ECCE

Equitable Covenants for Catholic Educators

WE are the Church.

We state our disagreement with including private lifestyle choices as a consideration in renewing the ministerial covenants of teachers.

At its core, the word "Catholic" means "all-embracing." We hope you add your name to the growing list of Seattle Archdiocese community members who call for inclusivity in our schools.

Sign our petition to advocate for change!

Who is ECCE?

Equitable Covenants for Catholic Educators

ecce | `ek·ke Latin interjection

  1. behold—used to call attention often to one persecuted unjustly

ECCE is a group of educators and Catholic community members in the Seattle Archdiocese.

We disagree with including private lifestyle choices as a consideration in renewing the ministerial covenants of teachers and staff.

Ecce! We insist that covenant renewal decisions within the Seattle Archdiocese be made based on credentials and teaching experience, not on private lifestyle choices.
