WORD OF LIFE

"The Lord says to us, ‘Do not fear: I am with you’ (Isaiah 41:10). He speaks words not as one who merely observes our pain, but as one who experienced immense suffering. And the very wounds that bear witness to his suffering indicate the essence of our identity and worth: we are loved by God. Reflecting on the healed wounds of the Risen Christ, we see that even our most difficult trials can be the place where God manifests his victory. He makes all things beautiful. He makes all things new.”

May our example give witness to the precious gift of human life and our responsibility to protect it until its natural end; We pray to the Lord.

A BRAND NEW ROOF ON THE PAVILION!!

Just in case you haven’t noticed, we have a new roof on our pavilion!! St. James Knights paid for all of the repairs. It looks great and will now last a whole lot longer!!

We’d like to send a huge parish THANK YOU to our Knights for making this happen.

Picnic NEWS

There was so great of a response for volunteers last year! Everyone had so much fun working together and enjoying the friendship. If you have never volunteered before this is the year to try!! We have a spot for you. There is always room in the kitchen for small jobs or big. If you want to help at the tables there are many spots open. The help lists are many, please consider joining the fun.

The bottles are never too small to bring by and place in the back of church for the big hit-Bottle Game!!

The silent auction can make room for one or two creative or just useful donations. Gift card trees or a homemade dinner are quick to go.

Our next Picnic mtg is scheduled for June 26th @ 6:00 pm in the Parish Hall. We strongly encourage our parish family to come to the next mtg and get involve. Lets make this year’s picnic as good if not better than last year
