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.

Sometimes when we help people, they say they want to pay us back some day. We typically suggest they “pay it forward” instead, helping someone else with money or a simple act of kindness. One afternoon we helped an elderly woman in a large apartment building. On our way out, she rode the elevator down with us. On the elevator, another elderly woman who had visibly painful leg and hip problems admired her chair walker on wheels, saying she could really use something like that. The woman we were visiting immediately offered to give this stranger an older chair walker on wheels that she still had. By the time we left the building, both women were smiling and heading back upstairs to complete the gift. Your support makes precious moments like this possible – thank you!

A WEEKLY TIP ON CARING FOR OUR COMMON HOME. Eat less meat: Meat isn’t cheap, and it’s not great for the environment, either. 70% of the Amazon rainforest has been destroyed to raise cows, and meat production results in more carbon emissions than any other protein. Learning to cook a few choice vegetarian meals will save money, add variety to your palate, and give the planet a helping hand.
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. Margaret in Seattle, St. Cecilia in Stanwood and Bainbridge Island, St. Columban in Yelm, and Vietnamese Martyrs in Tukwila.
