This summer, kids will venture onto an uncharted tropical island for a week of surprising adventures, incredible music, tropical treats, amazing experiments, creative games, and new friends. Fun & Faith is held at St. James Parish and is open to children ages 4½ to 11 (or entering 5th grade) The cost per child is $20 until June 18. Registration papers were distributed to all students before RE classes ended. In order to run a successful program, we need middle school, high school and adult volunteers. No experience necessary!

ARE YOU THINKING ABOUT CATHOLICISM?

There are many reasons why people choose to become Catholic. Some are married to a Catholic and are ready to explore this faith further. Some may have attended a Catholic funeral and were moved by that experience. Perhaps some admire a person who is Catholic, and they would like to explore Catholicism too. If you are curious about the Catholic faith, we are offering the R.C.I.A. (Rite of Christian Initiation of Adults) process again this fall. If you are interested in exploring Catholicism, or have questions about it, please call the parish office.
