Nativity Reading
Join Our Psalms Reading Journey to the Nativity
As we prepare our hearts for the Nativity of Christ, we invite you to participate in a special Psalms reading plan. Our guide, titled "Psalms to the Nativity," leads us through the Book of Psalms with designated rest days for reflection.
Let’s come together as a community to deepen our faith and celebrate the season with the wisdom and solace of the Psalms.
May this journey enrich our faith and bring peace to all.

in the community
For the 4th quarter 2024, we will be collecting canned vegetables. Donations can be dropped off in the Parish Hall.
Parish family and friends of St. James gather to beautify God's creation. Cleanup is a challenge, but always a blessing as we serve Our Lord and our community.
Next clean up is scheduled for
Spring 2024
This ministry is dedicated to creating and donating handmade baby hats and blankets to Carroll Hospital's Family Birth Place. Volunteers gather in fellowship to knit these items, which are then lovingly distributed to newborns and their families, providing warmth and care during a special time of life.
