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. Newcomers and visitors are invited to stop by the welcome table at Coffee Hours to find out more about St. James Cathedral and ask questions of a staff member. COVER ART.

FLOWERS AT THE ALTAR are from the Saturday wedding of Elizabeth Hottovy and Hans Krijger. If you would like to donate flowers this summer, contact Jane Mueller, 206-654-4650. CAMINO SEATTLE WALK TODAY. Camino Seattle began last Sunday! You can collect your stamps for the week at the Welcome Table at Coffee Hour, or at the Cathedral Bookstore after all Masses. All are welcome to join a 3-mile walk after the 10:00am Mass. Starting from the Cathedral's front steps, our walk will take us past some of the Catholic institutions that have made their mark on our city, including schools, parishes, hospitals, the Archbishop's residence, and one important parish that's not there anymore. We will take a few very short breaks for history tidbits along the way. Gather on the west steps (in front of the bronze doors) at 11:15am. ANNUAL CATHOLIC APPEAL. A huge thank you to the 845 Cathedral households have donated an extraordinary $512,888 to the Annual Catholic Appeal. We are now just $43,770 short of our combined parish and Archdiocesan goal of $556,658. If you have not yet made your donation, please consider doing so this week at www.seattlearchdiocese.org/aca. Information, Maria Laughlin, 206-382-4284. THE CATHEDRAL BOOKSTORE is open following each Mass. Visitors and regulars alike are invited to stop in to browse a wide selection of reading material for both children and adults, as well as Cathedral music CDs, Cathedral postcards, magnets, and mugs, medals and crosses, and much more. There is also a Camino Seattle corner where you collect your stamps each week.
THE NEXT SENIOR TRIP will be Wednesday July 15. Enjoy a ferry ride to Bainbridge Island, as well as the company of God’s people! We’ll stop for lunch and sightseeing in old Poulsbo.

ST VINCENT DE PAUL THANKS YOU. During a home visit, we presented a disabled woman with a grocery store gift card. Her face beamed with joy when we said she could buy not only food but also soap and toilet paper. She then spoke eloquently about the importance of “human dignity, even in poverty” and the “shame” she experienced when slipping into a local coffeehouse to take paper napkins because she could not afford toilet paper. Every dollar you give to SVdP makes a difference in someone’s life – thank you! Information, Barb Schmidt, 206-938-8696. PROCLAIMING THE WORD. Serving as a reader at weekend Masses is a great way to serve the parish community while deepening your love for the Scriptures and the liturgy. We are currently in need of more experienced readers at all Masses. All training is provided. Information, John Marquez, 206-654-4646.
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 parish of St. Mary Magdalene in Everett, the mission churches of St. Anne in Blaine and Tulalip, and the Carmelite Sisters of St. Joseph Carmelite Monastery, Shoreline.
