Good morning St. James community,

In light of recent events in the news, we thought it wise to arrange for the presence of security during this weekend’s celebrations at St. James.

Several protestant churches and other religious communities in the general area have security on a regular basis; we thought everyone could rest secure knowing that our most important celebrations would proceed without any difficulties.

We are blessed here in Arlington Heights with an amazing police force; they are providing an officer to be present in the church for our community starting today, Holy Thursday, through Easter Sunday. Please give a warm welcome to the officers who will be with us as we celebrate during the weekend.

Happy Easter,
Fr. Ed and St. James Staff
