ST VINCENT DE PAUL THANKS YOU A middle aged woman and her young son moved to Seattle for health reasons and found the climate improved their asthma. The woman was able to transfer into a full-time job with her employer. Unfortunately, the expense of moving and a short lapse of employment helped deplete her savings. She struggled to pay her current month’s rent. The woman called the St Vincent de Paul Helpline (206-767-6449). Because of your support, we were able to offer enough help to get caught up and breathe easier. Information, Jo Ann Wiesner, 206-291-4012 or wiesnerjo@gmail.com.

CARE FOR CREATION TIP OF THE WEEK Don’t pre-rinse. Run your dishwasher. Modern dishwashers use far less water to clean a load of unrinsed plates than washing by hand. Just leave room for the water sprayers to reach every dish.

VISIT THE CATHEDRAL COLUMBARIUM A columbarium is a cemetery for the reverent burial of cremated remains. The way we honor the mortal remains of our deceased family members and friends is a reflection of the faith we profess in the Nicene Creed: we believe in the resurrection of the dead, and the life of the world to come. The columbarium is open for prayer whenever the Cathedral is open. It is a beautiful place to visit and pray for all our beloved dead. Eternal rest grant to them, O Lord, and let perpetual light shine upon them. May they rest in peace.
PREPARES DIAPER DRIVE The Respect Life committee at the Cathedral has re-launched! Their first project will be a diapers and baby wipes drive on May 13-14. Especially needed are size 3, 4 and 5 diapers. Donations, which will go to Catholic Community Services’ PREPARES program, can be brought to Stuff the Cathedral Van, which will be parked on Terry Avenue outside the Cathedral that weekend. Would you like to be involved in further efforts to ensure the dignity of all life? New members are welcome, especially to help with the upcoming diaper and baby wipes drive. Information, Ted Nutting, theodorenutting@msn.com.
