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. PRAYER FOR CHRISTIAN UNITY. On Friday, January 16 at 6:30pm, Seattle clergy from many different denominations will come together in prayer with Father Ryan at our weekly ecumenical prayer with music from Taizé. All are welcome to join in this shared prayer in observance of Christian Unity Week. MASS FOR PEACE AND JUSTICE. On Saturday, January 17 at 11:00am, as the nation remembers Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., all are invited to join in a Mass for Peace and Justice in the Cathedral, with Archbishop Sartain and members of the African American Catholic community from across the Archdiocese. SANTO NINO CELEBRATION. On Sunday, January 18 at the Noon Mass, we will celebrate the Santo Niño—the Holy Child Jesus. All are invited to bring their own images of the child Jesus from home for the blessing. A wonderful fiesta follows in Cathedral Place Hall. VETERANS OF MILITARY SERVICE. The Cathedral parish would like to invite you and your loved ones to a Salute to Service gathering on Tuesday, January 20 at 7:00pm. Food and beverages will be provided. Information, John Simpson, 206-274-3173. ARE YOU INTERESTED IN BECOMING CATHOLIC? If you are an adult who has never been baptized, an adult who has been baptized in another Christian tradition, or a Catholic who has been baptized, but not received First Eucharist or Confirmation then you are invited to participate in the RCIA, a process of initiation into the Catholic Church. You can learn more by going to the RCIA website. Information, Kathleen McCabe, 206-382-2018. THE SACRAMENT OF CONFIRMATION. Preparation classes for youth aged 16 or older, as well as for adults will begin Wednesday evening, April 8, and continue each Wednesday into June. Information, Rosanne Michaels, 206-654-4658.
BAPTISM OF INFANTS & YOUNG CHILDREN (under the age of 7) is celebrated monthly at one of the weekend Masses. To prepare for this most important sacrament, parents and godparents participate in a series of classes to update their understanding of baptism, to reflect on their responsibility to guide their children in the practice of the faith, and to learn about the many ways our parish supports families. Please allow at least two months for preparation. Information, Suzanne Lee, 206-654-4640. TRANSITIONING TO TECH. Are you interested in a career in technology? Parishioner Tarah Wheeler Van Vlack is returning in January with her popular four-part workshop Transitioning to Tech. Topics covered will include exploring tech as a career, getting notice and building a resume, interview skills, and building professional relationships. The workshop will be held on four consecutive evenings, Monday January 26 through Thursday January 29, 7:00 pm in the Pastoral Outreach Center. Attendance is free but registration is required.

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. Mary in Anacortes and Marysville and St. Elizabeth Ann Seton in Bothell.
