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.
ON THE COVER The Most Holy Trinity. Joan Brand-Landkamer, Cathedral iconographer.
FLOWERS AT THE ALTAR are the gift of Seattle
University in honor of the Class of 2017.
GUEST CHOIR SATURDAY 5:30PM. We welcome the
choir of Holy Trinity Lutheran, Mercer Island, directed
by Chrade Younkin. They will sing an extended prelude
as well as Offertory and Communion motets, and a
postlude.
ST VINCENT DE PAUL THANKS YOU. A middle-aged man
who lives near the Cathedral was riding the bus on his
way to start a new job as a maintenance worker. The bus
driver slammed on the brakes and the man was thrown to
the floor, breaking his wrist. Unable to work, he lost the
job and faced several weeks of no income before he
could even start looking for another job. He paid most of
his rent by using up his savings. With your support, SVdP helped with his rent and paid his water/sewer bill,
enabling him to keep his apartment and avoid a shutoff
of essential utilities – thank you! Information,
Bob
Clifford, 206-718-4158.
IMMIGRATION: WHAT DO YOU THINK? WHAT DO
YOU BELIEVE? Immigration is a part of lives – in our
workplace, neighborhoods, and in our parish! How
does it effect you and what do you think about it? On
Monday night, June 12, the Cathedral will host a
Dialogue on Immigration. Any interested parishioner
is welcome to attend, but must register in advance.
This evening will not be a “town hall”, but rather a
chance to dialogue in small groups about what we
experience, think, and believe about immigration.
Please join us! Monday, June 12, 6:30-9pm in the
Isaac Orr Center, 910 Marion Street. To register,
please email your name to
Patrick Barredo.

TRAINING FOR PREPARES VOLUNTEERS.
PREPARES, which stands for Pregnancy and
Parenting Support, is a partnership with Catholic
Community Services and other Catholic agencies. In
this new ministry, teams of parishioners will provide
unconditional, safe and nurturing care to pregnant
women and needy families through a child’s 5th
birthday. PREPARES puts in action our Catholic
teachings, calling us to respect all human life and to
observe a preferential option for the poor. A training
session for new volunteers has been scheduled for
Monday, June 19, 6:00-9:00pm in the Pastoral
Outreach Center at 907 Columbia. Information and
registration,
Suzanne Lee, 206-654-4640.
OUTREACH & ADVOCACY NEWSLETTER. At the
beginning of each month, a digital newsletter is sent
out with news, information and stories about the Life,
Peace and Justice ministries of the Cathedral.
Recently, we’ve highlighted our work with
immigrants, mental health services and encounters
with our neighbors who are homeless. If you’d like to
receive this newsletter, please send a message to
outreach@stjames-cathedral.org and ask to subscribe
to the newsletter.
DONATIONS SOUGHT. Do you have new or gently used
art supplies, books, or toys at home? As we prepare for
our trip to Nicaragua this July, we are asking for
donations that we can bring with us for the children at NPH. Items can be dropped off in the parish office
with a tag that says NPH. We’re especially looking
for: ESL beginner level workbooks, 5th/6th grade level
reading books in Spanish; board games, art supplies,
sports equipment, a long jump rope, soccer balls, and
outdoor/field games. Information,
Curtis Leighton,
206-264-2082.
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.
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.

NICARAGUA INFO SESSION. Our second-to-last
info session for the Nicaragua trip will be in the
Outreach Center this Sunday from 6:30-8:30pm.
Presenter Kara King will speak to us about how to
let go of our cultural baggage and be present to
the experiences that await us at NPH Nicaragua.
LAST YOUTH NIGHT before we break for summer
is Sunday, June 18. We’ll have a chance to thank
our volunteers, send off our seniors, and enjoy the
summer weather on the patio of the Pastoral
Outreach Center. We hope to see you there!

Opportunities to Serve
Do you long to get more involved in the Cathedral
parish and find ways to meet fellow parishioners and
form community here? The best way to do that is by
getting involved in one of our many ministries!
Here are some current opportunities.
SUNDAY COFFEE HOUR VOLUNTEERS NEEDED. St. James hosts a Coffee
Hour in the Cathedral Hall on Sundays after the 8am, 10am, and 12pm
Masses. It is a welcoming space in which persons experiencing
homelessness and parishioners can come together to drink coffee, eat
pastries, relax, and socialize. It is also a great place to learn about
the array of ministries and volunteer opportunities at St. James. We are
in need of volunteers to serve coffee and pastries and help clean up
after each Mass.
Information,
Hunt Hoffman, 206-382-4235.
VOLUNTEER SERVICES is a program of Catholic
Community Services committed to helping lowincome elders and adults with
disabilities remain independent in their own home through a network of caring
community members. Our volunteers assist with tasks like household chores, yard
work, transportation, or grocery shopping and are free to choose the number of
hours, location, and type of volunteering that works best for them! We have many
people waiting to be matched throughout King County and every new volunteer
helps us get another client help with services that allow them to remain living
independently. Information,
Katie
Auger, 206-328-6858.
OPERATION NIGHTWATCH SANDWICH MAKERS
NEEDED. We are in need of volunteers to help
prepare sandwiches at Operation Nightwatch.
Nightwatch is a shelter for older members of the
homeless community that also serves free meals to
people living on the streets. St. James Cathedral is
responsible for making sandwiches at Nightwatch on the First and Third Tuesday
of each month. Our sandwiches volunteers work from 5:15pm-7pm. Information,
Hunt
Hoffman, 206-382-4235.
OPERATION NIGHTWATCH SERVERS NEEDED. We
are in need of a volunteer to help serve meals at
Operation Nightwatch. St. James Cathedral is
responsible for serving hot dinners at Nightwatch on the Second Sunday of each
month. Our volunteers serve from food and clean up from approximately
8pm-10pm. Information,
Hunt
Hoffman, 206-382-4235.
MENTAL HEALTH & WELLNESS MINISTRY is in need of well-suited volunteers
to provide ministry of presence during all liturgies. If you would like to learn
more about this opportunity to provide a sense of safety, comfort and
understanding to our fellow brothers and sisters, some experiencing mental
health challenges, contact
Nancy Granger, 206-382-4269.

A guide to Sunday parking at the Cathedral
We know that parking in this area is at a premium and we do our best to make it available to you.
In consideration of our neighbors, please note these important Do’s and Don’ts!
PLEASE DO park:
- In the O’Dea High School lot.
- In the Cabrini Tower Garage on Marion Street across from O’Dea High School for the Saturday 5:30 pm
Mass and all Sunday Masses. The Cathedral pays for parking (and for official traffic officers from the
Seattle Police Department) during these times, and you are encouraged to take advantage of it.
Did you know that there is also parking underground at Cabrini Garage? Dozens of spots sit
empty most weekends! Try it if you arrive late.
- In the P-1 parking lot under the Chancery building at 9th and Marion.
Please DO NOT park:
- In any parking spot marked with an orange cone.
- In the lot adjacent to the Envoy Apartments on 9th Avenue, directly across from the Cathedral.
- In the Blood Bank parking lot at the corner of Terry and Columbia.
- In the Frye Museum parking lots on Terry Avenue.
- In the parking places at the Pastoral Outreach Center, 907 Columbia
Street.
- In the spaces on Terry Avenue reserved for loading and unloading of
the parish vans.
|
FOR YOUR SAFETY. It is important for you to know that
at each of the weekend Masses a Seattle police officer
or a private security guard is present on the Cathedral
campus. |
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 pray for the parishes of St. Anthony in Renton,
Immaculate Heart of Mary in Sedro Woolley and Kelso, and
the mission church of St. Anthony in Carnation.
