St. James Roman Catholic Church

Drive-up adoration will be available at the St. James Rectory starting Sunday, March 29, 2020.

So anytime you want to 'Say 'Hi!' to Jesus'  you can do so 7 days a week during daylight hours. (NOTE: The only time that Drive-up Adoration will not be available is during the times of Drive-thru confession.)

The 2 pictures below will show you where you can visit with the Lord:

Bishop Frank Caggiano has just issued a new document titled 'Coronavirus Update FAQ (Spiritual Assistance).

My dear friends at St. James Parish,
Bishop Frank has just issued some additional guidelines for the Anointing of the Sick and the Sacrament of Reconciliation.
Based on these new guidelines, we will have confessions at the normal time this Saturday from 12:15 to 1:30 PM in the church. I will have chairs set up in the front of the church which will give penitent’s the option of confessing anonymously or face-to-face while maintaining a distance of 6 feet between penitent and Priest. I ask those coming to confession to please sit in the back of the church while waiting and to spread out at least 6 feet apart.
Also, we will have a period of Eucharistic Adoration on Sunday in the Church but attendance will be monitored to make sure the number of adorers present is less than 50 persons at any one time. Only the ramp entrance to the church will be available so I can monitor the number. I will post the hours on our parish website tomorrow. I am thinking of noon to 2pm.
Because of my age, I have been asked to refrain from providing the Sacrament of Anointing of the Sick or visiting the sick or Homebound until the crisis is clearly over.
Keep your faith and hope in Jesus Christ alive. Please consider doing works of charity like checking in on your elderly neighbors.
Please pray like you’ve never prayed before for an end to this pandemic crisis. If you did not pick up a prayer card in church this past weekend, I posted a prayer for the coronavirus on our website.
Please stay safe and well and wash your hands often. I am praying for all of you and your families.

God Bless you and Praise Be To Jesus Christ!

Your servant in Christ,
Fr. Peter J. Adamski
Pastor
