Notes from the Pastor
** I would like to remind all of you that we have two
weeks to complete our donations to St. James. “God
loves a generous giver”. Presently our donations are just
keeping up with our expenses. I ask that you continue
to be generous as God has been generous with you.
Remember: “Don’t think of the things you didn’t get after
PRAYING; think of the countless blessings God GAVE
YOU without asking.”
** I would also like to take this opportunity to encourage
those who have not pledged to the Archbishop’s Appeal
to please do so. Many ministries in our Archdiocese
depend on our financial help. To date we are about
$9, 764.00 dollars short of our goal (the Archdiocese has
collected from St. James $22,502 from our goal of
$32,266). I appreciate all you have done in the past as
well as the present. We have until December 31, 2013
to complete our pledges.
On behalf of Fr. Dennis, Fr. Greg, Sr. Cal, Dr. Cummins, and the Parish Staff, we wish you all a very Merry Christmas and a most blessed New Year.
Thank you for your continued support and prayers.
Thank you for your continued support & generosity.
