Rev. Michael Wagner was appointed Priest Administrator of Holy Rosary and Visitation on July 1, 2017.

Later that month, the Pilgrim Statue of Our Lady of Fatima visited Tacoma. It was carried in procession from Saint Joseph church to Holy Rosary.

In Advent, for the first time in more than fifty years, a Rorate Mass was celebrated at Holy Rosary by Rev. Kyle Mangloña, with Father Wagner in choro.

On April 10 2018, Father Wagner collapsed during the celebration of the holy Mass.

He was admitted to hospital with an irreversible brain hemorrhage. The doctors have advised his family and the archdiocese that he is unlikely to survive.
