Next of Kin Contact details

We have been thinking that it would be a good idea
to keep a list of Parishioner's next of kin.
Would you like us to keep your next of kin details in the office, so that we can contact them in the event of an emergency?
If you wish please email or bring a list of telephone numbers, emails and any other information you feel might be helpful, and we will keep it on file in the office.
This information will be held in the confidence and used only in the event of an emergency.

Do you know of an Onlus (non profit organization) in Tuscany that would benefit from St James support?
We need your suggestions for local outreach donations to be made in 2014. There are so many wonderful organizations in the Province of Florence, run primarily by volunteers, which actively help the community. This is an opportunity for St. James to help them in their work.
The deadline for submissions is September 30.

Picasso and Spanish Modernity
| 
|
Where & When
Date: 20 September to 25 January 2015.
Location:Palazzo Strozzi
|
|

As of 20 September 2014 Palazzo Strozzi in Florence will be focusing on modern art once again with a major new event devoted to one of the greatest masters of 20th century painting, Pablo Picasso.
The exhibition will present a broad selection of works by this great master of modern art in an effort to stimulate a reflection on his influence and interaction with such leading Spanish artists as Joan Miró, Salvador Dalí, Juan Gris, Maria Blanchard and Julio González: art reflecting on art and on the relationship between the real and the surreal, the artist's heartfelt involvement in the tragedy of unfolding history, the emergence of the monster with a human face, and the metaphor of erotic desire as a primary source of inspiration for the artist's creativity and world vision.
