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. COVER ART. The Fifteenth Station of the Cross shows the Resurrection of the Lord. This work, by Joan Brand-Landkamer, Cathedral iconographer, was inspired by the work of Georges Rouault and created from driftwood pieces the artist collected on the beach in Ocean Shores. FLOWERS AT THE ALTAR are given in honor of Father David Brant on the 50th anniversary of his ordination to the priesthood from Jason, Bethie, Charlotte, and Peter Hungerford. Ad multos annos! CELEBRATING WITH FATHER DAVID BRANT. This Sunday, we will recognize Father David Brant in a special way at the Noon Mass as he marks the 50th anniversary of his ordination to the priesthood. A reception will follow in Cathedral Hall. RCIA REUNION. Calling all former RCIA participants! Are you someone who has come through the RCIA process at St. James? Please join us for a social time to check in and catch up. We will gather on Tuesday evening, May 19, 7:00pm. If you can attend, RSVP to Kathleen McCabe, 206-382-2018. TUESDAY EVENING NIGHTWATCH VOLUNTEER. St. James Cathedral has a long history of sending volunteers to Operation Nightwatch (14th Ave & Main St) to help feed people experiencing homelessness. There is currently a volunteer needed on the first Tuesday of the month, 8:30pm-10:30pm, to serve a meal to 100+ guests. If you are interested, please contact Tom Frasene, 206-382-4235. THANK YOU FROM THE ST VINCENT DE PAUL SOCIETY. We visited an elderly woman who was homeless until recently. Since getting a small apartment, she has been careful to pay her rent on time as keeping her home is the most important thing to her. Fighting back tears, she told us she paid all her bills in cash, which she kept in her purse–which she left on the bus one day, a purse that never made it to Metro’s “lost & found.” Without that cash, she could not pay rent and got an eviction notice. With money you donated to SVdP at the Cathedral, we helped pay her rent and keep a roof over her head–thank you! Information, Barb Schmidt, 206-938-8696.

CATHEDRAL KITCHEN GARDEN. The 2015 garden has been planted and is growing! Now the garden needs tending, and that’s where you come in. We need volunteers to help with weeding, watering, thinning and other garden tasks. All the produce we grow goes to our Cathedral Kitchen, feeing our neighbors in need five days a week. Flexible time commitment. Can you help? Information, Patty Bowman, 206-382-4515.
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 Christ Our Hope in Seattle, St. Rita in Tacoma, and Sacred Heart in Battleground and Enumclaw.
