As you are likely aware, some major changes were announced within the Archdiocese of Hartford this past weekend. For many, these changes are devastating as many beloved Parishes have been slated to merge or close, and many Priests are being reassigned to different Parishes.
For the Saint James Community, the changes are as follows: On June 29th, Assumption Church will be merged with Saint James Church. Father Cavanaugh will remain as Pastor and Father Carlson and Father Burns will remain here to assist him. Father Jack Pahl, Pastor of Assumption Church, will join them in their duties at both Assumption and Saint James. Later, upon the retirement of Father Pahl, Assumption Church will be closed.
This will be a difficult transition for many and we extend our support and prayers to our SJS families who are impacted by the changes.
As a reminder for those who RSVP’d, the SJS sports banquet is this evening beginning at 5:15pm at ECHS.
For families that requested an Extended Day Registration form for the 2017-2018 school year, please stop by and grab the paperwork from Ms. Jean today at pick-up.
