ANNOUNCEMENTS


OUR MISSION

At St. James we put our faith into action; we are committed to promoting vocations; we are prolife & pro-family; we support life-long faith formation; we are faithful to the liturgy of the Church; and we offer hundreds of opportunities every year to grow in faith and mercy.

Whether you just joined the parish or have been here for years, we ask all parishioners to be active members of our faith community.


 

Cold Weather Shelter

It is now easier than ever to help those in need with emergency shelter!  JCCM is staffing a  24/7 shelter for 18 clients who are receiving life-building classes to help them get back on their feet.  But they need volunteers to help during the hours their office is closed and to bring meal assistance for breakfast or lunch 

 
If you can help, please use the following links to sign up for whatever help is convenient for you!
