A WEEKLY TIP ON CARING FOR OUR COMMON HOME. Reuse and recycle! Landfills emit greenhouse gasses through decomposition while manufacturing goods from scratch is carbon-intensive. Find where and how to recycle almost anything at search.earth911.com. YOUNG ADULT THIRD SUNDAY SOCIAL. Join other young adults for our monthly wine and cheese social. The social takes place in the Rectory Parlors located across the courtyard on the south side of the Cathedral, right next to the bookstore. Regulars and newcomers welcome! Information, Curtis Leighton, 206-264-2082. ST VINCENT DE PAUL THANKS YOU. We visited a middle-aged, disabled man who had just moved into a small apartment after being homeless for years, staying in shelters and a car. Happy to finally have a place of his own, he applied for federal disability benefits. Good news is he quickly learned he had been approved for such benefits years before! Bad news is the federal government did not send him disability payments during all the years he was homeless because they did not know where to find him. We were happy to help with food and an SVdP store voucher to buy household items as he owned almost nothing other than a bed given to him by a friend. Your support helps people rebuild their lives – thank you. Information, Bob Clifford, 206-718-4158. SENIOR SUMMER SOCIAL this Wednesday, July 18! Don’t miss this enjoyable event!
