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. HUNTHAUSEN GOLF TOURNAMENT IS AUGUST 29. On Monday, August 29, at Glendale Country Club, we will hold our 20th annual Hunthausen Golf Tournament.

We visited an electrician who recently moved here. Before moving, he was renting a room to a tenant who, when told he would have to move out, got angry, shot and robbed the man. Determined to start a new life, the electrician took a cross-country bus before his gunshot wound healed. After such setbacks, he needed rent assistance while learning computer skills necessary to obtain union employment in our competitive job market, so he called the SVdP Helpline (206-767-6449). Your financial donations helped keep him housed another month–thank you! Information, Bob Clifford, 206-718-4158. BAPTISM OF INFANTS & YOUNG CHILDREN (under the age of 7) is celebrated monthly at one of the weekend Masses. To prepare for this most important sacrament, parents and godparents participate in a series of classes to update their understanding of baptism, to reflect on their responsibility to guide their children in the practice of the faith, and to learn about the many ways our parish supports families. Please allow at least two months for preparation. Information, Julianna Castro, 206-619-0816.

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.

This week we remember in prayer the parishes of St. Pius X in Mountlake Terrace; Queen of Heaven in Tacoma, and Queen of Angels, Port Angeles.
