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.

This is a paid position, about 10-15 hours per week. We are looking for a reliable, flexible, and active person who loves the Mass and loves the Cathedral. Some lifting and physical activity is required. If you are interested, please contact Corinna Laughlin, 206-264-2086. A WEEKLY TIP ON CARING FOR OUR COMMON HOME. One healthy home cleaning habit ensures that new air comes in regularly. Open the windows from time to time or run any installed exhaust fans. In cold weather, the most efficient way to exchange room air is to open windows and doors and let fresh air in quickly for about 5 minutes. The furnishings in the room, and the walls, act as ‘heat sinks’, and by exchanging air quickly, this heat is retained. ST VINCENT DE PAUL THANKS YOU. A middle-aged bus passenger stopped a larger man from attacking the bus driver. Then the attacker pulled the passenger off the bus and beat him severely. Unable to work due to the injuries, the man was laid off his job until a doctor clears him to return to work. Despite applying all his savings toward his rent, he needed help to avoid eviction. With your support, we paid enough to keep this hero housed until he gets his next paycheck – thank you! Information, Bob Clifford, 206-718-4158. 50TH ANNIVERSARY OF THE DEATH OF THOMAS MERTON.
