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. TELEPHONE SYSTEM HELP. The parish is evaluating an upgrade for its telephone system and would welcome assistance from a parishioner with expertise in this area. Information, Renan Jeffereis. 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. OPERATION RICE BOWL.
