Service Activities
YASFU! Young Adults: Special Forces Unit is a special, scrappy corps of Young Adults ready and dedicated to take on emergency tasks. Many times these service projects come up unexpectedly, with short notice, and can require some manual labor or ministry of presence. (For example, help someone move, perform some heavy-duty housework, or run errands for an elderly person in need.) We’re looking for a few good women and men! Sign up to be a YASFU! recruit, and we’ll call upon you to help out if you can. There’s no pressure the more people we have on hand, the better service we’re able to provide at the ready. If you’re hungry to help parish friends facing tough situations, then join us.
Warm Hearts and Soles
Imagine having only one pair of socks (or less) during a cold wet Seattle
winter! That’s the reality for many of our friends who live on the street. Help
us collect 2006 pairs of men’s socks for our third annual sock drive to benefit
the homeless.
Sunday Coffee Hours
Dec. 4, 11, 18, January 8
Greening of the Cathedral
Join the Young Adults as we festoon our beloved Cathedral with red ribbons
and evergreens. If there’s a more fun, festive way to get into the holiday
spirit, we want to know about it! Perhaps you’ll help arrange the chapel’s
nativity tableau. Or for the truly daring, help hang a mobile and experience the
soaring view from the oculus. Top it all off with pizza and Sister Anne's famous
hot apple cider. This is holiday magic you don’t want to miss.
December 21, 6:00 p.m.
Chancery Place Valentines Party
Saturday, February 11
12:00 p.m. – 4:00 p.m.
Young Adults, tap into your inner cupid. Help throw a Valentines Party for our
Senior Pals at Chancery Place apartments. Goodies, laughter and smiles will be
plentiful. Plus, when you share fun with our older friends, you put the saint
back in Valentine’s Day!
Chancery Place Apartments
(910 Marion Street, just north of the Cathedral.)
Chancery Place Spring Cleaning
Get out the mops, brooms and vacuums: join the Young Adults as they don
yellow gloves, and get busy spring-cleaning! Clean an oven, dust some blinds,
move furniture, and make friends for a lifetime. Trust us, this is way more fun
and rewarding -- than cleaning your own place. Join us for chore ministry at our
Senior Friends’ apartments at Chancery Apartments. Plus, put your feet up and
enjoy the recap at the pizza social after-party.

a talk/presentation/discussion, and an informal no-host social gathering at a
nearby pub or restaurant afterward.

faith every day, in the modern world.
First Friday: March 3

holiest of days.
