How do I submit a prayer to be included in the Prayer of the Faithful/General Intercessions at Mass?
Write out your General Interecession and place it in an envelope with the name "Cindy" on the outside. Drop it in the collection basket when you come to Mass. Prayers will be included at Mass as soon as reasonably possible. If you have any questions, contact Cindy at 529-8655 or csobiesiak@stjamesrh.org.
Please note - Prayers of the Faithful/General Intercessions can only be used if they are general, and may be rewritten to fulfill this requirement. Please click here for more information about submitting Prayers of the Faithful.
If you yourself are sick and would like us to pray for you by name, please speak with our deacon or our pastoral associate.
