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 in celebration and thanksgiving on the occasion of the 40th wedding anniversary of Jerome and Celia Chandler. GUEST CHOIR SATURDAY FEBRUARY 14, 5:30PM MASS. We welcome I Cantorei from Walla Walla University, Dr. Kraig Scott, director. ASH WEDNESDAY is Wednesday, February 18. Please note the special Mass schedule for that day: 8:15am, 10:00am (with O’Dea High School), 12:10pm, and 6:00pm. The evening Mass will be followed by a Simple Supper in Cathedral Hall. PRAYERS TO OUR LADY OF LOURDES. The men and women of the Order of Malta will be going on pilgrimage to the healing shrine of Lourdes in southern France later this year. They will take with them intentions from local parishes, which will be remembered in prayer at the Grotto of Our Lady of Lourdes. Stop by the Shrine of the Blessed Virgin Mary today or any time during the next week, write your petition on the form provided, and drop it in the box of intentions. SANDWICH MINISTRY SEEKS DRIVER. Want to feed the hungry? Are you able to pick-up sandwiches St. James at 3pm and drive them to St. Martin de Porres Shelter in Sodo on the second Monday of the month? If so, this ministry is for you! Information, Tom Frasene, 206-382-4235. SOCIETY OF ST VINCENT DE PAUL. Thank you! Your donations allowed our Cathedral Vincentians to make 692 home visits in the 12 months ending September 30, 2014 – averaging nearly 58 visits each month, during which we gave material aid and spiritual comfort to our neighbors in need. But the need for help continues to grow: We made 193 home visits in the 3 months of October, November and December 2014 – averaging more than 64 visits each month. We expect even more people living in our parish to ask for help in 2015. With your continued generosity, we hope to be there for them. Information, Barb Schmidt, 206-938-8696.
CATHEDRAL KITCHEN GARDEN. It’s time to begin the 2015 growing season in our Cathedral Kitchen Garden. We will kick off the year with a potluck dinner of locally sourced foods on Friday, February 27, 6:00 pm in the Pastoral Outreach Center. This potluck will be an opportunity for us to renew relationships built in the garden during the last growing season and create new relationships with anyone who wants to volunteer in the upcoming season. We will also lay out a plan for the upcoming work parties, the planting, harvesting, weeding and watering needs, and the evolving vision for the garden as we work to bring healthy, locally produced food to the guests of the Cathedral Kitchen. Our first work party of the season will be March 14. “Lettuce” rejoice and be glad as we gather for fellowship and labor! Information, Patty Bowman, 206-382-4515. HUMAN TRAFFICKING: MODERN DAY SLAVERY. Did you know slavery still exists? That there are more slaves now than at any other time in human history? That it’s even happening here, in Seattle? Join us to learn more about this scourge of modern-day slavery, also called human trafficking. What is it, and why does it still exist? How are we called to respond? Our presenter will be Annapatrice Clark from the Intercommunity Peace and Justice Center. Monday, March 2, 7:00 pm, Pastoral Outreach Center. Information, Patty Bowman, 206-382-4515.
SHARE YOUR LOVE OF GOD AND THE CHURCH WITH THE CHILDREN OF ST JAMES. Join the Children’s Faith Formation team. We have immediate need for two preschool catechists and one fifth grade catechist.

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. 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 Aberdeen, Seattle, and Seaview.
