WELCOME! If you are a visitor to the Cathedral, we want you to know how welcome you are — whether you have come from another part of the country, from across the world, or simply from another parish here in the Archdiocese. Thanks, in part, to the generosity of visitors like you, we are able to celebrate the Church’s liturgy here in a fitting and beautiful way. We are also able to offer a wide range of services to needy people living in the central district of our city. THE ALTAR ARRANGEMENT is offered in loving memory of Joaquin Arreola and Bernando Bapena, from their family. ADVENT IN THE CATHEDRAL BOOKSTORE. Stop by the Cathedral Bookstore for a wide array of resources for Advent, including Cathedral Christmas Cards, Advent candles, rosaries, medals, and more! MEDIEVAL ART OF SUSAN BONDURANT. Susan Bondurant returns to the Cathedral Chapel this Advent with a new show of her recreated medieval book illuminations. “The medieval period,” Bondurant writes, “was a world much like our own: a world of both progress and savagery, ideology and science, and above all, rapid change. Through illuminations, medieval artists expressed their sense of expectation and hope for a better and more beautiful world.” Stop by the Cathedral Chapel to view these works from November 30 through December 20. THE CATHEDRAL KITCHEN WOULD LIKE TO THANK Pagliacci Pizza for providing, preparing and serving a generous meat loaf dinner and baked desserts on Thursday, November 21. You helped the Cathedral Kitchen serve over 170 guests and we are very grateful for all that you do to serve our many guests. We also thank Horizon House for preparing and donating a freshly made green salad Thursday, November 14. Your salad was delicious and served many dinner guests that evening. ADVENT IN MEDIEVAL ENGLAND. Saturday, December 7, 8:00 pm Blue Heron, the Boston-based a cappella ensemble, has been hailed by the New Yorker as the American “heir apparent” to the Tallis Scholars. The ensemble of ten singers and early harp makes its Seattle debut with a program of carols, motets and plainchant from 15th-century England, featuring music by Leonel Power, John Dunstaple, English carols, and Sarum plainchant. www.earlymusicguild.org.

PARISH REMEMBRANCE: Throughout the year, because we are the Cathedral Church, we remember in prayer at Mass and Vespers each of the parishes and missions of the Archdiocese of Seattle on a Sunday near their feast day. This week we remember in prayer the parishes of St. Francis Xavier in Toledo, St. Nicholas in Gig Harbor, and St. Barbara in Black Diamond.
