PRAYER TEAM FOR THE NEEDS OF OUR LOCAL CHURCH Archbishop Etienne has asked each parish in the Archdiocese to establish a prayer team to pray for the mission of the Church. Pope Francis has called the whole Church to reflect on synodality (shared leadership) during the coming year. In our local Church, the Archdiocese of Seattle is in the midst of a pastoral planning process, to help us focus on Christ as we set our priorities. And on the parish level, the Cathedral Vision Council has been meeting to set the parish vision for the next five years. We have much to pray for! Will you join this team? All that is required is praying each day that we all may carry out the mission we have received from Jesus. You will receive a prayer intention each week by text or e-mail, as well as prayers you might wish to use in your own daily prayer. Information or to sign up, Corinna Laughlin, claughlin@stjames-cathedral.org.
 
RESTORING OUR RELATIONSHIP WITH GOD'S CREATION: FROM STEWARDSHIP TO KINSHIP Saturday, September 25, 10:00am at Our Lady of Guadalupe Parish (West Seattle). Join the St. James Care for Creation team, the Creation Care Network and Our Lady of Guadalupe parish for this Season of Creation prayer service. Representatives from the Duwamish people will also participate as we pray for a deeper focus on the connection between creation care and indigenous land and communities. This prayer service will be in-person and will also be livestreamed. Information or to register for the livestream, Patrick Barredo, pbarredo@stjames-cathedral.org.
 
FIXING HOMELESSNESS  Don't miss the important upcoming Zoom meeting on Thursday, September 23, at 6:30pm, put together by the St. James Housing Advocacy Committee. Three notable panelists including, Tim Burgess, Kate Wilson and Mario Villanueva will discuss the proposed Compassion Seattle initiative. In the wake of the recent court ruling that precluded the inclusion of the Amendment 29 on the ballot, where do we go from here? How do we now undertake the critical dialogue that is needed to address the problem of homelessness in Seattle?
