WELCOME, VISITORS! If you are a visitor to the Cathedral, we want you to know how welcome you are – whether you have come from another part of the country, from across the world, or simply from another parish here in the Archdiocese. 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.
ON THE COVER. Christ at the Last Supper. Blessed Sacrament Chapel, St. James Cathedral. NEW ON THE WEBSITE. If you were unable to be at Archbishop Hunthausen’s funeral services last Tuesday and Wednesday, you can still read or listen to Father Ryan’s homily online. There is an album of photos posted as well. WINTER SHELTER DONATIONS. If you are travelling this summer, consider bringing home the toiletries that are provided in your hotel rooms. Bring them to Coffee Hour or to the Parish Office so that they can be used by the men who stay at the Winter Shelter. Not only are you keeping a few more plastics out of the garbage, but you are sharing valuable hygiene products with our overnight guests. Thank you! OUTREACH SUNDAY. Join representatives from several of the Cathedral’s Outreach Ministries at Coffee Hour in Cathedral Hall, today after the 10am Mass. They will be on hand to share some of the work they are doing in our community. You may also want to learn more so that you can become involved! FROM HIROSHIMA TO HOPE. On Monday August 6, Pax Christi members will attend "From Hiroshima to Hope,” which honors victims of war and the atomic bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki. This annual event begins at 6 pm near the Bathhouse Theater at Green Lake, 7312 West Green Lake Drive North, and includes music, a program, and a floating lantern ceremony. Please consider joining us there. Information, visit www.fromhiroshimatohope.org or call Paul Snow, 206-226-5238. A WEEKLY TIP ON CARING FOR OUR COMMON HOME. During these warmer summer days, try to use air-conditioning sparingly. AC uses more energy and contributes to the accumulation of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere. It also has been demonstrated to have negative health effects, particularly for those with respiratory issues and some chronic conditions.
50 DIFFERENT ZIP CODES. Families who participate in Children’s Faith Formation live all over the Puget Sound region. Come join them!

This week we pray for the parishes of St. Mary of the Valley in Monroe, St. Philomena in Des Moines, and St. Lawrence in Raymond.
