Celestial Beings call us to worship the Babe just like the shepherds that night so long ago. Click to view a photo album from our festive parish Christmas dinner. Merry Christmas from Fr. Koys, Fr. Coleman, Fr. Haynes and everyone at St. James!

This year Fr Koys would like to help the refugees. We don’t have wish lists, so we will make gift bags with small Catholic items & provide a $50 gift card in each of 100 bags. Could you help with a $50 gift card or donate any amount of money and we will pick up the cards. We will be giving these people in need a means to obtain food, clothes, or gifts. Look for a special envelope in church and then drop it in the collection basket or the box in back of church no later than Dec 11.

If you missed the recent Foster the Faith sale, you can still enjoy a slideshow gallery of Fr. Koys' original works of art by clicking here.

Thank you to all the women and girls who participated in our Advent tea by sharing a tradition and a treat. Click to view the photo album.
