We are in the midst of an exciting year at St. James Parish as we consolidate our parish school and formation center into a single state-of-the-art facility where both school families and parish families can grow deeper in their faith with God.

The St. James family is a welcoming Catholic community sent forth from our celebration of the Eucharist to walk in faith, to live in hope, and act in love.

As disciples of Jesus Christ we are committed to justice and peace through prayer, education, evangelization, and stewardship.
