Cathedral Day 2017 is coming up on May 13 where we’ll celebrate “Building the Community of the Diocese of Olympia!”
Cathedral Day is a time for fun, fellowship, and an opportunity to see Saint Mark’s Cathedral in a new and unique light. Plus, there’s something for everyone – no matter your age!
The Youth Summit will start their games in Bloedel – plus participate at the crowd at Stump the Bishop!
Parking will be limited due to construction scaffolding. Consider carpooling, renting a van, or taking public transportation – Saint Mark’s Cathedral is a 15-20 minute walk from the Capitol Hill light rail station. King County Metro Route #49 stops directly in front of the Cathedral.
