You are here: Home / 7 Ministries / Outreach / POCKET CHANGE FOR A POSITIVE PURPOSE

07/17/2019 by Web Admin

Does pocket change just sit in a jar on your bureau, make your purse feel like 100 lbs, fall on the floor and roll around at the Wawa checkout, end up in your cup holder or down between the seats of your car? Seriously, is this the real purpose for pocket change? …We think not! So…. the Bouncing Back Committee is announcing:

About Saint James

There are a number of Saint Jameses in the New Testament – Saint James the brother of Jesus (‘St. James the Just’), Saint James the son of Zebedee (‘St. James the Great’) and Saint James the son of Alphaeus (‘St. James the Less’). The shells that adorn the outside of the parish hall (a symbol of St. James the Great) suggest that our parish is named for this St. James.

Site Dedication

This site was made possible by, and is dedicated to, the Loving Memory of Judy Dress.
