As we embark on the next phase of renewal at St. James the Greater, we reflect on the foundational message that every parishioner is called, matters, and belongs. Inspired by Bishop McGrattan’s experience at the Synod of Bishops and guided by the principles of the early Church, we have recognized the importance of each individual’s voice in shaping our future. Through your involvement, expressing your valued opinions, and sharing your unique gifts, we have been challenged to build a stronger community rooted in grace, prayer, communion, formation, outreach, and leadership. Now, with a renewed spirit of hope, we are ready to move forward, together, to continue building a parish that inspires us all and welcomes others to join our faith journey.
