Because we cannot have our traditional Tre Ore service on Good Friday with homilies and meditations on the Seven Last Words of Christ, we have put together a collection of the "greatest hits" of Tre Ore services from past years.
Our scheduled preacher for this year, Father Michael Raschko, has already agreed to join us in 2021.

Helping the hungry and homeless
|
|
Catholic Community Services/Catholic Housing Services (CCS/CHS) are inviting St. James Cathedral parishioners to help with meals for those in need.
CCS/CHS has asked the Cathedral to provide meals for a Federal Way drop-in center that welcomes 75 people each day.
Both hot casseroles and cold sandwiches are greatly appreciated. In addition, toiletries (toothpaste, toothbrushes, soaps and shampoos are also needed. Please coordinate with Patrick Barredo (
pbarredo@stjames-cathedral.org
).
The St. Martin de Porres men’s shelter needs volunteers to prepare meals in their kitchen.
If you’re interested, contact Jeff Cathey, the Operations Supervisor at St. Martin de Porres (206.323.6341 or
jefferyc@ccsww.org
).
As more meals are brought to CCS/CHS, they will need to be delivered.
If you can help transport food, contact CCS Network Builder Erin Maguire (
ErinMa@ccsww.org
).
These are difficult times we live in. Any meal support you can provide for those experiencing homelessness is greatly appreciated.
However, please do observe our state’s directive to stay in your home, especially if you or anyone in your household is in a high-risk group.

Prayer to Our Lady of Seattle
|
|
At the moment, the Cathedral remains open for prayer from 8:00am-Noon daily. Because most of us cannot physically be at the Cathedral,
we have created a page to submit your prayer intentions online. These intentions will be placed at the foot of the image of Our Lady of Seattle in the Cathedral Chapel. A candle will also be lit at the shrine. Please join in praying for all the intentions of our parish community, especially those who are sick. In a special way, we are collecting the names of your family members who have died of coronavirus for a Book of the Dead.
