Palm Sunday

THIS SUNDAY, APRIL 2

The 9 and 11 a.m. services begin with the Liturgy of the Palms followed by an outdoor procession (weather permitting). It will once again be led by The Super-Krewe, a New Orleans-style brass band. This procession at Saint Mark's is always a boisterous affair, and rhythm instruments and noisemakers will be available, or you can bring your own. Gather on the front lawn. (In case of rain, gather in the cathedral nave.)

Please note that the Newcomers’ Coffee normally offered on the first Sunday of the month will not be offered on Palm Sunday. The next Newcomers’ Coffee will be on Sunday, May 7. Also, note that coffee will not be served in the corner of the nave following the services as usual. The Stations of the Cross liturgy will begin shortly following the conclusion of the 11 a.m. liturgy, so please help maintain an atmosphere of quiet in the nave at that time. 
Choral Evensong on Palm Sunday

THIS SUNDAY, APRIL 2, 4:30 P.M., in the cathedral nave and livestreamed

Mark the beginning of Holy Week with the cathedral's monthly offering of Choral Evensong on Palm Sunday. The mood of the service will be austere, with an emphasis on plainchant and unaccompanied singing, but the Evensong Choir's anthem will be Antonio Lotti's soaring and hauntingly expressive 8-part masterpiece, Crucifixus. The liturgy will conclude with all singing the beloved hymn, Abide with me.
FROM THE DIOCESE OF OLYMPIA
Bringing the Global Local: COP27 and What We Can Do About Climate Change

WEDNESDAY, APRIL 5, 7–8:30 p.m., online via Zoom only

Interested in COP27, or don’t know what that means at all? Join with others from across the diocese to learn about the most recent Council of Parties (COP) via the experiences of two members of our diocese who attended in November. We’ll hear from the diocese’s Missioner for Climate Justice John Kydd, as well as President of the American Geophysical Union, diaconate postulant, and cathedral community member Lisa Graumlich. There will also be time to learn about diocesan Creation Care efforts and ways to get connected to others doing this vital work across the diocese. Please register here to receive the Zoom link.

A follow up discussion will occur Wednesday, April 19, covering Local Climate Action and ways to get involved.
April’s Climate Conversation: Recycling

TUESDAY, APRIL 11, 6:30–7:30 p.m., online via Zoom

Please join us on Tuesday evening, April 11 from 6:30–8 p.m. for this month’s Climate Conversation when the topic will be Recycling. Recycling sounds easy, and separate waste bins for recycling and food waste make it seem simple. The reality is harder. Figuring out what to do with coffee cups, different types of plastic, digital devices and more becomes complex. We’ll look at a slew of different items that cause consternation when people try to figure out whether they’re recyclable, and we’ll provide answers about what you can do and where you can recycle them. You may use the same Zoom link you’ve used for previous Climate Conversation, or (re-)register here to receive the link. Find more information and videos of previous conversations here.

In 2021, the Episcopal Church released its Racial Justice Audit documenting the experience of race, racism, and racial identity within church leadership. At the Diocese of Olympia's Diocesan Convention last fall, a task force presented its findings and proposed ways we in this diocese might engage this important work. This forum, led by Canon Carla Robinson and Vinh Do, is designed as part of that work. All cathedral members are encouraged to register to attend, and members from other churches are most welcome also. This is an opportunity to listen, learn and engage in conversation with others as we seek to understand and work towards racial justice in our communities, guided by five questions developed by the Task Force. Contact Canon Carla Robinson for more information: crobinson@ecww.org

Saint Mark's members are especially encouraged to attend, both to see the cathedral in a new light, and to help extend hospitality to visitors, many of whom will be visiting THEIR cathedral for the first time.

A liturgy of Holy Eucharist with the rites of confirmation, reception, and reaffirmation for candidates from parishes near and far will begin at 10:30 a.m., opening with a grand, colorful procession of parish banners. Following the service, all are invited to enjoy lunch from food trucks and participate in activities for all ages. Learn more and find the link to register here.

MAY 6
SATURDAY, MAY 6, 9:30 A.M.–3 P.M., in person in Bloedel Hall and online via Zoom; registration required for either option.

Many of us have, unknowingly, been sold the story that our minds are superior to our bodies, and that our bodies are barriers to “pure” or “true” spirituality. Together, we will examine how these ideas continue to keep us from wholeness. We’ll explore practices that help us repair the fragmentations we carry inside of us, so that we can truly remember our bodily selves.

Easter Memorial and Thanksgiving Gifts

This Sunday is your last chance to make a special contribution in honor or in memory of a loved one and have it printed in the Easter Bulletins.

Then make a gift in any amount, using the method that is most convenient for you—by check, saintmarks.org/give, or Venmo. Contributions received by Palm Sunday, April 2, will be acknowledged in the Easter service bulletin. Contact Erik Donner in the cathedral office with questions: edonner@saintmarks.org
A Note about Tenebrae

WEDNESDAY IN HOLY WEEK, APRIL 5, 7 P.M.

Tenebrae has been offered on Wednesday in Holy Week at Saint Mark's for several decades, following the form of the liturgy found in The Book of Occasional Services. However, the liturgy of Tenebrae itself has been famous for centuries, principally because of the reputation of the version presented in the Sistine Chapel in Rome. By the 18th and 19th centuries, it had become a must-see tourist attraction for Europeans in Rome on the "Grand Tour." A collection of rumors and myths and legends grew up around this event—and in particular around the musical selection that concludes the liturgy, a setting of Psalm 51 known as the Allegri Miserere.

Although initially based on a composition by the 16th-century composer Gregorio Allegri, the form of the piece that has become famous is the result of several centuries of embellishment, improvisation, revision, and updating, most notoriously adding a high C for solo soprano. For many, this "Miserere with the high C" is the signature element of Tenebrae. However, in this form, the piece has become a vehicle for vocal virtuosity, a dazzling showpiece for a star soprano, which perhaps sits uneasily with the solemn nature of a Holy Week liturgy at Saint Mark's Cathedral.

Tenebrae at Saint Mark's has, in the past, concluded with various settings of Psalm 51, usually in plainchant. This year, the adults of the Evensong Choir will present a new arrangement of the Miserere, in English, based on the version that Gregorio Allegri actually wrote. It is an austere but beautiful harmonic formula in a genre known as a falsobordone—similar settings are frequently sung by the Compline Choir for the Nunc dimittis. If you are familiar with the famous "Allegri Miserere," you may be interested to hear the seed from which the well-known version grew. If the piece is new to you, the Evensong Choir is pleased to present this unique and prayerful setting.
