There are many ministries at St. James. Here are some of them:
 Catholics Returning Home
If you are a baptized Catholic who is curious about returning to the Church, please join us. Ask questions about what the Catholic Church teaches. Explore returning to an active faith life in the Church within a nonjudgmental, caring small community. Listen and share as seekers and team members discuss issues and pray together. A five week session during Lent will meet from 7:00pm to 8:30pm. Call for specific dates of sessions.

Guadalupana Association
The Guadalupana Association is a secular religious association with apostolic purpose. We try to bring better understanding and faith to Our Lady of Guadalupe.
Liturgy Committee
Meets 4th Tuesday of the month at 7:30pm. This large group plans and prepares the many varied components of our beautiful liturgies. Coordination of the Advent and Lent liturgies is particularly complex. We often call upon volunteers to help make those liturgies the most inclusive and enriching as possible. Please help when called.
 Women's Guild
The Women's Guild builds community spirit. We are a group of women who are spiritual, very social, and serve our parish. The Guild generously supports charities for women and children. It is a group of women reaching out to women. We invite all women of the parish over 21 to join us.

Listen and let it Penetrate Your Heart...
Listen and let it penetrate your heart my dear child.
Do not be troubled or weighed down with grief.
Do not fear any illness or vexation, anxiety or pain.
Am I not here who am your Mother?
Are you not under my shadow and protection?
Am I not your fountain of life?
Are you not in the folds of my mantle?
In the crossing of my arms?
Is there anything else you need?”
(Our Lady’s words to her servant St. Juan Diego when she appeared to him in 1531.)
