#iGiveCatholic 2020

The U.S. Catholic Church’s Giving Day celebrates all aspects of our Catholic faith. The #iGiveCatholic Giving Day inspires faithful stewards to "Give Catholic" on #GivingTuesday, a global day of generosity and kindness. The mission of #iGiveCatholic is to unite Catholic communities and donors throughout the country to give back in support of the organizations that have always given to us: Our parishes, schools, and nonprofit ministries.

Divinely interwoven in the souls of Catholics are gratitude and generosity. Called to receive God’s gifts gratefully, we share them, lovingly, in service to one another. Through our grateful and faith-filled response, we unite, giving back, and Giving Catholic, as, together, we provide food for the multitudes, and the ordinary becomes extraordinary.

This year the funds raised will go to pay for our new boiler.

New Boiler

We now have a new boiler in the east basement! Our 40-year-old boiler has been replaced at a cost of approximately $50,000. It has been having more leaks, repair costs and outages in the last few years. The boiler replacement was one our delayed major repair items from the 2015-2016 renovation. We removed it from the renovation project to lower the overall cost. The new boiler is 96% efficient compared to the old one at 60% or less. We will have more reliable heat plus lower utilitiy bills. Please consider donating to this major project.

Our Mission

St. James parish was established in the 1860s to be a sign of the presence of the Kingdom of God, to spread the Good News of the Gospel, and to minister and serve others. As Catholics, we believe in Jesus' dying and rising and in our call to celebrate the Sacraments and proclaim the Gospel.

The Oktoberfest Silent Action will continue this weekend and at 2:00 p.m. we will livestream the drawing on Facebook. Please read the Oktoberfest information in this bulletin. The parish council has chosen to give the Oktoberfest tithe to a charitable organization called Mission II Haiti. Mission II Haiti is operated and administrated locally. Parishioners Bob Easton & Roger Hoffman and others lead this effort to bring supplies from here and dig water wells in Haiti. Haiti is considered the poorest country in our hemisphere. The Mission Statement of Mission II Haiti is, with Christian love and service, we will work to provide water for the people of Haiti by repairing and placing pumps over open wells. You can find more information at www.missioniihaiti.org.

The 2020/21 Diocesan Appeal information was mailed out to all registered St. James Parishioners this past week. The theme of the 2020/21 Diocesan Appeal is CULTIVATE. October 31-November 1 is Commitment weekend. Please mail your pledge card directly to the diocese using the enclosed envelope. If you bring the pledge card and envelope to the offertory, we will send it directly to the diocese each week. Please make your checks payable to the Grand Island Diocesan Appeal. Your giving statement related to the Diocesan Appeal will be generated from the Diocesan Stewardship & Development office. Any amount you can give or pledge will make a difference. Thank you all for your support.
