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.

Archbishop Sartain has launched a major capital campaign to raise money for the retirement needs of priests and women religious throughout the Archdiocese of Seattle. In addition, the campaign raises funds for the Cathedral parish. In the coming days, you’ll receive a mailing at home about this important initiative. Learn more about the Called to Serve as Christ campaign and ask questions in the Cathedral Chapel following today’s Mass. We’ll show a short video and share exciting news about the parish project that is part of the campaign. Information, Maria Laughlin, 206-382-4284.

If you are an adult who has never been baptized, an adult who has been baptized in another Christian tradition or a Catholic who has been baptized, but not received First Eucharist or Confirmation, you are invited to participate in the RCIA, a process of initiation into the Catholic Church. You can learn more by going to the RCIA website. Information, Kathleen McCabe, 206-382-2018.
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. John Chrysostom (Byzantine) in Seattle and Holy Cross in Tacoma and Granite Falls.
