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. For more information about the parish, to register, or to ask a question, visit our “Welcome Table” at Coffee Hour. A Cathedral staff person will be on hand to assist you. COVER ART.

CHILDREN’S PROCESSION HONORING THE SAINTS next Sunday, November 1, during the Noon Mass. All children and youth are invited to carry an image of a favorite Saint in the opening procession of the Mass. Meet in the West Vestibule at 11:50am. Parents, please accompany very young children. SOLEMN REQUIEM MASS OF ALL SOULS. On Monday, November 2 at 7:30pm, Father Ryan will preside at the solemn Mass of All Souls. Dr. Paul Thornock will conduct Duruflé’s beautiful setting of the Requiem Mass with the Cathedral Choir, Cathedral Chamber Orchestra, and organist Joseph Adam. This is a rare opportunity to hear Duruflé’s Requiem in its intended context of the Mass, and the perfect time to gather as a parish community and pray for all our beloved dead. ART IN THE CHAPEL. Stop by the Cathedral Chapel to explore the work of architectural photographer Stephen Rosen. Over the past three years, Rosen has explored St. James Cathedral and captured the beauty of the building in a variety of lights and perspectives. His photographs of our Cathedral will have you appreciating its beauty in new ways. The exhibit ends this weekend. CONFIRMATION PREPARATION FOR YOUTH IS A TWO-YEAR PROCESS. Registration is open NOW! The first year is a ‘journey year’ to intentionally ponder, explore, and live out your Catholic faith in preparation for the Sacrament. Classes occur Sunday mornings from 11:00-11:45am. The second year involves a more concentrated 10-week series to actively prepare for the Rite of Confirmation. The date of Confirmation is May 5, 2016. To enroll, please contact Joe Cotton, 206-264-2082. THANK YOU to everyone who registered for our blood drive on October 11. We are grateful to all who have supported our blood drives in the past as well as to the 11 people who donated for the first time. HYGIENE ITEMS FOR WINTER SHELTER. The overflow Winter Shelter is very low on cough drops, toothbrushes, and disposable razors. You can drop off donations at Coffee Hour after the morning Masses on Sundays or at front desk, Monday-Friday, 9am-3pm. Thank you in advance! Information, Tom Frasene, 206-382-4235. REPORT FROM ST VINCENT DE PAUL. Your donations to SVdP allowed our Cathedral Vincentians to make 146 home visits during July, August and September and help 205 low (or no) income residents of the Cathedral Parish who struggle to pay for life's necessities, such as rent, electricity, beds, food, clothes and basic hygiene products. That's an average of about 49 home visits and 68 people helped per month. Even more parish residents seek our assistance, but we will need more dollars and more volunteers to make that possible. Please help, if you can! Information, Christine Henderson, 253-973-1441.
CATHEDRAL KITCHEN GARDEN HELP NEEDED! After a second year of abundant harvest, it’s now time to shut down the garden for the winter. A work party and potluck is scheduled for Saturday, November 14, starting at 9:00 a.m. to clean and winterize the garden. We need many volunteers to help with this important task, so that our garden can properly recover through the winter and be ready again for next spring. After completion of our morning work, we will gather at 12:30 for a Harvest Potluck to celebrate the garden’s success. You’re welcome to come to either or both of these events. Information, Gary Scheider.
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 North American Martyrs in Seattle, and Our Lady of the Olympics Mission in Quinault.
