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. CATHEDRAL BOOKSTORE. Stop by the Cathedral Bookstore for a wide selection of great spiritual reading for Lent. We also have Cathedral souvenirs, rosaries, and religious medals in stock. All proceeds benefit St. James Cathedral! OPERATION RICE BOWL:FOOD SUPPLY IN NIGER. The next stop on our CRS Rice Bowl journey is the African nation, Niger, where we’re reminded that life’s joys and challenges are often seasonal. This week we pray for people who struggle to feed their families during the hungry season—when food is in short supply—and we commit to acting for the common good. Learn more at www.crsricebowl.org.

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. Joseph in Seattle, Tacoma, and Lynden, and the Mission Church of St. Joseph in Kalama.
