 What you need to know! Who may attend, where will I sleep, what will I eat, who facilitates the retreat, will I get to Mass? All parishioners 19 years of age and older are encouraged to attend a CRHP weekend. It is held at our parish hall, the classrooms are transformed into the St. James Hilton with air mattresses, cots and sleeping bags. It’s really quite comfortable for an overnight stay.
Meals are provided by the parish, you don’t even have to do dishes. This weekend is being presented by our own parish teams. Come prepared to have fun and renew your heart.
The process is centered around reflection by team members with emphasis on small group discussion and activities. You will be free to share as much or as little as you feel comfortable with. Sacraments are part of the weekend along with plenty of reflection and prayer time. Please join us for a life changing, spiritual renewal.
Women’s weekend: August 21-22, Men’s weekend: August 28-29.
Click above on the retreat date to complete an online registration form, call the parish office for a reservation form, or pick one up in the church vestibule.

 St. James the Greater Parish Community is delighted to announce the addition of two new beautiful statues to our already scenic cemetery located on Gold Hill Road in Concord. We hope that these statues representing the Pieta and the Resurrected Christ will bring peace and hope to all those mourning the loss of a loved one buried at this location.
The statues were dedicated and blessed by our pastor Rev. Joseph Dionne C.Ss.R prior to a special memorial Mass at the cemetery on Monday, May 31, 2010. This Mass intention was for all those parishioners interned there. St. James Parish plans to make this Memorial Day Mass an annual event to honor our deceased.
All this was possible thanks to the generosity of Dennis Durand and the Cemetery Ministry Volunteers- Nick Parette, Andy Chopko, Paul Jordan, James Lentz, BJ McCormick, Art Bunting, Joe Chirco, Andy Ferraro, Peter Franzese, Peter Kelnhofer and Dick Bensler. May God bless you all for your stewardship.
