Our Parish

Dedicated & Devoted

Welcome to our St. James Web Site. We encourage you to visit our physical premises at 147 Main Street, Johnson City, NY 13790. You will meet our dedicated staff and devoted parishioners who will delightfully make you feel comfortable.

At St. James we are a people who take pride in the thoughtfulness of our predecessors who over a century ago founded our community of faith. They put in place facilities dedicated to the great glory of God. These have been maintained over the years and passed on as symbols of our rich heritage. We have a beautiful and magnificent church that speaks well of our devotions, communal and private prayer. We have a school building that highlights our dedication to the formation of the young people in the Catholic Tradition.

Participation

Participation

The participation of all in living out the mission of the Church is critical. Through this participation we are made aware of the Lord’s presence and we experience His love and care in a very profound way. This participation also helps us to recognize and continue the legacy of our forefathers of maintaining and passing on the heritage of our faith to future generations. It is our deepest desire and prayer that you join us and be part of this noble cause. We hope that your time with us will be an opportunity to share our faith and the joy we have in Christ Jesus.

Our Mission

St. James is a joyous and welcoming Roman Catholic Community which recognizes the call to live as good stewards of God’s gifts. As a people centered in the Eucharist and rooted in the Gospel, we do this by bringing the presence of Jesus Christ into the local and wider community through works of service and evangelization and being a reflection of God’s love.
