Our office staff will verify that your address is within parish boundaries and confirms your registration.

Parking

Keep a copy of the St. James campus map in your car or on your mobile device for easy reference about where to park on Sundays and for other events. Out of respect for our neighbors, please avoid parking on the north side of Park Avenue which may result in a ticket. This is a list of available parking:

  • A Lot – on the corner of Park Avenue and Spring Street
    • Note that Spring Street between the church and school is ONE WAY only
  • B Lot – on the corner of Park Avenue and Oak Street
    • Has a black fence around it. The main gym entrance is from this parking lot.
  • C Lot – on Broad Street, in front of the School
    • To the right of the School main entrance
  • Parish House Parking Lot (house has a wooden ramp) – at 913 Park Avenue
    • For street parking, do not park too close to the driveway for safety reasons
  • Founders Row Garage – SUNDAY MORNINGS ONLY – the top level only (beside the Parish House)

Our neighbors at Founders Row, beside the Parish House, have given us additional reserved parking in their garage on Sunday mornings. The parking on the top floor of the Founder’s Row garage is effective only Sunday mornings until 1:00pm (7:30am, 9:00am, 10:30am, and noon Masses.) Signage clearly states that the spaces are reserved for St. James on Sunday mornings. Parishioners who wish to park there should enter Founders Avenue, either from Broad Street or Park Avenue.   

From Founders Avenue, turn into the parking garage entrance next to the Modera offices (big sign).  Once in the parking garage, turn to the left and follow the overhead signs that say “Ramp Up – Additional Parking” – this will involve an eventual right turn, then go straight to the back and turn up the ramp to the right.  You’ll make another right at the top of the ramp, and then you will see the signs on the pillars saying, “St. James Church Parking Sundays 7:00am to 1:00pm.”  There is one set of elevators to take you back down after leaving your car. Leaving from the parking garage allows you to exit on Broad Street and miss all the traffic on Park Avenue.
