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 Sunday Help Desk at Coffee Hour. A Cathedral staff person will be on hand to assist you. FLOWERS AT THE ALTAR are offered by Shirley Wright and Louise Douglas in loving memory of their husbands, David Wright and Don Douglas. 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? MOTHER CABRINI CELEBRATION! Cabrini Ministry Training will be hosting a gathering for students, alumni, friends, and anyone interested in learning more about our formation program Saturday, November 14, 6:30 to 8:30pm in the Rectory Parlors. RSVP to info@cabriniministry.org. Information, John Simpson, 206-274-3173. COLLEGE STUDENT SUPPORT GROUP. Did you know that 40% of all college students do not seek support when feeling overwhelmed or experiencing depression, anxiety, eating disorders, addiction or thoughts of suicide? Non-traditional students like veterans, parents, immigrants, those living with a mental health condition or other complex situations may have even greater challenges. Join psychology doctoral candidate Andrea Salazar for Pizza and Problem Solving on Sunday, December 6, 3:00-4:30pm in the Fireside Room, Pastoral Outreach Center. The group will gather monthly. RSVP to Nancy Granger, 206-382-4269. ADVENT SOCK DRIVE COMING SOON. Starting on November 29, we will be collecting socks for our Advent Sock Drive! Last year, we set our goal at 2,015 pairs of socks, and we surpassed our goal and collected 2,632 pairs! Let’s see if we can get 3,000 pairs this year!
ST VINCENT DE PAUL SOCIETY THANKS YOU for your donations to the special collection taken for SVdP each month. Without your support, we could not provide material aid to the hundreds of residents of St James parish who call SVdP for help each year. We know that, for many of you, dropping a dollar bill or more in the SVdP collection basket is a sacrifice you willingly make because it is important to you to help your neighbors in need. Please know that every dollar you give makes a tangible difference in someone’s life – thank you! Information, Christine Henderson, 253-973-1441. ARE YOU INTERESTED IN BECOMING CATHOLIC? If you are an adult who has never been baptized, an adult who has been baptized in another Christian tradition, or a Catholic who has been baptized, but not received First Eucharist or Confirmation, you are invited to participate in the RCIA, a process of initiation into the Catholic Church. You can learn more by going to the RCIA website. Information, Kathleen McCabe, 206-382-2018. THINKING OF BEING MARRIED AT ST. JAMES CATHEDRAL? Parishioners are able to schedule a wedding at St. James Cathedral 14 months in advance; non- parishioners are able to schedule 12 months in advance. We do require at least six months preparation for the Sacrament of Matrimony. Information, Margaret Lynch, 206-382-4288
DONATE WINTER CLOTHES FOR SYRIAN REFUGEES. Make a difference today! Help us fill Salaam Cultural Museum’s container that will be shipped to Jordan next week.

The generous bequests of parishioners and friends are critical to fulfilling the mission of St James Cathedral. Each year, we rely on bequests to help us carry out our mission of prayer and outreach here on First Hill. Information, Maria Laughlin, 206-382-4284. 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. Frances Cabrini in Tacoma and St. Margaret in Seattle.
