ST VINCENT DE PAUL THANKS YOU. We visited a young man who works for a local nonprofit that helps the homeless in Seattle. In his job, he walks many of the streets downtown in the late evenings, seeking homeless persons who need help. We were deeply moved by his gentleness and the way he spoke about his faith in Christ as motivation for his personal ministry to the poor. He needed help with rent and, because of your donations, it was our privilege to be able to help – thank you! Information, Bob Clifford, 206-718-4158. ST. JAMES CATHEDRAL ON SOCIAL MEDIA.

THURSDAY EVENING ADORATION. Immediately following the 5:30pm Mass on Thursday evenings, all are invited to a time of quiet prayer and adoration with Exposition of the Blessed Sacrament. A WEEKLY TIP ON CARING FOR OUR COMMON HOME. In this season of harvest which coincides with the Season of Creation, may we pray for farmers, their crops, their energy and work. May we all be blessed by the God of abundance and share generously with those most in need. BAPTISM OF INFANTS & YOUNG CHILDREN (under the age of 7) is celebrated monthly at one of the weekend Masses. To prepare for this most important sacrament, parents and godparents participate in a series of classes to update their understanding of baptism, to reflect on their responsibility to guide their children in the practice of the faith, and to learn about the many ways our parish supports families. Please allow at least two months for preparation. Information, Julianna Castro, 206-619-0816. 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 Our Lady of Sorrows in Snoqualmie, St. Matthew in Seattle, and SS. Cosmas and Damian in Orting.
