We visited a middle-aged, disabled couple who had lived in a local “tent city” for two years, until authorities cleared out the location. Good news was that the couple qualified for and moved into a rent-subsidized apartment in a new building in our parish. They thought their combined disability income would be enough to pay all expenses. Bad news was the first utilities bill they received. The bill did not arrive until months after they moved in and was hundreds of dollars more than they expected. We provided just enough help to get their finances back on track, relieving them of much stress and worry. Your support made that possible – thank you! Information, Bob Clifford, 206-718-4158.

Many who attend St. James regularly and consider the Cathedral their parish have never officially registered. We strongly encourage you to register. Registered parishioners receive important mailings from the Cathedral (including offering envelopes!). Registration cards can be found in the vestibule and at the welcome table in Cathedral Hall. You can also register online.
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 Holy Redeemer in Vancouver and Sacred Heart in LaConner and Winlock.
