may be challenging, I do not minister alone. My brother priests and deacons, the members of the staffs, and the many volunteers provide tremendous support. God provides for what we need through the generosity of so many people.
