As the nation prepares to celebrate the birthday of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., people from across the Archdiocese of Seattle will gather on Saturday, January 19th, 11:00am at St. James Cathedral to honor him.
Archbishop Sartain will celebrate a Mass in Thanksgiving for the life of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., and in celebration of the presence of African and African American Catholics in the Archdiocese of Seattle. My sister, Valerie and I have been going to this Mass for a couple of years now, and it's an inspiring celebration.

This year, I was invited to proclaim a prayer of the faithful in Tagalog (each prayer will be proclaimed in a different language), and Valerie will be one of the candle bearers! We're very excited and honored that each of us are able to have a liturgical role in this year's celebration.
Here are pictures from last year's Mass, courtesy of St. James Cathedral website. Featured towards the bottom of the site is a fun video clip as well.
All are welcome to join in this
celebration! Hope to see you there!
