Livestream
St. James Parish is delighted to offer a livestream of our 11:00 AM Sunday service on our YouTube channel. We understand that not everyone can be physically present with us each week, and we want to ensure that our community remains connected and engaged, regardless of location. Whether you are traveling, feeling unwell, or simply prefer to worship from the comfort of your home, you can still participate in our service and experience the warmth and fellowship of St. James.
Our livestream aims to bring the spirit of our worship directly to you, featuring the readings, the homily, the music, and the prayers that are central to our celebration. It’s an opportunity to stay connected to your St. James family, to receive spiritual nourishment, and to share in the communal worship that sustains us.
We invite you to join us virtually each Sunday at 11:00 AM. You can find the livestream on our YouTube channel. We hope this ministry enhances your spiritual journey and allows you to remain an active part of our parish life. All are welcome.
