Father Ed White
Father Ed White was born in Deer Lodge, Montana and grew up in the midwest. He came to Seattle to study forestry but soon discovered ministry as his primary interest. He became Catholic in 1980. He was ordained in 2005. In his discernment process, he went to Medjugorje in 2003, up on Apparition Hill, carrying his Bible. There he asked the Virgin Mary to give him some sign, a Scripture. He felt God’s grace there and he began to weep.
He opened his Bible to 1 John 4, “Perfect love casts out all fear,” and the question came to his mind, “If you had no fear, what would you do?” He answered, “I would become a priest.”
God’s power cut to the truth and gave him great peace – another sign that it’s God’s word. “God’s grace is so extraordinary. When you accept his grace, he gives more grace. Look at your fears squarely. God does not force us to do anything. He respects our freedom. He respects you. He always gives us the grace to do his will.” (from YouTube-WWCCR 2013 Women’s Retreat.)
Father is Parochial Vicar at Queen of Angels, Port Angeles, St. Anne, Forks, St. Joseph Sequim, St. Mary Star of the Sea, Port Townsend, St. Thomas the Apostle, Clallam Bay.

He is part of the new evangelization in reaching souls who seek to find a deeper intimate relationship with Jesus Christ. Come and be filled with the Holy Spirit!
