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. FIRST FRIDAY EXPOSITION OF THE BLESSED SACRAMENT. On Friday, November 8, Exposition of the Blessed Sacrament will begin immediately following the 8:15am Mass and continue until 1:00pm. Holy Hour will begin at 12 Noon, with hymns, Scripture readings, and rosary. All are welcome. CATHEDRAL BOOKSTORE. Commonweal, one of the most thoughtful and thought-provoking Catholic periodicals in the United States, is celebrating 90 years of great journalism. Pick up a free copy of the anniversary issue in the Cathedral Bookstore after Mass today, and take a look at our offerings of Catholic books and gifts for all ages. A COMPASSIONATE CHURCH FOR THE POOR. On Friday, November 7, 2014, at 6:00pm in Pigott Auditorium, Seattle University, Cardinal Peter Turkson, President of the Pontifical Council for Justice and Peace, will explore how the vocation of business can contribute to a renewed Church sent by Christ on a mission to serve those at the margins of society. “Business leaders are called to engage the contemporary economic and financial world in light of the principles of human dignity and the common good” (Cardinal Turkson). All are welcome. POETS OF THE SPIRITUAL LIFE. On Wednesday, November 5, at 7:00pm in the Cathedral Rectory Parlors, you are invited to explore the religious poetry of Alfred, Lord Tennyson (1809-1892).

Packets are available free in the Cathedral Bookstore. O’DEA ALUMNI MEMORIAL MASS.

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 communities of St. Charles Borromeo in Tacoma and Burlington, and St. Leo in Tacoma.
