Community Services Spotlight: All Saints Backpack Program
As you may know, All Saints has been helping area schools with weekend food for students in need for the past several years. We just partnered with Walker High School to help them start and stock a food pantry on site.

Thank you!
This month we received the following thank you from one of the families we helped with rent assistance:
"I cannot express our gratitude enough to All Saints for all of the help you have given me personally and now my new family. My life has been very hard. I have been basically homeless since 2004 except a few times I have had a roof over my head. My family abandoned me at 15 years old because of my mental and developmental disabilities and gave everything to my half brother. I'm blessed to have found such a wonderful wife that was going through a similar situation in her life but rebuilding is HARD to do for us.
Thank you again, all of you wonderful ladies and gentlemen down there. If the church ever needs help don't hesitate to let us know! God bless."
Your Support is Needed
Don't forget your blue envelopes on the Second Sunday of each month. Donations made to All Saints Community Services support our food programs as well as rent, utility, and transportation assistance for our community. You can also donate through our website. Thank you!

No Greater Love Movie

Twenty-five years have passed since the death of Mother Teresa of Calcutta , sparking a renewed interest in this spiritual giant of the 20th century. Filmed on 5 continents and featuring unprecedented access to both institutional archives and the apostolates of the Missionaries of Charity, this film reveals not just who Mother Teresa was, but how her singular vision to serve Christ in the poor continues to be realized through the Missionaries of Charity today. This is far more than a documentary. It is at once a soaring tribute to a spiritual icon, a powerful witness of authentic Christian charity, and a guidepost for all who seek hope in our turbulent times.

Family Service Day
Walk with those on a Journey of Faith
Journey of Faith (RCIA or OCIA) is an opportunity for adults and families to learn about the Catholic faith and prepare to receive the sacraments of initiation. In this process, it is you, the assembly of faithful, who help form them by offering relationship, prayer, and support.
Join us for breakfast! Sign up here.
Sponsor
Walk with an adult, child, or teen being baptized and confirmed in the faith.
Break Open the Word
Serve as a dismissal leader to help break open the Word.
Look for the giving tree in the church later in October for an opportunity to pray for our candidates and catechumens and help them connect to the Word of God.
Share
Share your story of faith. How has God acted in your life?
For more information about any of these opportunities, contact Morningstar in the parish office.

Welcoming a Ukrainian Family
St. James Cathedral in Seattle is sponsoring a Ukrainian family of six through the Uniting For Ukraine program, and they will be arriving in Seattle very soon! If you would like to help welcome this family, here is a wish list of items we still need for their apartment and we’d greatly appreciate gift cards for groceries, clothing and other household shopping. For more information, contact Erica de Klerk at edeklerk@stjames-cathedral.org or 206-382-4511.
