Bishop Kemme will come to St. James Catholic Church on September 15, 2018 at the 5:00 pm Mass to formally Install Father John Hay as Pastor of St. James the Greater Catholic Church. This is a beautiful and significant moment in the life of the parish Church, not only to welcome a new Pastor, but to welcome our diocesan Shepherd, Bishop Kemme

Fr. John will be offering a series called Credo (the word means “I believe”). These series of talks are going to be offered throughout the year, and are intended for the whole parish, so that parishioners might develop their Faith and grow spiritually.

At the beginning of the summer, St. James began to work on giving high school youth their own designated space, not only for weekly high school youth group on Wednesday evenings during the school year, but also to open its door each day after high school for students to study, enjoy fellowship, snacks, coffee and the new high speed internet service. Students can use computers in the Upper Room or bring their own and print their assignments and homework for free. Fr. John, along with Grace Allen, Avin and John George have been working on the new youth program and room, so it is all ready when school begins!
