PLEASE CONSIDER VOLUNTEERING WITH ST VINCENT DE PAUL A year after I retired, I found a need to reboot my life. After some consideration, I joined the St Vincent de Paul conference at St James. As a Vincentian, I have met people in the neighborhoods surrounding St James. Although these neighbors are in our midst, they were hidden from my sight. Every neighbor we visit is an individual with their own story. Finding Christ in these neighbors is a blessing to me. Please join us as an inquirer and find out if this is a ministry in which you can serve. Information, Jo Ann Wiesner, 206-291-4012 or wiesnerjo@gmail.com.

THE SISTERS: A CONCERT TO BENEFIT UKRAINE – Saturday, June 11 at 8:00pm, The Esoterics presents THE SISTERS, featuring the sacred choral music of Ukrainian composer Bohdana Frolyak and her late sister Hanna Havrylets. Both are composers who were teaching in conservatories before this year's Russian invasion of Ukraine. Hanna, the elder sister, died tragically on the third day of the war, when she suffered an aneurysm and was unable to get medical attention. The younger sister, Bohdana, has recovered Hanna's scores and shared them with director Eric Banks along with her own works. All of the proceeds from this concert will benefit humanitarian organizations in the Ukraine that have been selected by Bohdana. No tickets or reservations required.
