WELCOME, SUMMER VISITORS! St. James Cathedral is proud to welcome visitors from near and far throughout the summer months. Each week a drawing for a special Cathedral gift will be made from among all the visitor envelopes used. Please write your address on the visitor envelope provided in the pew and drop it with your offering into the collection basket. Thank you for adding to the power of our prayer by your presence in our midst today. Be sure to stop by the Cathedral Bookstore after Mass for a wide selection of Cathedral souvenirs as well as books and gifts. ON THE COVER. St. James Cathedral is depicted on a utility box at 9th and Madison, part of a First Hill beautification project. The artist is Nathan Watkins. CHAPEL CLOSED. The Cathedral Chapel is closed this month for plaster work and painting. We apologize for the inconvenience. CAMINO SEATTLE ROSARY WALK AFTER 10AM MASS. Join us for a walk through First Hill and Central District today, Sunday, July 16 at 11:15am. Starting from St. James Cathedral's front steps, our walk will take us to different images of Mary at Seattle University, Immaculate Conception, and St. James Cathedral, and we’ll pray a decade of the rosary at each stop. The walk will be just under three miles and will last about an hour and a half. We will depart promptly at 11:15am. TREASURES OF THE CAMINO. As we prepare to celebrate the Feast of St. James on July 23, a special exhibit in the Reconciliation Chapel celebrates the Camino to Santiago de Compostela—the great shrine of St. James in Spain. Parishioners who have walked the Camino have shared some photos and treasures from along the way. The Reconciliation Chapel is located off the west vestibule of the Cathedral and will be open before and after Mass so you can view the exhibit. ST VINCENT DE PAUL THANKS YOU. In June, we visited a woman suffering from serious medical conditions and undergoing radiation. She and a friend were splitting the cost of a rental house, but the owner sold the house, so they had to move out and the friend moved away. The woman had just been approved to receive monthly Social Security Disability Insurance, but the payments would not begin until July. She was able to move into a small apartment but had no money to pay June rent. Another charity agreed to pay part but only if someone else would help, too. From your donations, we paid the gap on her June rent. Now she can focus on her health and not fear homelessness – thank you! Information, Bob Clifford, 206-718-4158. CAMINO SEATTLE WALKS THIS WEEK. It’s already the last week of Camino Seattle! Cathedral pilgrims can collect their prayer and walking stamps each week at coffee hour or at the Cathedral Bookstore. In addition, you can get a bonus stamp by participating in a hosted walk or other group event. Walks this coming week include:
For details on these walks, visit www.stjames-cathedral.org/camino. A WEEKLY TIP ON CARING FOR OUR COMMON HOME. Talk with fellow parishioners about the possibility of sharing rides to Mass and other parish events as a way of reducing your carbon footprint. You can take this a step further by organizing occasional walk-to-church weekends. This would be a blessed opportunity to extend the Camino experience! GATES FOUNDATION TOUR. On Wednesday, July 26 at 11am, St. James Social Outreach and Advocacy is sponsoring a tour of the Gates Foundation campus in South Lake Union to learn about their work locally and globally. If you are interested, RSVP at outreach@stjames-cathedral.org or 206-382-4515. Limited transportation will be available from the Cathedral.

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. Bridget in Seattle, St. Olaf in Poulsbo, and St. Ann in Seattle, Tacoma, and Forks.
