Upcoming Events and Activities
Stewardship Reflection:
“Has none but this foreigner returned to give thanks to God?” Luke 17:18
Most of us live
“easy” lives. We
have food, shelter and
clothing. We go on
vacation every year
and own a car or
two. Most of us take this all for
granted. Did you ever notice that people with
the least amount of possessions are usually
the most grateful? Shouldn’t this be the other
way around? Take time every day and thank
God for all He has given you.
*New* Adoration will begin
October 31st. Times are Monday-
Friday: 6am-9am and 5pm-7pm. Please sign up for a time (45 minutes minimum). Two people are required to be in the chapel at all times. Sign-up sheet is located in the chapel.
*New* Saturday Evening Mass to
begin March 2017. More details to follow in
future bulletins.
Join us every week in the
CHAPEL at St. James
a half hour before 11:00 AM
Sunday Mass & a half hour be-
fore Mass the rest of the week.
Let us welcome, into our parish community, all the children who have received the Sacrament of Baptism today.
• Avah David • Tyler Kurz • James Kurz • Beckett Fish • Byron Nielson
GOD BLESS YOU & CONGRATULATIONS!

This year, World Mission Sunday will take place on October 23.
This is a worldwide collection for the missionary Church that provides
emergency aid when disaster strikes, cares for refugees in war torn coun-
tries, and provides rural and health clinics and transportation for priests,
catechists, religious and lay pastoral workers. It provides financial sup-
port for the daily needs of all missionaries. Please pray for the missions
and be generous on World Mission Sunday.
