The Puget Sound economy is built around our ports. The cargo ships that visit Seattle and Tacoma are staffed by an average of 25 men and women who spend up to 11 months away from family, and can face isolation and loneliness.

The Seattle Seafarers Center is now assembling a team of volunteers to welcome these hard-working individuals in Tacoma. Training and accompaniment will be provided. If you are interested, please call (206) 935-3439 or send an email. Your presence makes a difference!

In 2022, the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops launched a movement called Eucharistic Revival, for Catholics across the country to deepen their devotion to the Real Presence in the Eucharist. More information and resources may be found on the Archdiocese website.

Our Archdiocese invites all to a special event on Saturday, April 20, at 11 am: the Disability Inclusion Mass at St. James Cathedral, celebrated by Archbishop Etienne. The first in-person Inclusion Mass since the pandemic, it will be followed by a lunch and dance in the O'Dea High School gym.
