St. James Parish is holding a Market Day at the 7th District Park in South Vacherie this Saturday, April 26, from 8 a.m. to 1 p.m. The park is located off Hwy. 643, past First American Bank, at Jake Gravois Street. This is another attempt by our parish staff to host this event on the west bank, this time in District 7. Many of the regular vendors have already applied to be there. If we want things like this to take place in our community, we must support it and we must support the vendors. There are useful arts and crafts, hobby ideas and lots of all kinds of savory and sweet food. Please try to attend this Saturday.

HAPPY EASTER: It’s Holy Week, my favorite time of the year. I love the pageantry of the Holy Week celebrations beginning with Palm Sunday and continuing through to Easter Sunday. The climax of the Easter services happens on Saturday evening starting at sundown or eight o’clock. This year at my church we are welcoming seven adults into the Catholic Church as new members. We were together in retreat Sunday afternoon and I am so very proud of all of them. The number of people returning to or joining the Catholic church is the highest it has been in many years. This year there are 17,000 entering the Church in France alone. What an exciting time of year. I saw on television a fast and easy way to dye marshmallows that I am hoping to try. All you must do is mix food coloring in water and then dip a fluffy white marshmallow for about two or three seconds. Let them dry out and enjoy a snack.
