A Report from the First Shared Meal with Tent City 3
Weekly meals with the Tent City 3 residents have begun, and ministry leader Chris Rigos sends the following report:
"On June 19 the Cathedral prepared and shared a fine dinner meal with our guests in Tent City 3. Our able chefs Maris Olsen and Deborah Person served sloppy joes, fruit salad, coleslaw, and ice cream to 24 guests. Our volunteers Sandy Piscatello, Kathy Albert, and Ashley Hedeen helped with set up, serving, and clean up, and then sat down to eat with our guests. Reports from our guests were positive, and they are invited back this Sunday night for a barbeque! Dinners will continue for the next ten weeks with volunteer cooks and servers."
Check out some photos below!

For any questions, please contact Chris Rigos at [email protected] or Maris Olsen at [email protected]. We will soon be opening registration for the last weeks of the summer. They are especially eager for volunteer cooks, who might work in pairs and with plenty of support and instruction. Thank you for your support!

The Mission to Seafarers is Moving to Harbor Island—Come to Their Yard Sale!
SUNDAY, JULY 17, and TUESDAY, JULY 19, at the Searfarers' Center on West Marginal Way
Later this summer, the Mission to Seafarers, a service organization with longstanding ties to Saint Mark's Cathedral, will move into new space on Harbor Island. Because the new space is substantially smaller than its current space, the Mission has an opportunity to give away several items from the existing space. (Some of the items seeking a new home include BBQ grills, garden tools, a pool table, and an upright piano!) To help all those items find a new home, the staff invite you to a "yard sale fundraiser" on Sunday, July 17 (1–4 p.m.) and Tuesday, July 19 (3–6 p.m.). The Mission is currently located at 3568 W Marginal Way SW on the west bank of the Duwamish River and just north of the Spokane Street and West Seattle bridges. See our Facebook page for more details: facebook.com/SeattleSeafarers
Come by on either day to check out our available items. Donations are encouraged! Questions? Email: [email protected]

Pilgrimage to the Holy Land, Lent 2023
MARCH 3–13, 2023
Co-leaders: The Very Rev. Steven L. Thomason and the Rev. Katherine Sedwick
You are invited to join Dean Thomason and The Rev. Katherine Sedwick, rector of St. Michael and All Angels Church, Issaquah, as they co-lead a Lenten pilgrimage. There is space for 30 pilgrims who will stay seaside in Galilee, in Bethlehem, and within the walls of the Old City of Jerusalem. The shape of this 11-day trip is contemplative and communal, drawing on the ancient wisdom of generations of Christians who have held the rhythms of worship, prayer, and life in community in this Holy Land. We also will engage people who call this special place home while exploring the realities of the Palestinian/Israeli conflict. For more information, click here or contact Dean Thomason. Limited scholarship assistance is available.
