Bless our endeavors this year, Lord. Provide for our needs and help us to use our prosperity for
Your glory and the benefit of others. Amen.

Children’s Liturgy of the Word
Every Sunday at the 9 AM Mass at St. James, we now offer the children’s liturgy of the word during which children from pre-K through about 5th grade participate in the first part of Mass and then go off for their own bible readings and activities. They rejoin the main assembly during the offertory and presentation of the gifts for the rest of Mass. Please bring your little ones who will enjoy this supervised, child-friendly experience of God’s Word!
