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

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.
