He is Risen! Easter is not just a Holiday, It is a Season. For Catholics, it is a way of life! NEW WEBSITE FOR ST. JAMES AND ST. JOSEPH We are excited to announce that a new website for St. James Church has just launched. This new site has features that the old Circle of Faith website was not capable of – most notably that it is user friendly on mobile devices like tablets or cell phones. It is a shared site with St. Joseph’s Church in Kellnersville. The homepage features photos scrolling across the top, and easy links for livestreaming, bulletins, contacting us, and Mass times. Then, when you enter St. James’ pages, you’ll find new and specific information for all things St. James. Check out www.stjamesandstjoseph.org
2021 BISHOP’S APPEAL BISHOP’S APPEAL PROGRESS The 2021 Bishop's Appeal continues to grow with gifts from our Circle of Faith parishioners. There have been 359 donors thus far, contributing a total of $75,520 that will be used to reach out to thousands of people across northeastern Wisconsin. Giving a gift to the Bishop’s Appeal during the six weeks of this Easter Season would be a wonderful way to continue to follow in the footsteps of our risen Christ. If you have not yet made your gift to the Bishop’s Appeal, please consider the joy you could bring to the lives of others now and throughout the year. The average gift to the Bishop’s Appeal in 2020 was $214.00. Through prayerful consideration, we encourage everyone to consider what they can contribute this year.We count on you for your support again this year. To make a gift to the Bishop’s Appeal contact your parish, visit the Bishop’s Appeal website at www.catholicfoundationgb.org/give, or call Tammy toll-free at 877-500-3580 ext. 8123
MASS OBLIGATION LIFFTED
On Monday, October 5, Bishop Ricken reinstated the dispensation from the obligation to attend Sunday Mass in the diocese until further notice. Even with the reinstatement, we will continue to celebrate Mass publicly every weekend and weekday as scheduled for those who are able to attend and willing to strictly follow the proper health protocols. During this time of increased infection, our parishes will be even more vigilant in observing the health protocols shared in the diocesan guidelines to prevent the spread of disease and allow as many people as is safe to come to Mass without fear of infection. The wearing of masks is mandatory at Masses celebrated throughout our diocese. Thank you for your support and compliance as we as a community of faith come together to worship in safety.
UNIVERSAL ONLINE CHURCH SUPPORT
A new, easy and safe way to contribute to any Circle of Faith Parish is now an option with a credit card. The Green Bay Diocese through its Catholic Foundation has made this method available. You can give a one-time donation or recurring payments. When you visit the secured giving page www.catholicfoundationgb.org/donate all you have to do is enter your information, parish name, and gift amount. Any credit card or debit card will be accepted. It's so easy! The Catholic Foundation will mail the parish a check each week for the full amount—without any fee to you or the parish. Now, more than ever, we are grateful for your support!
