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. Detail of Virgin and Child with Six Saints by Neri Di Bicci (ca. 1456). This treasured Renaissance altarpiece hangs in the Cathedral Chapel. FLOWERS AT THE ALTAR this Mother's Day are offered in memory of Nilda Corvo from the family of her daughter, Laura Conte. I SAW ETERNITY THE OTHER NIGHT. Our series on the metaphysical poets concludes with poems by the great Anglican Divine John Donne. Tuesday, May 12, 7:00pm in Room 1EW, Cathedral Place.

HILDEGARD OF BINGEN: Medieval Women’s Choir, under the direction of Nancy Zylstra, presents St. Hildegard of Bingen’s Ordo Virtutum. Hildegard’s most substantial composition, this work is a semi-staged morality play about the Soul and its journey towards acceptance in the community of Virtues.

THE NEXT SENIOR TRIP will be Wednesday May 13. First we will visit the Botanical Gardens in Bellevue: a lovely display of cultivated gardens and serene woodlands. Our second stop will be lunch at The Forecaster’s Pub at the Redhook Brewery. Lunch will be followed by a tour of the brewery including a taste of their ales. Information, or to reserve your place, John Simpson, Pastoral Care Minister, at 206-274-3173. CATHEDRAL KITCHEN GARDEN. The 2015 garden has been planted and is growing! Now the garden needs tending, and that’s where you come in. We need volunteers to help with weeding, watering, thinning and other garden tasks. All the produce we grow goes to our Cathedral Kitchen, feeing our neighbors in need five days a week. Flexible time commitment. Can you help? Information, Patty Bowman, 206-382-4515. SOCIETY OF ST VINCENT DE PAUL. Young adults started SVdP because they wanted to go to the poor in their humble homes, listening to their needs. SVdP at St James Cathedral needs adult volunteers of all ages, but we especially need more young adults to join our ministry to the poor. Most volunteers attend two Tuesday evening Vincentian gatherings (90 minutes each) per month and make home visits to our neighbors in need 2-3 times per month (afternoons or evenings, about 2-3 hours each time). Please consider this wonderful opportunity to make a real difference in the lives of people who are calling out for our help. Information, Barb Schmidt, 206-938-8696.
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. Philip in Woodland and St. Brendan in Bothell.
