Children’s Choir

Do your children love to sing and make a Joyful Noise unto the Lord?

Then this is a great opportunity for them to be a part of something spectacular here at St. James! Joining a choir helps young singers to develop the qualities of self-discipline, self-confidence, and pride in individual and group accomplishments. These qualities while vital for successful choirs, also help children in dealing with life’s challenges outside of choir.

The St. James Children’s Choir is open to any child in grades 3-8. Rehearsals are scheduled for 4:30pm—5:30 pm on Wednesday afternoons weekly. Rehearsals begin on October 21st and run through January 27, 2027. In addition to leading on a few weekend Masses, the Children’s Choir will offer a 15 minute prelude of Christmas music and lead the Assembly at our 4:00 pm Christmas Eve Mass. We are hoping to have 20 children participating this year. Please sign up your child on the Parish or Christian Formation website by October 15, 2026.

Caregiver Luncheon

A caregiver’s role can be rewarding and exhausting, difficult and joy-filled, meaningful and frustrating, isolating and inspiring—but we also discover God’s joy as we care for loved ones.

Join us for our quarterly Caregiver Luncheon on Wednesday, October 21st from 12:30-1:30pm in the Community Center, where we will share lunch together and then listen to our guest speaker, Cindee Re, co-founder of Chronic Joy. Chronic Joy is a global resource ministry dedicated to compassionately serving those affected by chronic illness, mental illness, chronic pain and disability by providing accessible, easy-to-use, faith based-based educational resources and publications. After her presentation, we will have a 15-minute question and answer session with Cindee.

To RSVP for the luncheon, contact Kristen Winter at 309-369-1378 or kwinter@stjames-parish.com by Friday, October 16th.

Hearing Assist System

St. James has a Hearing Assist System available for your use in the church. WaveCAST can be accessed through a cell phone and ear buds, your own Bluetooth enabled Hearing Aid, a separate unit with an earpiece or a lanyard that can be worn around the neck (Both available in the Ushers Room, please ask an usher for assistance).

Perhaps the easiest way to take advantage of this listening aid is through your cell phone. Below are a few simple steps to utilize this new system.

Download the WaveCast Audio Receiver app from the Apple app store or wherever you get your apps.
When you arrive at church open the Settings on your cell phone and then click on the WI-Fi icon.
St. James Guest should appear as an option for networks. Select that network. A password is not needed.
Close out of Settings and open the WaveCast icon on your phone.
Select St. James Guest network.
Be sure your cell phone Bluetooth is connected to your earbuds or hearing aids with Bluetooth capabilities.

Please remember to always silence the ringer on your phone while at church.

St. James has low gluten hosts available for people on a gluten restricted diet due to medical reasons. When going to receive the Eucharist, go to the priest’s distribution line and let the priest know you need low gluten.
