Reminder: Welcoming Archbishop Coyne to Manchester

Saint James School is excited to welcome The Most Reverend Archbishop Christopher J. Coyne to the town of Manchester on Monday, April 22nd.  During his visit, Archbishop Coyne will tour both of our parish schools – Saint James and our sister school, Saint Bridget.  Additionally, the Archbishop will celebrate a Mass at St. James Church with K – 8 students from both Saint James School and Saint Bridget School. (Please note, due to the capacity of the church and the number of students/staff that comprise our two parish schools, this Mass will NOT be open for parents, parishioners, etc. to attend).

As you may recall, Archbishop Coyne was appointed Coadjutor Archbishop of the Archdiocese of Hartford in June 2023 and will succeed Archbishop Blair upon his retirement this year.

We are excited to share our school and parish community with Archbishop Coyne!

Please note:  All students must be in their regular uniform Monday (no gym uniforms).
