CATHOLIC RELIEF SERVICES:
Next weekend our parish will take up the Works of the Holy
Father/Catholic Relief Services Collection.
This collection makes possible the mission of the Catholic Church in
America to combat poverty, provide relief and development, assist refugees and
immigrants , and advocate for justice and peace in situations of conflict and
neglect of basic human rights throughout the world. Thank you for your generous support.
MARRIAGE TIP: Resist the urge to buy something new this week. Have each
person in the family pick one possession to give away during Lent. Consider
gently-used toys, books, or hand-me-downs that need to find a new homeFind more
Marriage Rx at www.foryourmarriage.org.
NORTH COUNTRY CATHOLIC: We are continuing the North
Country Catholic subscription campaign. Please place your subscription
envelope in the collection basket or mail a check for $27 to the North Country
Catholic, PO Box 106, Canajoharie, NY, 13317.
ANOTHER OPTION – “go green” and receive your NCC through email. If interested, write your email address on the
envelope .
HOSPITAL VISITATIONS: Be sure to tell the Health Care Access
Associate during the registration process not only that you are Catholic but
also from St. James Parish. Very frequently Father Deno travels to CVPH to
visit parishioners. Very frequently no one is listed as a member of St. James Parish.
Because of confidentiality laws he has access only to those who have registered
as a member of St. James Parish.
FORTY DAYS FOR LIFE: During Lent the
Plattsburgh community-based campaign of 40 Days for Life invites you to join
them in promoting pro-life activities by praying peacefully during the
40 day vigil in the public riight-of-way outside Planned Parenthood, 66
Brinkeroff Street, Plattsburgh, Information is available
on their web site: 40daysforlife.com/Plattsburgh,
or contacting Nancy Monette at 561-8225.
GLUTEN FREE HOSTS: If you are in need of a gluten free host, simply inform
Fr. Deno before Mass, and he will make sure there is one available for you at
Communion.
CATHOLIC SCHOOL EDUCATION:
Those who wish to register for Catholic Schools next Fall can do so by
phoning:
∙ Seton
Academy, PK-6, Plattsburgh: 563-6330
∙ Seton
Catholic Central School, Plattsburgh: 561-4031
BRING SOMEONE TO CHURCH: It has been shown that many persons would return to the
practice of their faith if someone would invite them to return. And,
surprisingly, this is especially true if the one asking was at one time one of
those who had left the practice of their Catholic faith. What greater time is
there than to bring someone back to church during these days of Lent and the
coming days of Palm Sunday and Holy Week.
