This Sunday is the Second Sunday of Advent. Rockhill Manor parishioners share their reflections. Please see attached 2nd Sunday of Advent Bulletin.

May we invite those who can attend the Sunday Mass in-person to join us in the celebration of the Holy Eucharist in St. James KC. Fr. Garry Richmeier will be our celebrant.

Considering that many parishioners are still suffering the effects of the Covid virus, we recommend masking if you plan to attend Mass in-person this Sunday.

We continue to livestream our 10:00 AM Sunday Mass, reaching out to parishioners and friends who are in hospitals, in nursing homes or housebound. In addition, the availability of the livestream Sunday Mass is for those who may be pregnant, parents of unvaccinated children, immunocompromised and unvaccinated individuals. Here is the link to the livestream: Facebook Page of St. James Midtown KC. Recording of the livestreamed Mass can be accessed at https://stjkc.org/sundays-at-st-james.

AN IMPORTANT PARISH-WIDE MEETING TO DISCUSS THE FUTURE DIRECTION OF ST. JAMES COMMUNITY
The one-hour meeting includes a discussion about moving from a Parish Administrator-led parish to a more community-led parish. This will be a bold move, and the outcome of this discussion will reflect the type of leader St. James needs and the type of parishioners we need to be as we continue to Build the Kingdom of God together. We will meet immediately after the 10 am Mass on December 15 th . All are encouraged to attend. The Parish Transition Team will conduct the meeting.
