Varsity Girls Championship Game Tonight

The Saint James Girls Varsity Basketball team will play St. Mary’s tonight in the Deanery Championship game tonight at Corpus Christi in Wethersfield at 6:00pm.  Everyone is welcome to come cheer on our Sabers!

In related news, our JV Boys lost a hard fought deanery championship game to St. Mary’s JV boys last night at Northwest Catholic. It was a back and forth game and our boys erased deficits to take the lead multiple times throughout the game. The boys ultimately fell short by 3 points but they had a great run to the championship game and they are now on to compete in the State tournament.

Please Join Us! SJS Children’s Mass This Sunday

This Sunday, March 8th at 9:00am, Saint James School will host our monthly Children’s Mass with SJS students serving as readers, ushers, and gift bearers.  Our school choir will also be performing and Coffee, Juice & Donuts will be served in the church hall (downstairs) immediately following Mass.

All Saint James School students and their parents are strongly encouraged to attend in a show of support for our school!

Saint James School students are encouraged to wear their school uniforms (all students serving in any capacity must wear their SJS uniform).  This is a great way for the Saint James Church parishioners (many of whom very generously support our school) to see the exceptional students they are investing in.

All Saint James School families are welcome regardless of faith or home church.
