"I am in your midst as one who serves"
These words from the Gospel of Luke, inscribed in the
oculus high over the altar of St. James Cathedral, speak
to our mission to carry out Christ’s teaching in our urban
community of First Hill and downtown Seattle. Every day, dedicated St. James volunteers
lovingly reach out to hundreds of neighbors in need by providing meals, smiles, warm coats and clothes,
and the reassurance that indeed, Christ is in our midst.

regarding outreach ministry at St. James. If you’d like to receive this newsletter, send a message to
