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. DIVINE MERCY CELEBRATION. Sunday, April 27 is Divine Mercy Sunday. This year, we have special reason to celebrate God’s mercy as we mark the canonization of two Popes of recent times: John XXIII and John Paul II. Following the 12 Noon Mass, Cathedral young people will lead the Divine Mercy chaplet, a favorite devotion of John Paul II. Mass will be followed by a special reception in Cathedral Place Hall, with foods from around the world, and egg decorating and games for kids. All are welcome. FIRST FRIDAY EXPOSITION AND HOLY HOUR. This coming Friday, May 2, Exposition will begin at 12 Noon with the Holy Hour, because of a special Mass with O’Dea High School in the morning. We apologize for any inconvenience. CATHEDRAL KITCHEN GARDEN. Spring is here, and we’re underway with planting in our new Cathedral Kitchen Garden. We are still looking for volunteers to help with planting, weeding, watering, and other tasks. No gardening experience necessary. It’s a lot of fun, and a great way to meet people. To volunteer, contact garden@mylifeinseattle.com. SCREENING FOR MEMORY LOSS. This program is designed to provide information about memory, how it changes as we age, and how to recognize changes that may signal a problem. The more you know about memory and how it works, the better equipped you’ll be to recognize a problem if it arises. Tuesday, May 13, 2014 at 7:00, Cathedral Place. Information, John Simpson, 206-274-3173. THE NEXT SENIOR TRIP will be Wednesday, May 14. We will visit Wolf Haven International. They rescue and provide sanctuary for displaced and captive-born wolves. Learn about wolves and the work to promote wolf restoration as well as efforts to protect our remaining wild wolves and their habitat. Please join us! Space is limited and priority will be given to registered parishioners. Information, or to reserve your place, John Simpson, Pastoral Care Minister, 206-274-3173.

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 St. Mark in Shoreline and Our Lady of Good Counsel Mission in Eatonville.
