Dress Down Tomorrow

A quick reminder for parents that were not already aware, when Archbishop Coyne was with us on Monday, he awarded a dress down day to the entire school for this Friday, April 26th.  Please keep in mind that standard dress down guidelines per page 11 of the handbook apply (i.e. no ripped jeans, no sleeveless shirts, no crop tops, leggings must be paired with a long shirt/sweatshirt, etc.):  2023-2024 Parent Student Handbook

Event Coordinator Needed

We are still looking for a parent volunteer to host a fun social event for the boys in our school community (since we have volunteers hosting a mother/daughter tea and the father/daughter dance for the girls).  In the past, parent volunteers have run a father/son event and a mother/son event, but it would be up to the host to determine the nature of the day.  If you would be interested in potentially volunteering to host this type of activity, please reach out to Patricia McCarthy (our HSA President) at HSA@SaintJamesSchool.net and she will give more details.  Thank you!

Archbishop Coyne Visits Manchester

Yesterday, Saint James School (and our sister school Saint Bridget) were thrilled to celebrate Mass with Coadjutor Archbishop Christopher J. Coyne, who will succeed Archbishop Blair upon his retirement later this year.  With K-8 students from both of our Manchester Catholic elementary and middle schools in attendance, we filled every pew in St. James Church!  It was quite moving to hear so many youthful voices singing and praying together! After Mass, Archbishop Coyne visited the campuses of both Saint James School…
