 Silent Night from the choir loft, Christmas Eve service 2025. This Sunday, January 11:
Budget Presentation with Q&A at 9 a.m. We will be offering a detailed budget presentation with the opportunity for question and answer on Sunday, January 11 at 9 a.m. in the Whiteman Room. We hope you will join us. Epiphany Blessing of Chalk and of Homes: Today we will bless chalk, and you are invited to take some to chalk your homes. It has been a tradition in various Catholic churches to bless chalk at Epiphanytide and use the chalk for the blessing of homes for the New Year. Use the chalk to bless your home in this way: Write above or alongside the door: “20 + C + M + B + 26” - 20 and 26 represent the year, and C, M, and B represent both the phrase Christus Mansionem Benedicat, the latin words meaning “May Christ Bless this Home” (as well as representing the traditional names of the magi who visited Jesus, Caspar, Melchior, and Balthazar), or for a simpler approach, you may simply write a cross, “+”. As you are writing, pray one or both of the following prayers: Loving God, visit our home. May there be no evil here. May your holy angels dwell here. And keep all who live here in peace. May you bless us evermore. Amen. Loving God, may all who come to our home this year rejoice to find the love of Christ here; and may we seek and serve, in everyone we meet, that same Jesus who is your incarnate Word, now and forever. Amen. Coffee & Conversation at 11:30 a.m. & Seeking Volunteers Join us for coffee and conversations in the Whiteman Room & Cloisters on the following Sundays: January 11; February 1; March 8; April 12; May 3; May 24 (Pentecost); June 7 (Bishop Visitation).

Coming Soon January 19 at 10 a.m. - Bending Toward Justice 2026 The Diocese of Western Massachusetts Social Justice Commission invites you to a festive Eucharist at Christ Church Cathedral to celebrate the life and ministry of the Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. Please join us in-person or via livestream on Monday, January 19th at 10:00 a.m. In an early video, Bishop Fisher challenged us to consider MLK Jr. Day as a "day on" rather than a "day off." Many choose to model faith in action to honor the man who was a prophet of God's dream and suffered incarceration and for the Gospel. In preparation for this day, we ask you to commit to action, service or advocacy during the week before or after January 19 - MLK Jr. Day. You can share your commitment via the online form below. Our commitments will be printed out and brought to the altar at the offertory - a tangible symbol of our collective "day on" and our rejection of all that is unjust in our time. The form lists ten possibilities for action, service, or advocacy. You can check one or as many as you feel able to do. You can also add your own local idea, if you prefer. In-person or online, be empowered by the Eucharist to move beyond the cathedral walls as living stones. Commitment Form.

We anticipate transitioning into our worship at approximately 10:30 a.m. Please note, we do not plan to print any hard copies of the report as it will be made available on our website. If you do not have access to a computer and need a printed copy, please email the office. Please note the review of the budget will be briefer than in previous years, as we are providing a Budget Presentation with Q&A on January 11 at 9 a.m. in the Whiteman Room. January 29 at 8 a.m. - Morning Prayer with Native Saints The Province 1 Indigenous Peoples Justice Network invites you to celebrate Native saints. Register to receive Zoom access for the online gathering on January 29th at 8 am EST. Morning Prayer honoring Liliʻuokalani of Hawai’i will be led by Allison Peaceful Deer Miller.

Our essentials pantry ministry provides free products such as toilet paper, shampoo and toothpaste during the Second Helpings meal on the last Monday of each month. Volunteers set up the tables, assist guests in selecting what they need, and then clear up afterward. It is neither difficult nor time-consuming, and interacting with our guests is an enjoyable way to participate in the community-building ministry of Saints James and Andrew. Peter Massa ([email protected] or (413) 519-7244) would be delighted to answer your questions or to include you in the schedule of volunteers! NEW Contact Information for Rector A new year brings new contact information. Rev. Heather is shifting from a personal email to [email protected] for church related communications.

Donations for The Heartwing Center Saint Andrew’s Guild Stitchers have made animal themed book bags to donate to the Family Center Preschool Group at the Heartwing Center. We will bless and deliver them today, Gaudete Sunday. If you've brought a preschool bag to share, please add it to the altar. About The Heartwing Center: In October 1993, in response to violence in the Turners Falls community, caring members of several local parishes bonded together to create the “Outreach Project” to immediately assist a community in crisis. Some years later, the name evolved to Montague Catholic Social Ministries. While their roots in community service began with Catholic volunteers and the tireless work of local parishes, in 2024, they renamed the organization to better reflect who they are and the nondenominational, inclusive nature of their programming. Today, they are The Heartwing Center.
