Mission Intention for October: That the celebration of World Mission Day may help all Christians realize that we are not only receivers but proclaimers of God’s Word.

CATHOLIC SCOUT RETREAT: Whether or not they have completed one of the Religious Emblems this year, Catholic Boy and Girl Scouts are invited to the annual Scout Retreat at St. Agnes Church/School in Lake Placid on Saturday, October 19 with overnight optional.

CATHOLIC CALENDARS: Calendars for 2014 indicating the special holy days and saints of the Catholic Church are available for your home or workplace. This year they are on the theme of Christian stewardship.

BLOOD DONORS NEEDED: St. James Parish is hosting the North Country Regional Blood Center of the CVPH Medical Center to collect blood at St. James Parish Center on Monday, October 7 from 4:00 to 8:00 PM. You can donate whole blood every eight weeks. A single pint of blood could save up to four lives. Every time you give blood you are giving someone life: a child, mother, father, brother, sister, grandparents or even a friend.

CUB SCOUTS: Why the Cub Scouts? It’s fun with a purpose! Scouting teaches core values using outdoor experiences and fun activities as a tool to help your son develop leadership skills and help him grow to be the man you hope he will become. If you have a son or know of a boy in 1st through 5th grade, and think they could benefit from the values-based Scouting program, please, call or click today: 1-855-SCOUT-NY www.trcscouting.org
