Catholic Schools Week Kick-Off
We had a wonderful prayer service this morning to kick off Catholic School’s week! Thank you to all the students for a beautiful reminder of why Saint James School is so special!!
And, our 7th grade – under the guidance of Ms. O – put on a hilarious skit to help us “honor” our wonderful staff and teachers (see picture below). We hope to have a copy available to share with our 7th grade parents shortly.

7th Graders Assist With TV Mass
Saint James School 7th Grade Students recently joined Father Carlson at the Archdiocese of Hartford’s TV studio in Prospect, Connecticut as he Celebrated Mass for broadcast this Sunday (1/28). The Mass will air at 10:00am on WCCT-TV (typically channel 9 or 11 on most cable systems), should you wish to watch, and will be aired throughout Connecticut as well as in parts of Massachusetts, New York, and Rhode Island. It will also be played on the Archdiocese’s radio station, WJMJ, at noon on Sunday.
Saint James 7th graders served as the readers and alter servers as well as singing in the choir and serving as the in-studio audience. This unique experience also provided students an opportunity to see how a television studio operates “behind the scenes.”
Special thanks to Father Carlson, Assistant Principal Mrs. Anderson, and the 7th grade teachers for helping make this fun experience possible for our students!
