Beautiful artwork created from vintage Saint James roof tiles will be available through silent auction at our Oktoberfest on October 10. These historic tiles from the original roof have been given new life. Several feature our Rose Window mosaic, and the Blessed Mother. There are secular themed sconces as well. All are stunning.

On this feast day of St. Teresa of Calcutta, we reflect on her words:

"In this life we cannot do great things. We can only do small things with great love."

Your St. Teresa challenge: Do ONE small thing today with great love. Who needs that love from you?

We are delighted to offer free guided tours of our beautiful landmark church after the 10:30 Mass on the last Sundays of the month. The next tour is tomorrow, August 30.

Our church presents one of the finest examples of ecclesiastical art in the nation. From the moment you enter, you are immersed in a devotional atmosphere shaped by its architecture, spiritual symbolism, and masterful craftsmanship.

Learn and marvel at the rare Portasanta marble pillars, the portraits in stained glass, the biblical stories in murals, and more. Every detail speaks of faith, reverence, and divine majesty. At the heart of it all, Christ, enthroned above the main altar, invites us to worship. The goal is to enhance your worship and spiritual life at St. James.

Each month's tour features a different aspect of the arts and architecture of the church. Many tourgoers come back month after month! If interested, meet Dr. John Alfes after Mass tomorrow at the front of the church near the altar.

Our Light for Love evenings have been a blessing for so many people this summer! At Light for Love, this Wednesday, Aug. 26, you can light a candle for someone you love and experience beauty, peace, silence and prayer as you sit with God in the gorgeous, candlelit church. There is no cost, but your prayers before the Blessed Sacrament are priceless! Whether a churchgoer, never been, or it's been a long time...you are welcome here!

Fr. Cam will be available to hear Confessions for those who wish to from approximately 7:05–7:50 p.m. Confession will be offered face-to-face in the glass-doored room at the back of the church.
Come spend time with Jesus and receive His mercy in the Sacrament of Reconciliation.

Afterward stay for Popsicles on the Porch at 8 p.m. on the front steps of the church! Enjoy a free frozen treat, visit with friends, and meet someone new. Everything is free, and everyone is welcome!

What a beautiful celebration for the Feast of St. James on July 26!! At the Feast Day Mass Father Patrick Anderson's inspiring homily featured his recent pilgrimage on the Camino de Santiago. Father Cameron closed with a meaningful Pilgrim Blessing that touched the hearts of everyone present. Following Mass, parishioners and guests enjoyed a special church tour led by Dr John Alfes, focusing on St. James the Greater himself.

Then the celebration continued outdoors with a lively hot dog cookout provided by the Knights of Columbus, along with plenty of refreshments. Kids had a blast with games and face painting, while adults relaxed, socialized, and made new friends.

A special thank‑you to the Knights of Columbus, the Feast Day coordinators and team, our guests from the Northeast Ohio Chapter of American Pilgrims on the Camino and all who made this Feast Day extra meaningful for our parish community.

St. James, pray for us!
