On July 28-29, we celebrated our patronal feast, the feast of St. James, Apostle.  Here, Father Ryan incenses the image of St. James that hangs over the north entrance to the Cathedral. 


At the conclusion of Mass, St. James "the Greatest" makes his annual appearance. This 18-foot puppet is operated by five people.  Watch an animation of the procession at the Noon Mass.


After the 10:00am and Noon Masses, the annual Parish Picnic on Terry Avenue.  For the sixth straight year, the picnic was coordinated by volunteers Anna Horton and Stephen Pace.  THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU!


The fearless ushers grilled up hundreds of hot dogs, hamburgers, and veggie burgers.

The Nguyen family served up popcorn...

The Young Adults ran the popular Bingo Game this year.


The children of St. Matthew School in Seattle created this enormous mosaic in honor of our Centennial.  It's way bigger than life-size!


You have to hold still if you want to get your face painted.

The piñata is the grand finale of the picnic each year.  It's the gift of Mike Kaminski and Ruben Deanda.


Thank you to all the volunteers who made this fun event possible.  Happy Feast Day!
