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. Be sure to stop by the Cathedral Bookstore after Mass for a wide selection of Cathedral souvenirs as well as Catholic books and gifts.

Thank you for your generosity. LENTEN ADORATION ON FRIDAY EVENINGS. Each Friday during Lent, we will have an hour of Exposition of the Blessed Sacrament following the 5:30pm evening Mass. It is a time for silent prayer in the presence of Christ, lasting until 7:00pm. Stay for the whole prayer or drop in for a few minutes. EASTER GREETERS NEEDED. We need greeters to assist at the Masses of Easter Day at 10:00am and 12 Noon, to welcome our visitors and regulars on Easter morning and hand out programs. You will need to arrive one hour early. Reserved seats will be provided for you as soon as Mass begins. Information, Corinna Laughlin. THE SCRUTINIES. Lent began in the Church as a time of intense spiritual preparation and healing for the Elect, those preparing to celebrate the sacraments of Baptism, Confirmation, and First Holy Communion at the Easter Vigil. On the third, fourth and fifth Sundays of Lent, the Church pours out her most powerful prayers for deliverance from sin and evil during the Scrutiny Rites.
THE CATHEDRAL KITCHEN IS ACCEPTING APPLICATIONS for our Kitchen Greeter position. The job includes greeting meal guests and monitoring the dining hall during our daily serving of meals. The job also requires unloading the gleaning van, sorting its contents, and cleaning and closing up the Kitchen at the end of day. Information, Teddi Callahan, 206-264-2091. VAN DRIVERS NEEDED. Our Sunday van ministry is an important outreach to senior parishioners who would not be able to get to 10:00am Mass on Sunday if it weren’t for our drivers. Right now we have a need for several drivers, each to cover one Sunday a month. Openings are currently on the third, fourth, and fifth Sundays. All training provided; background check required. Information, Maria Laughlin, 206-382-4284. A WEEKLY TIP ON CARING FOR OUR COMMON HOME. Think prayerfully about how we are using up our resources at an unsustainable rate. Reflect on the fact that the richest 20% of the world’s population consumes 80% of its resources, while 80% of the population has to make do with the remaining 20%. OPERATION NIGHTWATCH SUNDAY SERVERS NEEDED. We are in immediate need of volunteers to help serve meals at Operation Nightwatch, which provides food and shelter to persons experiencing homelessness in Seattle. The Cathedral serves a hot meal at Nightwatch on the second Sunday of each month, from approximately 8pm-10pm. Information, Hunt Hoffman. APPLICATIONS FOR CATHOLIC SCHOOL SCHOLARSHIPS. St. James supports SIX Catholic Elementary Schools in Seattle: St. Therese, St. Paul, St. Edward, St. George, St. Joseph and Holy Family Bilingual. These schools provide in-parish tuition rates for registered St. James parishioners.

CATHEDRAL GARDEN VOLUNTEERS NEEDED. We are preparing to get the Cathedral Garden back up and running and need volunteers! Information, Hunt Hoffman. JOB OPENING. The Cathedral has an opening for a custodian to perform basic janitorial responsibilities. This person will also work with the Cathedral Facilities staff in setting up for special events.

MARK YOUR CALENDAR FOR SVDP’S “STUFF THE TRUCK” EVENT. On Sunday, April 22 (8:00am- 2:30pm), a St Vincent de Paul truck will be in the O’Dea parking lot to receive your donations of gently used clothes, shoes, kitchen and other household goods, books, DVDs, CDs, sports equipment and other re-sellable items. During Lent last year, dozens of parishioners sacrificed their time to cull through personal possessions and decide what they could part with. The result was a huge haul for SVdP, yielding countless treasures that were then sold through SVdP’s five King County thrift shops. Proceeds benefitted our neighbors in need. Can you help us haul away an even bigger stash of treasures this year? Information, Ken Goddard, 206-981-7185.
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. Joseph in Chehalis, Vancouver, Pe Ell, Ferndale, Issaquah, Elma, and Sequim.
