The Catholic Community of Northern Columbia County

    "The value of persistent prayer is not that God will hear us, but that we will finally hear God."

Family Faith Formation began on Sunday, October 2 at St. John the Baptist with the 5 pm Mass.   After Mass, families gathered for a meal and formation based on this year’s theme of PRAYER.

On Sunday, October 16, we welcome those families who chose the morning option to join us at St. James in Chatham for the 9:15 am Mass, community building, and formation.

Our first opportunity for family service is at the end of October and the beginning of November when we meet to rake leaves and prepare our cemeteries for winter.  Families who helped in other years know that our work is an outward sign of our respect for those laid to rest in each cemetery, and is appreciated by their family and friends.
