The Online Giving option available to all parishioners

also be used to make donations on Holy Days, for sec-

ond collections (i.e., Saint James School, seasonal shar-

ing and St. Vincent de Paul) as well as Archdiocesan

collections which occur throughout the year. Taking

advantage of Online Giving eliminates the need to

write checks and keep track of envelopes. It also bene-

fits the parish because of the consistency of the support

lopes. To learn more or to sign up go to the Parish web-

site, www.stjamesmanchester.org; scroll to the bottom

Do you shop on Amazon.com? Amazon's charitable giv-

ing program, AmazonSmile, will donate a percentage of

your total Amazon purchases to Saint James School at

no additional cost to you! Simply type http://

smile.amazon.com/ch/06-0653122 into your website

browser and begin shopping. Or, visit http://

smile.amazon.com and, when prompted to select a

charity, enter 06-0653122 in the search box (or "St. James

Parish Corporation," which allows your donation to go

right to the school's direct fundraising account).

Entering Amazon through the “Smile” link gives you

zon.com but with the extra bonus of supporting Saint

James School. We thank you for your consideration of

support.

Dear Sweet Family of St. James,

Thank you for your generous gift of gift cards and food

to bless our Joy of Community Sharing and food pantry

guests. You are amazing partners with huge hearts.

The statement, “we are in this together”, that came out

shortly after the pandemic hit, did not mean much

more than a clever cliché to me at the time, but it has

deep meaning to me now, nine months in. MACC’s

resources would have been easily depleted by COVID

19, if not for many people like you who showed up to

invest their time, talent and treasure to support this

good work.

Your gift, combined with the generosity of many others

like you, provides MACC with the precious resources

needed to fight what is here and whatever may come

next. I am not worried because I now truly believe, “we

are in this together”, and we will come out on the other

side together.

Bless you,

Beth Stafford

MISSALETTES AVAILABLE FOR PARISHIONER

PERSONAL USE

Missalettes are now available at the entrances of the

church for parishioners to take home. We ask that you

take one and bring it back and forth with you each time

you attend Mass. Considering the restrictions we are

observing because of the coronavirus, once you take a

missalette, please don’t leave it behind in church.

EVERYDAY STEWARDSHIP - RECOGNIZE GOD IN

YOUR ORDINARY MOMENTS

When God Whispers

“You don’t need to shout. My hearing works just fine.”

Are you a parent that has used that one on your kids?

I’m not sure at what age they realize that the volume of

their voice doesn’t correlate to the likelihood of receiving

a favorable reply — it might be sometime in the teenage

years, when the talking slows down altogether.

But I’ve got to admit, it would be nice if God always

gave us a loud and dramatic sign when He wanted

something — the booming voice and the torn-open heav-

ens (“This is my beloved Son!”) really get the message

across. Sometimes I find myself envious of the Apostles,

who were able to witness such things in person.

The fact of the matter is, in the year 2021, God is more

likely to speak in a whisper than in a shout. The prophet

Isaiah forewarns that Christ himself will not be a noise-

maker — for all his preaching, he will not cry out or

shout to bring forth justice to the nations. His way is al-

together different than that.

We are not the Apostles, and we do not have the privi-

lege of seeing the Holy Spirit descend on Christ like a

dove. But here’s the good news: God doesn’t need to

shout. Our spiritual hearing works just fine. We just

have to be listening.

Let’s wake up each morning ready to hear God’s whis-

pers throughout the day. Let’s make a conscious effort to

invite those whispers into our hearts, where they can

become a catalyst for grace in this world.

Dear Parishioners,

As the Christmas season comes to a close, I’d like to take

a moment to thank everyone who contributed to

making our Christmas liturgies so beautiful. This year

between Saint James and Church of the Assumption we

celebrated nine Masses between Christmas Eve and

Christmas Day with a total in-person attendance of 621

people. We also offered Christmas Mass on YouTube

which was watched over 2000 times.

With deep appreciation, I’d like to acknowledge the ef-

forts of those who helped make this Christmas season

both meaningful and beautiful for the parishioners of

Saint James Parish.

