St. James Parishioners shared the blessings of Thanksgiving with those in need by bringing non-perishable food items to Mass which were donated to Una Vida, a local Petaluma food pantry. Monetary donations were collected for our St. Vincent de Paul Society. It was a joy-filled celebration!

The St. James 5th Grade ERE students were the leaders for our Family Mass today, where we celebrated the Commemoration of All the Faithful Departed. They served as readers and brought up the Offertory gifts. Many ERE students brought photos of loved ones which were displayed in front of the altar. Our Children’s Choir led the congregation in song and many students contributed to the special “Children’s Collection.” It is wonderful to witness these children and their families as they share their love of God. The next Family Mass will be Sunday, December 7th at 9:00 AM. All are welcome!
