ST VINCENT DE PAUL THANKS YOU Six
years ago our Cathedral Vincentians met a middle-aged man who needed
a winter coat. We visited in his apartment and learned he could not
afford a coat or find one large enough to fit. We helped him find a
good coat that was a perfect fit, at no cost to him. While visiting,
we also learned he can barely read and has multiple health issues.
Despite such challenges, we could see he did his best to manage his
limited disability income and rarely needed help. After the pandemic
started but before the eviction moratorium, we were surprised to
hear he needed help paying rent. We visited by phone and learned his
building had been sold. The new owner was charging an additional fee
for utilities, but he did not recall getting notice of the utilities
charge. He was many months behind paying utilities and had just
received an eviction notice for failure to pay. Because of his
limited reading skills, he did not understand the eviction notice.
We explained a few things and then, after our phone visit, talked
with his landlord. The result was that we paid enough on the
utilities bill to make sure he could stay in his apartment and pay
the balance himself over time. And he still has that old winter
coat. Your donations to SVdP at the Cathedral make our help possible--thank you!

YEAR OF THE EUCHARIST “The
Eucharist is the living presence of Christ in our midst. That
presence does not, must not leave us unchanged. Receiving the Body
of Christ, we become the Body of Christ†(Archbishop Etienne). Does
participation in the Eucharist change me?
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. Michael in Olympia
and Snohomish; St. Gabriel in Port Orchard; and St. Jerome in Ocean
Shores.
