Wreaths Across America at St. James' Parish

This is the third year St. James' Parish will participate in the Wreaths Across America program. Worcester Wreath Company donates seven wreaths to every location, one for each branch of the military, and for POW/MIAs. However, the hope is that every veteran receives one, and for that we are accepting donations. We were able to get every veteran buried in the St. James' Parish churchyard a wreath the last two years and are hoping we can continue that tradition.

St. James' Parish is in need of 115 wreaths to place on gravesites in the churchyard. If you are interested in sponsoring a wreath, please place a check or cash in any collection plate and be sure to mark it for "Wreaths Across America." Donation amounts are: $15 (for 1 wreath); $30 (2 wreaths); $75 (5 wreaths); or $150 (10 wreaths). All donations are tax deductible, and the deadline to donate is December 2.

Please also join us for a wreath ceremony on December 16th after the 11 AM Service. For additional information or to volunteer to help, please contact Ashley at Artemis914@aol.com.
