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. COVER ART Lamb of God.

Information, Rosanne Michaels, 206-654-4658. THE QUALITY OF MERCY. On Monday, April 18 at 7:00pm in the Holy Names Room of the Pastoral Outreach Center, we conclude our series on Shakespeare’s The Merchant of Venice with Acts IV and V. Corinna Laughlin, Pastoral Assistant for Liturgy, will lead the session and Cathedral reader Scott Webster will perform key speeches from the play. All are welcome! HAVE YOU DRIFTED FROM YOUR CATHOLIC FAITH? Have you been watching Pope Francis and been inspired to return to regular practice of our faith? St. James Cathedral offers Welcome Back, our own program designed to help you become an active part of our faith community once again. It’s a safe place to ask questions, and begin to experience a small community of faith. The Welcome Back program just began, and will run through mid- June; it is not too late to join us. Sessions are held Monday evenings, 7–9pm, in Cathedral Place, 803 Terry Avenue. Information, Rosanne Michaels, 206-654-4658. ECUMENICAL PRAYER WITH MUSIC FROM TAIZÉ. Our next ecumenical prayer with music from Taizé will be on Friday, May 6 at 6:30pm in the Cathedral. This prayer now takes place on the first Friday of each month, rather than weekly. Please mark your calendar and come share in this beautiful ecumenical evening prayer.

In addition to financial aid from the schools and the Fulcrum Foundation, parishioners needing financial assistance may apply for a Parish scholarship if attending (or planning to attend) one of these schools.

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 parish of St. Mark in Shoreline and the Mission Church of Our Lady of Good Counsel in Eatonville.
