Join us for Family Adoration and Confession Wednesday evening from 6:30 - 7:30 PM in church. Includes scripture reading, music, singing, and activities for children to help enhance their time with the Blessed Sacrament.
As we gather together at Christmas Mass. You might have many reasons that you are attending today:
Some of you are at Mass because your family wants you to be here, and you thought that going to Church once or twice a year to make them happy is worth it. I get that, and I’m really glad you’re here.
Why does Jesus have to be baptized? Did he sin or need to repent? No. He was baptized to fulfill all righteousness. In his life, the entire story of the Bible is fulfilled. So, he is baptized. Then, while he is praying, the Holy Spirit descends upon him. This is how he started his public ministry.
Jesus was born into the world so that we could become His disciples, and through Him, we
become sons and daughters of our heavenly Father. By His grace, we are equipped by the Holy
Spirit to continue His mission in the world, sharing the Good News and living as witnesses to
His love
Please read Fr. Pastorius's letter about how Epiphany of Our Lord and St. James the Greater Parishes will be focusing on becoming places of "Unceasing Prayer" throughout the liturgical year 2025
If you are like me, it is easy to forget how “God provides” if you are too focused on others’ blessings. We live in a culture that incessantly prompts us to want more and more of what others have – and INSTANTLY! Temptations are thrown in our path relentlessly and we are provided many opportunities to lose perspective...
As we move into the local, regional and national election season, I expect all of our parishioners to conduct ourselves in a Christ-like manner. This is true for in-person conversations, but also those that happen online.
Our parishes are blessed to be served by three permanent deacons that assist Fr. Tom, the pastor, and the Parish Leadership Team with a variety of activities and ministry work.
In September we celebrate our parishes’ multifaceted connections to the Vincentian charism, with a culmination on the Feast of St. Vincent de Paul (September 27). We are inspired by the mission of St. Vincent de Paul and St. Louise de Merillac in our care for our neighbors in need.
Church invites us to pray a special novena for mental health awareness.
People may pray this novena at any time, it is suggested that we make an effort to pray it beginning October 9th and finishing the novena on October 18th. October 18th is the feast day of St. Luke and he is the patron saine of healthcare workers.
All of us have places within our hearts and our histories that are hurting. Some of us have experienced tragedy beyond our comprehension. Some of us minimize our wounds without any care, and end up hurting ourselves further.
