ST. JAMES SENTINEL- Long ago, sentinels were stationed on the walls of ancient cities where they stood watch and  provided warnings of the approach of potential enemies or threats. The safety of all the citizens was dependent on their solemn oath to "watch out" for them. At specific intervals of time, they routinely called out to one another to make sure everyone remained awake and that no harm would befall anyone under their watch. Cries of warning (or of good cheer) were routinely  shouted from one to another and repeated until they echoed completely around the city. 

Our new weekly email publication, appropriately named the "St. James Sentinel" will perform  a similar function. It will continue to relay much of the same important information previously  published in the St. James Weekly Update, but with increased emphasis on remembering our past, living the present, and preparing for our future.
