Attention all Homebound and Hospital Eucharistic Ministers Lately we have been having a problem. There are no pix in the tabernacle when someone needs to pick up some hosts. I have ordered more pix to help with this problem. In the meantime, I ask everyone to please return the pix to the tabernacle as soon as possible after you have finished using it. Thank you and God Bless! Deacon Karl Fr. Martin, staff of St. James, and parishioners, We would like to thank you from the bottom of our hearts for the kindness you have shown not only to Fr. Shayne, but to us as well. We don t think he could have received a better first assignment, you will always be in our prayers. Fr. Martin, we would like to thank you for welcoming us with open arms, and for being such a wonderful example, confidant, and friend to Fr Shayne. We are all blessed to have you in our lives. Yours truly, Randy, Kay and Heather Duvall Fathers do not exasperate your children; instead bring them up in the training and instruction of the Lord. Ephesians 6:4 The Importance of a Father St. Joseph was strong in the face of adversity and poverty of his time. He is a model of the virtues of prudence, humility, strength, and fortitude. Even though Joseph is silent in Scripture, his actions speak to us more clearly than recorded words. Just as Joseph resigned his own will to the will of God, so a good father walks the path as God sets it out for him. The greatest any father can give to his own children is lifelong fidelity to his Marriage Covenant. Children learn about love through a father s affection, prayer s, honor, self control, forgiveness and integrity. St. Joseph showed Jesus all the natural love, all the affectionate solicitude that a father s heart can know. St. John Paul II Prayer. Heavenly Father, we thank you for our Fathers. It is through our Father s prayers, patience, and hard work that we enjoy our present status in this life. Ed Cecil, Respect Life Committee
