“Sponsor a Star”
Tuition Assistance Annual Drive
Each year, hundreds of children in the Paterson Diocese seek to attend a high-quality Catholic school.
For many families, tuition expenses are an insurmountable burden.
Donors to “Sponsor a Star” Tuition Assistance Program here at our Academy of St. James School
help to offset the cost of tuition, enabling hardworking students to pursue a high-quality education
in an academically competitive, values-oriented setting.
Please consider sponsoring an Academy of St. James Student for the 2023-2024 school year.
Donations go directly to helping our families continue to provide a Catholic School education for their children.
If you would like to sponsor a child in our school, please print out a form below.

Blessing of your Home!
“The celebration of blessings holds a privileged place among all sacramentals created by the Church for the pastoral benefit of the people of God. The celebration leads the faithful to praise God and prepares them for the principal effect of the sacraments. By celebrating a blessing, the faithful can sanctify various situations and events in their lives.” (Congregation for Divine Worship, 1984)
Formally, blessing your home protects the family from the deceptions and temptations of the Enemy.
Is it time to have your home blessed? Has it ever been blessed by a priest?
Please call the Parish Rectory, (973-790-0288) if the time has come for the blessing of your home, especially if it has never been formally done. Either I or Fr. Joey will come as soon as possible.
Fr. Marc

Do you need Confession?
The state of grace is the presence of sanctifying grace in a person’s soul. The Catechism of the Catholic Church defines sanctifying grace as the following:
It is “the gratuitous gift of the Lord’s life that God offers to us; it is infused by the Holy Spirit into the soul to heal it of sin and to sanctify it. Sanctifying grace makes us pleasing to God.” (CCC #2023-24).
A person in the state of grace participates in God’s divine life in an extraordinary way. It is true friendship with God. As a gift which only God can give, that person has a stable and supernatural disposition which enables him/her to live with God and act by His love.
When you live in the state of grace, you are very pleasing to God. The presence of the Holy Spirit is powerful in you! Stay in the state of grace always. Don’t lose it by committing mortal sin.
And, if you do lose it by mortal sin, be sure to participate in the Sacrament of Penance (Confession) as soon as possible. By doing so, you can have state of grace returned to your soul! Then, you’ll be back to a wonderful friendship with God!

Request a Visit to the Sick & Home-Bound
If you have a relative or friend who is home-bound and would like to be visited by a Priest or
an Extraordinary Minister of Holy Communion, please call the Parish Rectory at (973) 790-0288
or email us at [email protected].
The Extraordinary Minister of Holy Communion brings the Church and the comfort of Christ in the form of the Eucharist to those who cannot physically come to church.
