       We welcome you to our parishes in the northwest corner     
                            of Sussex County, New Jersey.

The Solemnity of the Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary will be observed on Thursday and Masses will be offered as per this schedule:
8am at St. James in Montague 
9am and also 7pm at St. Thomas in Sandyston

Re-registrations for children in grades 1 through 6 were mailed out for the upcoming catechetical year and were due back by July 31st to avoid a late fee.

Parents of children entering first grade, new children to the parish, or children enrolled in Catholic school or home school who will be preparing to receive the Sacraments of First Reconciliation and First Holy Eucharist must call the Religious Education Office to register.

To enroll your child(ren) in the parish program, you must be a registered and participating member of the parish.
After July 31st, all re-registrations must be brought to the REC.
No re-registrations  will be taken the week of September 15th (first week of classes).All late reregistrations must be brought to the Religious Education Office after September 18th.
Please call to schedule an appointment. 

  We welcome you and invite you to fill out a registration form which can be found in the vestibule of the Church or obtained via the Parish Office. 
  Often when a Catholic is asked to be a Godparent or Sponsor, a letter from the pastor of their parish is requested. That letter can only be provided to a registered member of the parish.

Due to upcoming changes for those who will begin preparing to receive the Sacrament of Confirmation, it is very important that a parent with children currently enrolled in our Religious Education program or who plan to enroll before Sept.,will attend a meeting. Notices will be sent out for another meeting for those who could did not attend the one held in June. 
See the information pertinent to these changes under Liturgy/Sacraments. 

The parishes of St. James and of St. Thomas accept Online Giving.
Please click on the above logo to sign up.

The C.L.O.W.will resume in September, as part of the 9:30 AM Sunday Mass.   
We invite all our K - 6th grade children and our Middle and High School teens to continue attending a regularly scheduled Mass each weekend with their family until then. 
 Please call the Religious Ed Office at (973) 948-7004 should you have any  questions or need further information.
