Good morning St. James Parish Family!
Mark your calendars! Sunday, October 2nd at 9:30 am we will be celebrating the Feast of St. Francis and honoring our Parish Pets! We invite all of our parish youth to attend!
As we celebrate the Feast of St. Francis, we are asking that all of our youth come to mass with two items:
- A picture or pictures of your pet(s). If you do not have a pet, bring a picture of your favorite animal! You can be in the picture too! These photos can be printed on photo paper or plain copy paper. Please limit the size of your photos to 5 x 7. (Note- photos will not be returned)
- A bag of pet treats or pet food or a pet toy that we will donate to an animal shelter.
Before mass, we will collect your photos and food/toy donations in the Narthex. When mass begins, we will process into the church with them and leave them by St. Francis where Father Ed will offer a special pet blessing!
If your child is in 7th grade or older and would like to read/lector during this mass please let me know! (Reading provided in advance).
We look forward to celebrating with you on Sunday, October 2nd at 9:30 am!
Blessings!
