St. James the Apostle Religious Education

Reminder that we are closed for MLK day tomorrow, and technically we are closed the following two days after! Please do not hesitate to leave us messages or email [email protected] We appreciate everything! May God bless us this new year and may we have a heart after God like Martin Luther King did. No new quiz this week!!

Brian discusses and interesting point regarding the youth and what the culture challenges us, from offering more entertainment and fun over truth and tradition.

Today is the feast of the first Martyr of the Church! May we continue to ask the intercession of the saints who have given their life for the Church, especially remembering the martyrs of today.

A reminder as we enter into Christmas! Do you have room in your inn? The inn of your heart! Do you welcome the Christ Child with all your heart, soul and mind? Christ is here to save us, transform us, and bring us to Heaven with His Father. Our time spent here on earth should be solely for that goal. The one that seems so hard to understand, even attain. But we have everything we need here to make it there - the Eucharist, the Sacraments, our Savior. We have to accept it and mold into our life. It's not as automatic as we realize, it takes work! You can do it through all things through Christ who strengthens you.

A little fact about discernment!!

A great Scriptural information video by Dr. Bergsma. This one is for the adults! I was very blessed to have this professor in my graduate studies. He is a Scriptural scholar and convert to Catholicism. I HIGHLY recommend his books, which he does write for an audience who are not theologians! Watch it and let us know if you learned anything new!?

We will be back in action on Tuesday and our staff and myself will answer our emails and calls! It was a much needed break weekend we hope you get a good rest and a joyous start to the rest of the week! We look forward to the rest of our October in person classes and will help ensure the things you need to get to us, in fact get to us! We appreciate it. Most of all we are blessed and praying so hard for your family. This time is meant to not just complete a workbook or qui...z, but to spend time with Christ, build faith as a family, trust in the Lord during difficult times and remember you are always wrapped in the mantle of our Blessed Mother. God bless! See more

A great share for the kids! Check it out :)
