We will honor those who have died since November 2024 with a special insert in the bulletin that weekend. We will include those who had funeral Masses and memorials here at Saint James as well as the names that were submitted to us the past couple of weeks.

Nine Day Novena for All Souls

Saint James will pray a daily Novena for nine days for all souls starting at the Noon Mass on Sunday, November 2nd, through November 10th. During the nine days, November 2-10, the Novena will be held at the noon Mass except on Saturday, November 8th, when it will be at the 8:30am Mass.

Prayer Box for the Nine Day Novena

There will be a prayer box in the main and Park Avenue vestibules starting the weekend of October 18-19 through Friday, October 31st.

The remembrance envelopes will be beside the prayer boxes to list the names of your deceased loved ones for our Novena. Fill out and place the envelope in one of the prayer boxes to have prayers offered for your loved ones.
