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. For more information about the parish, to register, or to ask a question, visit our “Welcome Table” at Coffee Hour. A Cathedral staff person will be on hand to assist you. FLOWERS AT THE ALTAR are offered by Edgar Telmo, in memory of his mother, Irene Telmo. ST. JAMES KNITTERS GROUP meets November 9 from 6:30pm to 8:00pm in the Fireside Room, Pastoral Outreach Center. We knit hats and scarfs for the homeless, and hope to present them at the Mass for the Deceased Homeless November 12. If you've been working on a project, this is the time to bring it in. Information, Connie Carlson, 206-518-1623. MASS OF THANKSGIVING DAY. On Thursday, November 26 at 9:30am, we will have our annual Thanksgiving Day Mass, during which all are invited to bring forward non-perishable food items to be shared with the poor and needy in our neighborhood. What better way to begin our national feast of Thanksgiving than by celebrating the Eucharist as a parish family? SAFE ENVIRONMENT TRAINING. Are you a new volunteer at St. James? Have you been asked to attend a Safe Environment class before beginning your work in a ministry with young children or vulnerable adults?

And we will again also offer locally grown, florist quality 6” red or white poinsettias, sleeved in Mylar wrap for $15 each. Wreaths will be delivered to the St. James Advent Bazaar on Sunday November 29. Order forms are available at the Cathedral website. ST VINCENT DE PAUL SOCIETY THANKS YOU. We were running late on an evening of home visits. When we reached our last stop, the woman we met exclaimed with joy that she had just gotten down on her hands and knees and prayed that we had not forgotten her. Just as she finished her prayer, we knocked on her door! We provided food help, but what she needed most was our visit – a few minutes of friendly caring and sharing to relieve her loneliness and offer hope. Your support helps us deliver God’s gift of love – thank you! Information, Christine Henderson, 253-973-1441. SHARE YOUR PRAYERFUL, ATTENTIVE PRESENCE WITH THE CHILDREN OF ST JAMES.

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. Leo in Tacoma, St. Hubert in Langley, and St. Martin of Tours in Fife.
