Clergy & Staff

The Saint James staff is happy to assist you! Whether you’ve been here a year or your entire life, we are committed to serving you, the people of Saint James.

Each of us is called to be a Gospel Witness; for many, this witness is shown outwardly by a religious vocation.

At Saint James, we are fortunate to have several priests and sisters who work daily to bring the joyful message of the Resurrection to all in our community. 

We can be found both in the Rectory at 905 Park Avenue and in the Parish House, which is right next door. Our Religious Education office is in the school at 830 W. Broad Street.

Religious Staff

We are blessed to have Sister, Servants of the Immaculate Heart of Mary, serving in our parish and school. 

In the hidden recesses of the human heart the grace of a vocation takes the form of a dialogue. It is a dialogue between Christ and an individual, in which a personal invitation is given. Christ calls the person by name and says: “Come, follow me.” This call, this mysterious inner voice of Christ, is heard most clearly in silence and prayer. Its acceptance is an act of faith.
