On Saturday, October 11, we celebrate a special Mass in honor of the 175th anniversary of the founding of the Society of St. Vincent de Paul. Here, delegates from 76 of the nearly 100 conferences in the Archdiocese of Seattle gather in the Hall to prepare for the procession.
A beautiful image, Vincent and the Beggar, by Meltem Aktas, leads the procession.
The banner from St. Nicholas in Gig Harbor featured a nautical theme!
For this Mass, which celebrates the universal call to holiness and to service of the poor, Archbishop Brunett carried his new Jubilee Crosier, depicting Christ washing the feet of Peter. The crosier is the work of Ulrich Henn.
