Chris Stroh comes to Seattle after 15 years as the Principal Organist for the Basilica of Saint Mary in Minneapolis, Minnesota. He will play a program entitled "Hail, Star of the Sea: Organ Music in Celebration of the Blessed Virgin Mary":

Summer concerts, approximately 1 hour long with no intermission, are only presented in-person and are not livestreamed. Registration is no longer required and there are no limits on the number of attendees. Masks are required for those who are not vaccinated against COVID-19 and optional (but recommended) for vaccinated people. We encourage you to purchase tickets in advance to help prevent long entry lines, but tickets will also be sold at the door.

Hunthausen Golf Tournament is August 30
Since 1997, this tournament has raised funds to support the neediest in our community. In 2019, the tournament raised over $169,000 for our neighbors in need. Last year, we weren’t able to gather, but incredibly, you still contributed a remarkable $116,000 to support Cathedral outreach ministries. This year, on Monday, August 30, 2021, we’re back in person at beautiful Glendale Country Club, and we hope you will be there to make the event bigger and better than ever!
 
This important event makes possible our Cathedral Kitchen, which has continued to operate safely throughout the pandemic, serving hot, nutritious takeaway meals to homeless and low-income men and women in the downtown area. The tournament also supports many other important Cathedral outreach ministries, including our Solanus Casey Center, Sunday Breakfast, Immigrant Assistance Program, and Mental Health Ministry.
 
On behalf of the many, many people who are helped through the programs of St. James Cathedral, thank you for your generous support of the Archbishop Hunthausen Charity Golf Tournament.
