Parish Mission Statement
At Saint James Catholic Church, we exist to proclaim the Gospel of Jesus Christ. As we strive to proclaim the gospel, we remain aware and committed to evangelization: living, manifesting and embodying the message of Jesus Christ and of His Church on a diocesan, parish, and personal level. Evangelization relates to everything we do as we respond to a growing and diverse Catholic community. We must reach out to the many alienated and un-churched among us, as well as work for Christian unity through ecumenical/interfaith partnerships. We must work to develop appropriate means to pass on the gift of faith to succeeding generations. Evangelization permeates all of our goals.

SECOND SUNDAY OF ADVENT
Altar Flowers We appreciate all the interest that we have had in parishioners contributing flowers in honor or memory of their loved ones. Your contributions have mostly paid for all the flowers that we have en-joyed in our Church. Now that we are in the Advent Season, we have minimal flowers in Church until Christmas. If you will please use the flower contribution envelopes that are included with the ones that are mailed each month to cover the Christmas Celebration Flowers (which usually last until the Lenten Season- during which we have no flowers in Church). These envelopes also cover the Easter Lilies. After Easter, we will be accepting your flower contributions again for your loved ones. Thank you so much for all your interest. God Bless all of You !! St. James Altar Society Social Concerns Ministry Men’s Homeless Shelter is now open providing a safe, warm place to sleep, shower, have a hot meal and break-fast.
