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. COVER ART. The face of Our Lady of Guadalupe is featured on the cover of today’s bulletin as we celebrate Mary in a special way during the month of May. A copy of the miraculous image of Our Lady of Guadalupe will hang in the south aisle of the West Nave throughout the month. FLORAL DONATIONS. Floral donations are a wonderful way to remember a deceased loved one or commemorate an important anniversary, and at the same time enrich the whole parish community! Right now, we have an opening the weekend of May 9-10, Mother’s Day Weekend. If you would like to offer flowers, contact Jane Mueller, 206-654-4650. I SAW ETERNITY THE OTHER NIGHT. Our series on the metaphysical poets continues with poems by Henry Vaughan (1621-1695) and Thomas Traherne (1636-1674) Vaughan’s work anticipates Wordsworth in its celebration of the innocence of childhood. Traherne’s extraordinary imagination, anticipating William Blake, was largely unknown until the rediscovery of his work in the early 20th century. Tuesday, May 5, 7:00pm in Room 1EW, Cathedral Place.
