Many projects have been completed and a few more will be completed soon. No more water on the floor in the Hughes Room! The water line in the wall has been replaced. No more band aid patches in the steam pipe in the Jimenez Room! The old pipe has been replaced. These repairs were made possible through the generous donations from our parishioners at St. James. Thank you! There are a few more projects in the pipeline that will be completed. Continued donations to the Maintenance Fund will help pay for these projects. A leaking steam pipe and a circulation pump will be replaced. These projects are necessary before the cold season arrives. Thank you again for your generous donations! An HVAC and Boiler Maintenance Contract has been signed with ServiceX MEP. This contract will help St. James stay on top of our heating and cooling systems. The support and generosity from the parishioners at St. James is greatly appreciated!

Dear Parishioners, We are about to make the commitment for the Annual Appeal 2023 of the Archdiocese of Washington. Let me thank you, again, for your cooperation last year! I ask you to prayerfully consider your gift for this year 2023. As you know, the Annual Appeal is different from your weekly offertory giving to the parish. There are three things that make the Appeal special: First, the Annual Appeal unites us with our Archbishop in serving the many, charitable needs of the Church in Washington. Second, the Annual Appeal funds ministries that our parish could not sustain on our own, such as seminarian formation, campus ministries programs and Deaf and disabilities ministries. Third, the Annual Appeal supports our parish ministerial life, from schools and catechesis, to family and pro-life ministries, to many more in between. Next weekend will be our commitment weekend. Thank you in advance for your cooperation and support! Your steadfast generosity not only is a source of inspiration for me but a force for good in our Church today. Have a great Sunday! God bless you all!! Fr Pablo Bonello IVE
