Catholic Schools Week—it's a national tradition and has been since 1974. Students, staff and families at James Regional look forward to this celebration of Catholic education every year.

St. James Regional mourns the sudden loss of faculty member Mr. Maurice Hamel. Mr. Hamel joined our faculty this year as a 7th grade teacher. Our students and faculty were blessed to have him as part of our community. This Friday's school Mass will be offered in his name. We pray for the repose of Mr. Hamel's soul and for the peace and comfort of his loved ones. Eternal rest grant unto Maurice, O Lord, and let perpetual light shine upon him. May his soul and all the souls of the faithful departed, through the mercy of God, Rest In Peace. Amen.
