We welcome anyone who can attend Sunday Mass at St. James at 10 a.m. Fr. Garry Richmeier will be our celebrant.
Considering that many parishioners are still suffering the effects of the COVID-19 virus and other infections, 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 and friends who can’t attend in person. Here is the link to the live stream on our Facebook page for St. James Midtown, KC. A recording of the live-streamed Mass can also be accessed at https://stjkc.org/sundays-at-st-james.
Parishioner Michaela Meckel had her Letter to the Editor published in the KC Star, calling attention to the climate crisis and calling on Evergy to close the Hawthorn coal-fired power plant. While federal action on climate change may be moving in the wrong direction, there are very real things we can do locally over the next four years that can have a BIG impact. In Kansas City, that means closing the Hawthorn coal-fired power plant this year. Our window for action on climate change is closing rapidly, so we don’t have four years to waste. Sign the close Hawthorn Plant petition here: sc.org/kickcoalkc https://www.kansascity.com/opinion/readers-opinion/guest-commentary/article299029950.html.
