 Dear Parents,
The 2010 Diocese of Charlotte Eucharistic Congress is fast approaching and there is an opportunity for your stewardship of time and talent! The Eucharistic Congress is scheduled for Friday, September 10 and Saturday, September 11, 2010 at the Charlotte Convention Center.
Again this year, we are blessed to have Rob Evans, “the Donut Man,” for the children’s program (K-5) on Saturday, September 11. Rob is a nationally recognized singer and songwriter who was received with great joy by the children at the 2009 Eucharistic Congress. We are also blessed to have the Brothers and Sisters of the Alliance of the Two Hearts (O.A.T.H. and L.I.H.M.) with us for the Middle School Track (6 – 8). Please prayerfully ponder volunteering to serve as “a guide” from 12:00 pm – 1:30 pm or from 1:30 – 3:30 pm to help on Saturday September 11. This scheduling will provide the time to see some of the Youth Programs as well as attend at least one talk in the adult program if you would like to do so.
This year we are not providing lunch in the various youth tracks but there will be a snack in the afternoon. You can view the requirements and register to volunteer by visiting the Eucharistic Congress’ website: http://www.goeucharist.com. Thank you for all you do to shepherd God’s children! I hope to see you at the Congress! May our Lady intercede for you and our Lord grant you abundant graces. You are in my prayers daily. Patti

 St. James the Greater Parish Community is delighted to announce the addition of two new beautiful statues to our already scenic cemetery located on Gold Hill Road in Concord. We hope that these statues representing the Pieta and the Resurrected Christ will bring peace and hope to all those mourning the loss of a loved one buried at this location.
The statues were dedicated and blessed by our pastor Rev. Joseph Dionne C.Ss.R prior to a special memorial Mass at the cemetery on Monday, May 31, 2010. This Mass intention was for all those parishioners interned there. St. James Parish plans to make this Memorial Day Mass an annual event to honor our deceased.
All this was possible thanks to the generosity of Dennis Durand and the Cemetery Ministry Volunteers- Nick Parette, Andy Chopko, Paul Jordan, James Lentz, BJ McCormick, Art Bunting, Joe Chirco, Andy Ferraro, Peter Franzese, Peter Kelnhofer and Dick Bensler. May God bless you all for your stewardship.
