Record-Breaking Support for the Salvation Army!

The Thanksgiving Day offering, the Messiah Sing-Along offering, and the offering collected at the Salvation Army's Carol Sing was the largest amount ever donated by St. James' Parish to the Salvation Army! The sponsors for the Messiah Sing-Along enabled the entire offering that evening to go to the Salvation Army. At the Carol Sing, directed by Michael S. Ryan, we presented $1,526 in toys and $2,458 in checks for a total of $3,984. Some people, before the Sing-Along placed their offerings in the Salvation Army's kettle. So we can, with joy, say that for the first time we donated more than $4,000! God bless you all.
