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. FLOWERS AT THE ALTAR are offered by the Nguyen family in memory Mary Marcelline Vo, on the second anniversary of her death. NOON MASS PROCESSION OF FAMILIES. As the Church prepares to celebrate the Presentation of the Lord, when Mary and Joseph brought Jesus to the temple, families are invited to join the procession together. Please gather in the vestibule at the west (main) entrance of the Cathedral at 11:55am. BLESSING OF CANDLES. On Monday, February 2, we celebrate the Feast of the Presentation of the Lord, with the traditional blessing of candles for use in the Cathedral throughout the coming year at the 8:15am and 5:30pm Masses. You are welcome to bring your own candles from home for the blessing. BLESSING OF THROATS. Tuesday, February 3 is the Feast of Saint Blaise, bishop and martyr. According to legend, Saint Blaise saved a boy who was choking. He is the patron saint of all with throat ailments and diseases. The traditional blessing of throats will take place in the context of the Masses at 8:15am and 5:30pm and at 12:10pm Midday Prayer as well. All are welcome. SEEKING A CHEF. We are seeking a chef who could help coordinate and prepare our St. Patrick’s Day Pancake Breakfast, which benefits the Solanus Casey Center. Preparation would be on Saturday, March 14 and the breakfast would be served on Sunday, March 15. Many helping hands will be provided, but an experienced chef is needed to coordinate the efforts of our volunteers. Can you help? Information, Maria Laughlin, 206-382-4284. FIRST FRIDAY EXPOSITION AND HOLY HOUR. This Friday, February 6, Exposition of the Blessed Sacrament will begin immediately following the 8:15am Mass and continue until 1:00pm. Holy Hour, with psalms, hymns, and rosary, will begin at 12 Noon. All are welcome to join in all or part of this traditional prayer in the presence of Christ in the Blessed Sacrament.
MASS IN THE YEAR OF CONSECRATED LIFE. On Sunday, February 8, women and men religious from across the Archdiocese of Seattle will join us at the 12 Noon Mass for a celebration of the gift of consecrated life in the Church. This is a special opportunity to give thanks to God for the religious who have made a difference in our lives and our faith. There will also be an opportunity to explore a vocation to one of the many different religious communities in the Archdiocese. SOCIETY OF ST. VINCENT DE PAUL. Mark your calendar: After all morning masses on Sunday, March 22, SVdP will hold its annual "Stuff the Truck" event in the O'Dea parking lot, where our volunteers will receive your gently used clothes, household goods and other items for resale through local SVdP thrift stores. This is a great opportunity for some early spring cleaning! Proceeds from thrift store sales support SVdP activities throughout King County, all of which benefit our neighbors in need. Information, event chair Bob Clifford, 206-718-4158. THE ESPRESSO MINISTRY is up and running after the 10:00am Mass. This month, all espresso sales benefit the Youth Music Program.
