Lent Penitential Regulations
The Catholic Church asks each member to preserve the penitential character and purpose of Lent. For this reason:
Catholics who have celebrated their 14th birthday are bound to abstain from meat on Ash Wednesday and each Friday of Lent;
Catholics who have celebrated their 18th birthday, in addition to abstaining from meat, are to fast on Ash Wednesday and Good Friday. Hence, on those days they may eat only one full meal. Smaller quantities of food may be taken at two other meals, but no food should be consumed at other times during those days. The obligation of fasting ceases with the celebration of one’s 59th birthday.
Catholics should not lightly excuse themselves from these prescribed minimal penitential practices.
Stations of the Cross
Stations of the Cross will be held during Lent in the chapel on Wednesday mornings after Mass and Friday afternoons at 5:00 pm. Please join us as you are able.

New Hearing Assist System
St. James is pleased to announce we have a new Hearing Assist System available for your use in the church. WaveCAST can be accessed through a cell phone and ear buds, your own Bluetooth enabled Hearing Aid, a separate unit with an earpiece or a lanyard that can be worn around the neck (Both available in the Ushers Room, please ask an usher for assistance).
Perhaps the easiest way to take advantage of this listening aid is through your cell phone. Below are a few simple steps to utilize this new system.
- Download the WaveCast Audio Receiver app from the Apple app store or wherever you get your apps.
- When you arrive at church open the Settings on your cell phone and then click on the WI-Fi icon.
- St. James Guest should appear as an option for networks. Select that network. A password is not needed.
- Close out of Settings and open the WaveCast icon on your phone.
- Select St. James Guest network.
- Be sure your cell phone Bluetooth is connected to your earbuds or hearing aids with Bluetooth capabilities.
Please remember to always silence the ringer on your phone while at church.
St. James has low gluten hosts available for people on a gluten restricted diet due to medical reasons. When going to receive the Eucharist, go to the priest’s distribution line and let the priest know you need low gluten.
