Morning Drop Off If you are walking your student into school in the morning we would encourage you to consider the drop off lane. A bit of independence in the second part of the year is a good thing. And, it’s also safer with fewer folks walking among the vehicles. If you do walk your student in, crossing at the front of church is a good option.
Athletic Association The Athletic Association is seeking silent auction items for their February 4th fundraising event.

St. James Catholic Church will begin their new parish center project and are asking families to pray for the success of the project. The Growing in God’s Space prayer:
Heavenly Father, our hearts sing in praise of You.
All glory and honor to Christ Jesus,
Who has shown us the way to everlasting life.
O Lord, all that we have comes from You.
You have given us a home at St James
filled with faith and family.
Thank You for these many blessings.
Holy Spirit guide us in this journey.
Let us move together with open hearts.
Grant us the grace to follow in the footsteps of St. James.
Help us to work together
as we build Your kingdom here on earth.
Amen.
The Evangelium Institute is asking parents to consider taking a survey. The survey will better help the institute to provide more options and opportunities for those who seek to better understand their Catholic faith. https://surveyhero.com/c/4fkjyfu4?blm_aid=18172
