CARE FOR CREATION NEWS Today, we begin Laudato Si’ Week. We are called to be Seeds of Hope for the world, rooted in faith and love. This week invites us to come together as a community to contemplate and nurture seeds of hope for our “suffering planet” (Laudate Deum 2). Pope Francis reminds us of the urgency and the need for personal and cultural transformation in the midst of our ecological and climate crises. The St. James Care for Creation team strives to make a difference and contribute to building a more sustainable future. Information, Patrick Barredo, 206-382-4515 or pbarredo@stjames-cathedral.org.

 

HOUSING ADVOCACY The St. James Housing Advocacy Committee is committed to ending homelessness by raising awareness and assisting others to become involved. We do this because we believe in the inherent dignity of every person. Recently, the St. James group has combined efforts with their counterparts at St. Joseph Church on Capitol Hill. Upcoming plans include a novena to pray for housing equity and exploring how the upcoming elections will transform our region. All are welcome to our next meeting, on May 21. Information, Patrick Barredo, 206-382-4515 or pbarredo@stjames-cathedral.org. 

 

TOILETRY DONATIONS If you are traveling and staying at a hotel, consider bringing the small toiletries back to St. James so they can be distributed to those in need. Donations can be dropped off at the Cathedral Bookstore. Especially needed at the moment is sun tan lotion. Thank you!

 

WELCOME BACKPACKS Did you know that know that individuals seeking asylum in the United States must wait 150 days after filing their asylum application before they can request employment authorization (a work permit)? Add in the time it takes to find legal assistance to prepare the asylum application – asylum seekers are often waiting a very long period before they can move forward in establishing themselves in a new community. The St. James Respite Team connects newcomers to legal and other community resources, while offering small forms of direct assistance. A couple recently came to St. James and were assessed for our ESL tutoring program. Their children remain with relatives in Latin America; legal assistance is imperative to their need to financially support now, and eventually reunite with, their children. In addition to sharing legal resources, the Respite Team connected the mother to a free eye clinic for an exam and glasses, and walked them to St. Francis House to select free clothing and household items. The couple was incredibly grateful for the gift cards shared by the Respite Team so that they could purchase groceries and other essential items. Thank you for helping us extend a warm welcome to our new neighbors! As Welcome Backpack supplies are low, please consider purchasing gift cards or items from our Target registry: https://www.target.com/gift-registry/gift/sjia-welcome-backpacks. Information, Erica de Klerk, edeklerk@stjames-cathedral.org or 206-382-4511.
