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. CATHEDRAL BOOKSTORE. A CD of the remarkable Tre Ore talks by Rev. Dr. Michael Kinnamon is available for a small fee. Also, statues of St. Francis for your garden, a new book by Father Jim Martin, SJ, and much more! 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. IMMIGRANT ASSISTANCE VOLUNTEER INFORMATION SESSION. Our ministry provides a range of services to adult immigrant and refugee clients, such as improving their English, passing the US Citizenship exam, becoming more active in the broader community, and finding resources to help address other needs. We do all of this with the generous help of volunteers. Learn more at our upcoming Volunteer Information Session on Monday, May 12, from 5:00pm-6:30pm in the Pastoral Outreach Center.
