Whether you are a visitor or a regular at St. James, you can walk through the Holy Doors of Mercy, the four bronze doors at the Cathedral’s west entrance. The center doors are opened before and after each Mass. A self-guided pilgrimage of prayer, The Way of Mercy, is available as well—pick up a flyer just inside the Holy Doors. INTENTIONAL SERVICE! Jesuit Volunteer EnCorps (JV EnCorps), a program of JVC Northwest, facilitates transformative opportunities for intentional service, community and spiritual formation for older adults committed to social and ecological justice. During their ten months of part-time volunteer service, participants ages 50 and older meet together regularly in community to deepen their spirituality and explore the values of simple living and social & ecological justice.

This is a time when women need the support of the whole community, yet many young mothers live far away from their extended families and wise elders.

Bring your young children and check it out. Information, Suzanne Lee, 206-654-4640.
ST VINCENT DE PAUL THANKS YOU. We visited a middle-aged man at his wit’s end over his electricity bill. His monthly usage was less than $40, and he always paid slightly more than that. But, he said, the balance due kept rising. “See? I owe them over $220 now! That means I’m more than 5 months behind! How can that be?” We looked at the bill. It showed a “credit balance” of $220. He had been overpaying (for a long time) and owed nothing. But he did not understand what a “credit balance” is and, thanks to a life lived in poverty, the idea of being “ahead” on his bill never occurred to him. We were all smiling as this conscientious man realized he could take a vacation from paying his bill! Your support makes our visits possible—would you like to join us? Information, Christine Henderson, 253-973-1441. REGISTRATION FOR 2016-2017 CHILDREN’S FAITH FORMATION year is open. St James offers classes for children from age 4 through Grade 8, including a Faith Mentors class for children with special needs as well as sacramental preparation classes. Information, Brenda Bellamy. HUNTHAUSEN AUCTION ON AUGUST 29. We need several bottles of wine for our famous “wine roulette.” Why not donate a bottle of your favorite wine so no one goes away empty handed? We need at least 25 bottles of wine for the roulette. Information, Margaret Lynch, 206-382-4288. 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 Star of the Sea in Bremerton and Port Townsend, and Sacred Heart in Seattle, Bellevue, and Morton.
