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.

Information and passes, www.pacificmusicworks.org or 206-708-6003. ST VINCENT DE PAUL THANKS YOU. Most people we visit need our financial help one time only and never again. But some we see off and on over the years – like one elderly woman living downtown who receives a minimal Social Security check each month but whose ongoing medical expenses make it hard for her to keep up with rent. We help when we can and have had the pleasure of watching her move from a dark, tiny room where she often felt ill and depressed to a small, light-filled apartment where she is now healthier and happier. She welcomes our visits and enjoys our conversations, as do we. Your support pays bills and brings joy to many–thank you! Information, Bob Clifford, 206-718-4158. MULTICULTURAL CELEBRATION OF ALL OUR SAINTS. On Saturday, November 3 at 11:00am, Archbishop Sartain will celebrate Mass with communities from across the Archdiocese of Seattle, as we honor our diversity and the saints who guide us along the way. The Mass will be preceded by Exposition of the Blessed Sacrament at 10:00am; a reception will follow. All are welcome! A WEEKLY TIP ON CARING FOR OUR COMMON HOME. Go nuts! Make the most of nuts in the Autumn by giving a new twist to some of your usual dishes. Crumble or toast them, add to pasta dishes, salads, stuffing, yogurt and desserts.
BABYSITTING for children up to 4-years of age is available every Sunday during the 10am and Noon Masses in the Mother Cabrini Room located on the first floor of the Pastoral Outreach Center. Babysitting is also offered during baptism preparation classes and special events. You are welcome to visit our babysitting room to get to know our paid staff and to help your children get comfortable. Information, Suzanne Lee, 206-654-4640.
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. Francis of Assisi in Friday Harbor and Seahurst; St. Therese in Seattle, St. Theresa in Federal Way, and Holy Rosary in Seattle, Tacoma, and Edmonds.
