Events

 

From the Pastor:  As we celebrate the first Sunday of Lent just a reminder that the same gospel is used each first Sunday of Lent every year, the temptation of Jesus in the desert by the devil. 

 

On behalf of St. James Parish our sympathies go out to the family of Harold DeWenter who passed away on Ash Wednesday of this week.  Harold’s funeral mass was here at St. James this Saturday morning.  May he rest in peace. 

 

Our sympathies also go out to the family of Jim and Janet Willenbring whose new born baby, Isaac James, died shortly after birth at the St. Cloud Hospital on Ash Wednesday of this week.  He was baptized shortly after birth.  St. Isaac pray for us.
