Victoria Ries
Victoria Ries has served in the Archdiocese of Seattle for forty years. For twenty-five of those years, she was appointed by the Archbishop, due to the shortage of priests, to provide pastoral care and leadership for Catholic parishes. She has also served as adjunct faculty in the School of Theology and Ministry. Now “retired from a paycheck,” she continues to serve in her local parish, give talks and lead retreats, serve as a spiritual director, and direct in the Spiritual Exercises in Everyday Life (SEEL) Program.
