A Welcoming
Community of Faith
Under the guidance of the Holy Spirit as a welcoming and diverse community, We, the Parish of Saint James the Apostle invite all to worship as we celebrate the Eucharist, proclaim the Good News of Jesus Christ, and serve the needs of one another, as we help build the Kingdom of God on Earth.
NEWS AND MESSAGES
In Memory of Maria S. Santos
It is with heavy hearts that we announce the passing of Maria Soledade, mother of Fr. David Santos, who left us after a courageous battle with leukemia. Her strength, love, and deep faith left a lasting impression on all who knew her.
Pastor’s Column
Our first reading from the Book of Numbers and our reading from the Gospel of Mark, both point to a very interesting topic. That is, the problem when we lose sight of our MISSION and we become our own worst enemy.

Reflection on the Readings
We recognize that we are at a turning point upon which the future will revolve. Once committed to “this” path, there is no turning back.
Pastor’s Column
I pray that you and your loved ones are enjoying a restful summer. As I mentioned in a recent pastor’s column, it is important for us to take time to rest and recharge
Reflection on the Readings
I can’t remember meeting a Christian who doesn’t appreciate the moral necessity to assist the disadvantaged by sharing resources.
