North American Martyrs Catholic Church, Catholic church building in Edmonds, Washington, US
North American Martyrs Catholic Church occupies a former Lutheran building and is served by the Priestly Fraternity of St. Peter. The interior maintains classical Catholic features and functions as a place for traditional liturgical worship.
The parish gained its status in 2015 and relocated to a converted Lutheran building in Edmonds in 2019. It became the first congregation in the Seattle Archdiocese dedicated to traditional Latin Mass worship.
The parish draws worshippers who prefer older forms of liturgy and traditional Catholic practice in their daily lives. Visitors experience a style of worship that differs from what they find in most modern churches in the area.
Visitors can attend daily Masses, multiple Sunday services, and regular confession times throughout the week. Plan to arrive early on weekends when more people gather for worship.
The name honors eight Jesuit missionaries from the 17th century who shaped North America, connecting the modern community to a distant Catholic past. This historical connection gives the parish a global dimension rooted in missionary work.
