Can you spare some time on a Friday afternoon or Saturday morning? Are you able to come to the church to place inserts in the weekly bulletin? Depending on the number of people available, the work can be done in practically no time, but can have a great impact on parishioners who read the information distributed through these flyers. For information about this unique ministry or to add your name and phone number to the list of parishioners we may call when the bulletins need stuffing, contact Betty at 529-8655 ext. 10 or office@stjamesrh.org.

For centuries, Christians have gathered to celebrate the Liturgy of the Hours, a service of songs, prayers, psalms, and scripture that is spread out over the course of the entire day. Although not every Catholic prays every hour every day, the Church as a whole celebrates this liturgy constantly across the globe. If you would like to take part in this ancient tradition of the Church, come to the chapel on Monday or Wednesday at 6:30 PM for Evening Prayer, which lasts about 20 minutes. For more information, contact the Parish Office at 529-8655. (Please note, Evening Prayer is sometimes canceled for lack of attendance. If you would like to check in advance whether or not it will be held on the day you plan to attend, please contact Cindy at csobiesiak@stjamesrh.org.)
