NEW BULLETIN LAYOUT
This week, we are rolling out a new format for our bulletin. Some items were added, and some have been omitted. We welcome any suggestions for future bulletins. Send suggestions toBulletin@StJKC.org.

THIS SUNDAY IS THE BAPTISM OF OUR LORD. We welcome anyone who can join us at our Sunday Mass at St. James. Fr. Garry Richmeier will be our celebrant.

MASKS
Considering that many parishioners are still suffering the effects of the COVID-19 virus, if you plan to join us in person, we recommend masking if you exhibit symptoms or are immune compromised.

WE CONTINUE TO LIVESTREAM OUR 10:00 AM SUNDAY MASS, reaching out to parishioners who can’t attend in person. Here is the link to the livestream through our Facebook Page of St. James Midtown KC. A recording of the livestreamed Mass can also be accessed at https://stjkc.org/sundays-at-st-james. 

PANTRY SUNDAY Last Sunday was Pantry Sunday. Since we didn’t have Mass at St. James, we encourage community members to bring the following items this Sunday: peanut butter, bar soap, rice, and hand warmers. All items are to help restock the Bishop Sullivan Pantry. Thank you for your continued generosity.

INCLEMENT WEATHER If there is inclement weather, we will send an email announcing that we will not have Mass on Sunday. If the Mass is canceled, please check Facebook for the availability of Masses live-streamed at other parishes.

NEW PARISH HOURS Temporarily starting January 6, 2025, the Parish Office will be open on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays from 10:00 AM to 3:00 PM.
