WELCOME!
Love God, Love all People, Make Disciples
Maybe you grew up Catholic. Maybe you think of yourself as Catholic.
Maybe you haven’t been to church in a while. Or, you are worried that you won’t be welcomed here. And maybe it feels awkward and scary to take that first
step. Question. Doubts. Yearning, but not sure for what.
We get it. We’ve been there. Now we are here. Maybe God is calling you, too. Just as you are.
Welcome home.
Sunday Masses: (Saturday 5:30 pm) | Sunday 6:30 am , 8, 10, 12 noon, 5:30 pm
|Monday-Friday 8, 12 noon | Saturday 8 am
Thank you for worshipping with us! We are not complete without you!
415 Vincent Street | Redondo Beach, CA 90277 | 310.372.5228 | SaintJames.Church
Office Hours: Monday - Thursday 8 to 8 pm | Friday 8 - 7 pm | Saturday 9 - 12 noon | Sunday Closed
Whether you’re visiting beautiful Redondo Beach or look-ing for a church to belong to, St. James will always wel-
come you. We have been home to anyone looking to grow to spiritual maturity and deepening their faith since the
1800’s.
Come and join us and we promise we’ll make you feel right at home too.
We have been caring for people in the community for gen-erations through our Feed the Needy ministry. We’re
reaching out to homeless families with our participation in the Family Promise of the South Bay.
We have been bringing sacraments and encouragement to those in prison, homebound or in hospitals.
Our expanding youth ministry is changing the lives of young people as they grow in fellowship with each other
and develop a deepening faith.
Spend a few moments talking to members of our parish family, browse through our every expanding list of minis-tries, and consider volunteering for where God is leading you. Your life will be forever changed as we grow together on the path to spiritual maturity, becoming the holy, healthy, vibrant person the God has created you to be.

CHANGING LIVES As a vibrant community of believers,
we are deeply grateful for God’s love
in our lives and excited to share the
Good news of salvation with all our
family, friends and neighbors.

New Parish Bulletin
We are very pleased to introduce our newly designed
parish bulletin this weekend. We have recently entered
into a contract with Liturgical Publications (LPi) to
provide our weekly bulletin. We have chosen to make the
move to LPi because they have upgraded their services to
the most modern digital equipment available. This
technology provides us with the most vibrant and truest
colors possible for parish publications.
In addition, we have expanded the bulletin from 6 pages
of content to 10 pages which will enable us to provide you
with a more complete presentation of our parish activities
and ministries. Hopefully we will not have to resort to
using smaller and smaller printing fonts in order to get
everything into the bulletin as we have done in the past.
The change to our new bulletin format will not be an
added cost to the parish. The bulletin is provided for us
through the generosity of our sponsors/advertisers in the
back of each bulletin. With the change to the new
publisher, you will notice that there are not many local
advertisements in the bulletin this week. We would like to
introduce to you
Nik Alexander, Jessi Sallenbach and Dan Parker, who are
currently working at St. James to help our parishioners
and local businesses develop ads to support the bulletin.
Call 424.237.1548 or 424.237.1549 to talk to them.
Msgr. Mike and Fr. IK

Every year the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops set aside a Sunday in September as Catechetical Sunday. On this day parishes and dioceses across the United States acknowledge, pray for and commission all the women and men who serve the Church as catechists. The date for this year’s Catechetical Sunday was September 11th, and the theme for the 2016-2017 catechetical year is “Prayer: The Faith Prayed” At the 10:00am Mass on that day, our pastor, Msgr. Mike commissioned all of the above volunteer teachers, aides and staff in the Religious Education Program Grades 1-8. Also, commissioned on that day was volunteer catechists from the Sunday School, Children’s RCIA and Children’s Liturgy of the Word Ministries. Please keep us in your prayers as we begin a new year! God Bless you, Diana Holly, Director Religious Education

Growing in Faith
Cornerstone for Men Retreat
Cornerstone is a 26 hour
retreat allows adults to
become more actively involved
in their spiritual development.
In this dynamic retreat we see
that our story is also God’s story —both the good and
the bad—and we can understand and see ourselves and
others and how God is working in our lives.
Cornerstone is offered separately for men and women
once a year. This powerful and engaging retreat allows
us to consider our unique experience as men in the world
trying to deepen our faith. The experience will also
have a deep impact on our relationships to family and
work.
The retreat is convenient and is here at St. James on
Friday evening, 6pm November 11th and ends Saturday
evening at 8 pm.
The Cornerstone Team has made a year-long
commitment to prepare themselves for your experience.
Give yourself and your family this unique gift of yourself
as a man of faith, blessed and inspired by the mercy and
power of God’s love in your life.
Register at SaintJames.Church/Cornerstone This free
retreat is being provided for you as a gift from the men
who experienced the retreat last year. Your small leap
of faith now will become a lifetime of blessing. Take courage and become a man of faith.

“Is any among you sick?
Let him call for the elders of the
church, and let them pray over
him, anointing him with oil in the
name of the Lord; and the prayer
of faith will save the sick man,
and the Lord will raise him up; and if he has committed
sins, he will be forgiven” (Jas. 5:14–15).
