� The opening Liturgy for Catholic Schools Week

will be today at the 10am Mass. We welcome faculty, students

and parents to this important liturgical celebration.� The students

will have an important role to play in the Mass.� This week there

will be special events each day at CAA; many of these are listed

in today’s bulletin.� Please join us.� Augustinian Academy is im-

portant for the life of St. James for many reasons, but primarily

because the school presents our young people not only with a

quality education, but one in the context of our Catholic

Faith.� There is no greater gift we can give to our young people

than our Catholic Faith and that is handed on to them in a unique

fashion in a Catholic School.��

�

Don’t forget that the Parent Meeting for First Eucharist will be

Monday eve at 7pm in the Community Room.� This is� a manda-

tory meeting for Parents who plan to celebrate First Communion

with their children on May 3.�

�

The newly formed Family Life/ Vocations Committee met recent-

ly �and made some important strides in both strengthening family

life in our parishes as well as promoting Vocation awareness.

Starting this weekend, we would like to include more families

and individuals in the Offertory Procession at St. James.� There is

a sign�up form at the Prayer Intention Book at the entrance of the

church and if the Mass is not already scheduled for someone, you

can sign up to bring up the gifts.� The Offertory gifts at St. James

are in the middle of the church on a� small table. There is a pew

designated for those who are to bring up the gifts.� Please consid-

er volunteering for this important part of the Mass � bringing

forth the gifts to be consecrated during the Eucharistic Pray-

er. �Also, at the meeting it was decided to have Coffee and Do-

nuts once a month in the Community Room.� There is only one

Sunday per month when the Room is not being used. Starting

Sunday, February 16, we will have Coffee and Donuts down-

stairs.� Hopefully, this will help build community in the parish

and allow us to get to know our neighbors in faith.� Please plan on

joining us, after the 10am Mass.�

�

You have probably noticed the new sign I just put on the front of

the Reconciliation Room:� “What happens in Vegas is Forgiven

Here!”�
