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. GUEST CHOIR SATURDAY, 5:30PM MASS.

The 25-member ensemble will be performing the sublime 17th century Officium Defunctorum of Tomas Luis de Victoria as a meditative Lenten postlude following Mass. GUEST CHOIR SUNDAY 12 NOON MASS. We welcome the Provo High School Choirs, conducted by Kenny Wiser. THE CATHEDRAL ESPRESSO CART is open! Please come by after the 10:00 and Noon Masses.

Also, a new book by our own Archbishop Sartain: A Journey to the Heart of Jesus. And don’t miss Journey of Faith, 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. PALM SUNDAY AND EASTER SUNDAY COFFEE HOURS.

ST. JAMES KNITTERS GROUP meets Monday, April 14 from 6:30pm to 8:00pm in the Fireside Room, Pastoral Outreach Center. We get together the second Monday of the month to knit or crochet hats and scarfs for the homeless. Newcomers are always welcome. We’ve taught others to knit, and will help you, too.

Or just bring your knitting and join the fun. Information, Connie Carlson, 206-518-1623. THANK YOU FROM THE CATHEDRAL KITCHEN.
