About our Parishes

We are dedicated to serving the community through the Roman Catholic Church. Our parishes are committed to providing spiritual guidance, support, and a welcoming environment to all who seek faith. 

As parishioners of St. James and St. Mary of Mount Carmel Parishes, we are called as stewards to celebrate the presence of Christ in our life as we worship together in prayer, in liturgy and in the sacraments.  We endeavor to strengthen our Catholic faith and Christian service as individuals, as families, and as a parish community as we seek to spread the teachings of Christ through our words, through our witness, and through our actions.

Our Mission: 

To strive to live as disciples of Christ.
