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. FLOWERS AT THE ALTAR are offered in loving memory of José Banez on the first anniversary of his death, from Matilde Banez and children. NEW IN THE CATHEDRAL BOOKSTORE. Hot off the press! Journey of Faith is a brand-new retelling of the history of the Church in Western Washington, from the days when native peoples called this place holy ground, right up to the present day. This short history (told in “comic book” or graphic novel format) includes key moments in the life of our Cathedral. You may even spot Father Ryan on a page or two! The book is great for all ages. Paperbound is $10, hardbound $15. Pick up a copy today. Also: we have plenty of Lenten reading in stock! THE CATHEDRAL ESPRESSO CART is open! Please come by after the 10:00 and Noon Masses. All proceeds for the month of March benefit our ministries to the homeless. NO TAIZE THIS FRIDAY. Due to the Rite of Election on Friday, March 7, there will be no Taizé Prayer this Friday. The service will resume on Friday, March 14 at 6:30pm. We apologize for the inconvenience. Thank you for understanding! VOLUNTEERS NEEDED FOR THE PANCAKE BREAKFAST. We are looking forward to celebrating St. Patrick’s Day with all of you! Please consider helping us as a volunteer at this year’s Pancake Breakfast.
