MARRIAGE TIP: Your
family is a community. This means that when one person changes a behavior – for
good or for ill – it impacts everyone. If you smile, do a favor, give a
compliment, it lifts everyone’s spirit. If you complain or nag, it pulls your
beloved down too Find more Marriage Rx at www.foryourmarriage.org.
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.

160 YEARS OLD! St. James Parish will soon become 160 years
old! Founded in 1854 by foreign born Irish, it has provided spiritual benefits
in this part of the Saranac River Valley to Irish and to all who have
participated in the parish.To honor this outstanding event the parish is
hosting a special memorial concert by the Beartracks, a musical group whose
members have been parishioners of St. James for most of these years. A 10 year
update of the parish history written by Elaine Rice will be available. The
concert in St. James Church on Sunday, July 27th at 2:00 PM will be
followed by a reception at the Parish Center.

brief ceremony at the Monument of the Unborn on the grounds of the

of marriage, and the freedom to witness our Catholic values in our daily
lives. All are welcome to attend. A reception will follow.
