Thank you to everyone who responded to our request a few weeks ago for students in Grades 3 – 8 to participate in Sunday Mass at St. James Church. This is a great chance for our church parishioners – many of whom very generously support our school – to see the some of the wonderful students they are investing in.
We have our student readers all scheduled, but are still in need of Gift Bearers & Greeters for many of the masses. Please take a look at the dates below and let us know if your child is able to help out in either capacity (you do not need to be a parishioner at St. James Church to have your child help/attend).
All Children’s Masses are at 9:00 am the 2nd Sunday of each month through June and are listed below:
September 10, 2017
October 8, 2017
November 12, 2017
December 10, 2017
January 14, 2018
February 11, 2018
March 11, 2017
April 8, 2018
May 13, 2018
June 10, 2018
If you are interested, please send an email to Cindy Herr at cndherr@cox.net listing the parent’s name, student’s name, participation preference, and Mass dates that you are available to attend.
Thank you for your consideration!
