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.

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. ENVIRONMENTAL FAIR 2018. The Care for Creation committee will be hosting its annual Environmental Fair on Sunday, April 29 after the 10am and 12 Noon Masses. As we approach the 3rd anniversary of Pope Francis’ encyclical on the environment, Laudato Si’, we hope that the Fair will be an opportunity to become informed and take action in ways to protect and nurture our environment, promoting a healthier environment for all.
