Since 1974, National Catholic Schools Week is the annual celebration of Catholic education in the United States. It starts the last Sunday in January and runs all week, which in 2021 is January 31 – February 6. The theme for National Catholic Schools Week 2021 is “Catholic Schools: Faith. Excellence. Service.” St. James Regional will celebrate the week with a full week of events for our students, families, parishioners of our feeder parishes, and community members! Through these events, schools focus on the value Catholic education provides to young people and its contributions to our church, our communities and our nation. Click the title for a full schedule!

Please consider joining the St. Dorothy Social Justice Group as they host, along with Archbishop Perez, the Martin Luther King, Jr. Interfaith Prayer Service on Monday, January 18th at 6:00 PM. This Prayer Service will include reflections and music. The goal and the hope is to achieve appreciation for other faiths as we participate in the spirituality of religious cultures and traditions.

This week, the Catholic Church in the United States spends time promoting vocations to the priesthood and religious life.   Every person has a vocation; a calling in life to be the person God has intended you to be. Our callings are as unique as our fingerprints. Discovering your vocation, a process called discernment, takes careful consideration, quiet contemplation, prayer and dedication.  It also takes courage to say “yes” to God’s call.
