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. 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 Edgardo Telmo in loving memory of his mother Irene on the 4th anniversary of her death. THE PARISH OFFICE WILL BE CLOSED on Thursday, November 24 and Friday, November 25, in observance of the Thanksgiving holiday. There will be just one Mass in the Cathedral on Thanksgiving Day, at 9:30am, after which the Cathedral will be closed. On Friday, November 25, the Cathedral will be open and Masses follow the usual schedule. THANKSGIVING CANNED FOOD DRIVE. Once again, parishioners are encouraged to bring canned food and other non-perishable food items to this year’s Thanksgiving Day Mass, Thursday, November 24 at 9:30am.

Join us on Tuesday, November 29 from 6–8 pm to discuss the future of immigration reform and what we can do to support justice for immigrants and refugees. We will be meeting in the Holy Names Room on the second floor of the Pastoral Outreach Center. Information, Christopher Koehler, 206-382-4511. ST VINCENT DE PAUL THANKS YOU. We visited a middle-aged woman who moved to Seattle for extended medical treatment. She found a small apartment but, with little income, could not afford cooking utensils, dishes, bed sheets, a blanket or even a pillow. She called the SVdP Helpline (206-767-6449). We gave her store vouchers and suggested that, when treatments make her too tired to cook, she enjoy a free, hot meal at the Cathedral Kitchen. When she spoke about a church “back home” that she misses, we urged her to join a local faith community and invited her to St James. Thank you for your generous support of SVdP’s ministry of presence! Information, Bob Clifford, 206-718-4158.

This week we remember in prayer the parishes of Christ the King in Seattle, St. Cecilia in Stanwood and Bainbridge Island, and St. Columban in Yelm.
