Souper Bowl of Caring Sunday, February 5th

February 5th will be Souper Bowl of Caring Sunday. At all services there will be young people with soup pots at the doors of both St. Mark's and St. James' to collect your donations which will be earmarked for the Food Bank (SCAN). Last year more than 260,000 youth participated in Souper Bowl of Caring, collecting more than $9.5 million for local hunger-relief charities. More than $81 million has been collected since the movement began in 1990. This year’s goal is to empower 275,000 young people to collect $11 million for charities in their communities.

St. James' Foyer Groups

Foyer Groups are a fun and easy way for parishioners to get together on a regular but informal basis for purely social reasons – to enjoy each other's company, to strengthen bonds of community, to meet new people. Foyer Groups provide a means to develop new friendships and deepen old ones and are a way to make our parish feel smaller and warmer. Click here for more information on how you can join a St. James' Parish Foyer Group.
