to register for this gathering
In solidarity with one another and with those who are oppressed, you are invited to a Town Hall dialogue on Racial Justice.
Our gathering will bring us together, united in faith and justice. Grounded in prayer, we will listen and learn about what our faith teaches about racism and the ways that each of us is called by the Spirit to respond to and address the current situation.
Bishop Mark Seitz reflects:
Today, we meet Jesus in those tear-gassed, tased, strangled and snuffed out. That's the reason why the church teaches a preferential option for the poor. And why the church stands up for life wherever and whenever it is devalued and threatened.
To say, as all who eat from the table of the Eucharist should be able to say, that black lives matter is just another way of repeating something we in the United States seem to so often forget, that God has a special love for the forgotten and oppressed.
We are all called to live our faith through learning, prayer, and action. May we come together to strive to bring to fulfillment the Reign of God rooted in justice and peace.

Feast of the Sacred Heart/Juneteenth
|
|
This year, providentially, the Solemnity of the Sacred Heart of Jesus falls on Friday, June 19, also known as Juneteenth. To mark this moment, Father Ryan will preside at the 8:30am Mass livestreamed from the Cathedral. Deacon Joseph Connor of Seattle's Immaculate Conception Church will preach.
WATCH THE LIVESTREAM
What is Juneteenth? “Juneteenth is the oldest nationally celebrated commemoration of the ending of slavery in the United States. Dating back to 1865, it was on June 19th that the Union soldiers, led by Major General Gordon Granger, landed at Galveston, Texas with news that the war had ended and that the enslaved were now free. Note that this was two and a half years after President Lincoln’s Emancipation Proclamation - which had become official January 1, 1863.... The reactions to this profound news ranged from pure shock to immediate
jubilation.... The celebration of June 19th was coined 'Juneteenth' and grew with more participation from descendants. The Juneteenth celebration was a time for reassuring each other, for praying and for gathering remaining family members.... Juneteenth almost always focused on education and self improvement. Thus, often guest speakers are brought in and the elders are called upon to recount the events of the past.”

Annual Catholic Appeal: Progress Report
|

A huge
thank you
to all who have made their gift to the Annual Catholic Appeal. We have now received 480 pledges totaling $414,000—which is quite amazing! At this point, every dollar that is donated will come directly to the parish to support our Cathedral ministries.
This year we intend to use the rebate to help offset the losses we have experienced as a result of the suspension of public Masses.
We have set our rebate goal at $200,000, and we still need to raise $156,000 to hit that number.
Please note that the online giving page does not always work with Microsoft Edge, so please try another browser if you have difficulties processing a gift.
