Mission Statement
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.
