Pastoral Care to the Sick and Homebound Your Help is Needed!
Is the Holy Spirit calling you to bring Christ to those unable to attend Mass?
Our Ministry Team goes into homes, group homes, and Honor Health Hospital 7 days a week. We consist of volunteer Eucha-ristic Ministers from Sts. James, Luke and Thomas More parishes.
However, many of us are elderly, have health problems, don't drive, and need YOU to come share this most precious gift from God-the opportunity to take His Only Son to those people who cannot come to Him!
Training is provided—only a tender, compassionate heart and love of Christ and His fellow followers are pre-requisites. Please consider this request for help! Call Joan Bogart @ 602-993-9596 for information.

Benefit
We all heard of some of the financial challenges our Parish faced last fiscal year. One of the ways YOU could increase your sup-port of the parish is through the Scrip and Benefit gift card programs. Your planned purchases can be an extra bonus for St James. Whether it’s iTunes gift cards for teens, Home Depot for dads or gifts of dinner out, plan on purchasing your gift cards from St James and the Parish will gain monies at no extra cost to you. Shopping at Walmart or Toys R Us for gifts? The Benefit App will allow you to almost instantaneously to buy an e gift card on your smart phone for many retailers to pay for your pur-chase. Again, St James will gain funds at no cost to you. This Par-ish belongs to each and every one of us. Without investment of time and treasure from each one of us, the Parish will never meet its potential. Let’s all work together to make St James financially secure and the very best it can be.
Our Catechists are volunteers that lead others in understand-
ing the faith teachings according to the official teachings of the
Church, the Catechism of the Catholic Church. Please stop by
to thank them for their service.
St. James Scrip Program

Safeway, Any Retailer. *A complete list of vendors can be viewed at www.glscrip.com.