Our maintenance staff and Deacon LaRocque, under the

direction of Rich Yirga, our facilities manager, coordi-

nated the decoration of our churches so that they would

reflect the beauty of Christmas. Rich also produces our

YouTube Masses and was responsible for the exquisite

camera work.

The members of our various ministries including read-

ers and ministers of Holy Communion provided assis-

tance at the Masses. Ushers, assisted by members of the

Knights of Columbus, ensured that attendance at the

Christmas Masses went smoothly and conformed with

state guidelines. The office staff scheduled and coordi-

nated Mass registration.

I’d like to especially thank James Bagni, our director of

music ministries, who scheduled the musicians for all of

our Masses. Their musical contributions added to the

beauty and dignity of all of our liturgies and made it

feel like Christmas! Thank you for your service and

contributions to our Parish.

May God continue to bless us in 2021.

The Baptism of the Lord�

The Baptism of the Lord

We need history. We need it in order to understand our-

selves, personally and collectively. The pieces of our histo-

ries may not have always been the most positive, honest,

exemplary, dignified, proud and best moments of our

lives, but they are ours. We have to acknowledge, remem-

ber, accept, and often heal them. We cannot forget them or

pretend that they never existed. As horrible as the atroci-

ties of events like Auschwitz, brutal injustices committed

throughout the human journey, or personal painful expe-

riences in our own stories, we need to remember. These

times when humanity in general or people in particular

have lost their way are times that need to be reconciled

and redeemed.

If we lose the memories, we will make the same mistakes

again. The human soul needs a strong sense of affirma-

tion, direction, and clear purpose. Without these essen-

tials, we will easily run amuck and repeat the sins of our

past. God’s voice throughout history has spoken precisely

about this! We are reminded through the voices and ex-

ample of many prophets and witnesses not to make the

same mistakes again, come back to center, discover the

purpose given to us by God, maintain a sense of proper

direction, seek healing for wounds and be reconciled to

our Creator.

Baptism is so incredibly important for the salvation of hu-

mankind, not only eternally but here and now. Our exist-

ence depends upon it. It gives us the affirmation we need

from God by gifting us with the same intimate relation-

ship Jesus had with the Father. We are blessed with the

direction and clear purpose we need in order to be pro-

ductive stewards and faithful Christians. Baptism calls us

to remember, accept, and deal with the sins and inequities

of our past regardless of how hurtful and serious. We con-

sciously choose to turn away from them and put on the

new life of Christ. To do this well, we must look hard and

long at our sins and failings, listen to what they are saying

and learn from them. If we ignore the past, collectively or

personally, or pretend that it never happened, we will

never grow. We will surely die.

People need to hear the message, lived and spoken, deliv-

ered by the baptized members of the Body of Christ. It is

an essential message of hope that is layered with visions

of justice, peace, reconciliation, redemption, blessing, and

healing. It is a message that helps us remember what has

gone before, the graces and the sins, and bring ourselves

by God’s help where we need to be. We are called to do

much more than sit home behind our closed doors. We

have a message to deliver. Are we ready to do so?

THANK YOU FOLKS!!

The Knights of Columbus, Council 1155, would like to

thank the parishioners of Saint James Parish for the gen-

erous donations to our annual “Coats for Kids” drive.

Each year you have warmed more children than the

year before. This year we were especially blessed.

Thanks to you the Knights were able to deliver an

amazing 133 coats to children in need in Manchester.

We also collected 19 sweatshirts and dozens of hats,

scarfs, gloves, and mittens. People keep thanking the

Knights for the help. Well, we deliver, because you

have delivered. Thank you!

Today we celebrate the feast of the Baptism of the Lord and

mark the end of the Christmas season. In Baptism, we

profess our commitment to the Church’s beliefs, values, and

vision. Mark this day by reflecting on the symbolism and

meaning of your own Baptism, your membership in the com-

munity, and the mission on which you were sent.

Baptism…

…makes us “members of one another”.

...reveals the equality and dignity of each member of

the community.

...requires us to reject sin and re-assess our values,

decisions, and lifestyles.

...invites us to a vocation of holiness and practice of

charity.

...leads us to imitate Christ’s example.
