Matrimony and Marriage Preparation:
The priests and deacons of our parish are happy to assist you in any way possible in preparing for your marriage. You may ask any priest (if Mass is to be celebrated) or any deacon (if the marriage will be celebrated without a Mass) of this parish. Delegation of jurisdiction to a priest or deacon who is not a member of the Parish Staff is to be granted by the Pastor of St. James. The Diocesan Policy requires that you start your preparation at least nine months prior to your marriage date, so that the necessary religious preparations to assist you in your marriage may be completed well before the wedding itself.

Funerals:
In Catholic funerals, the church seeks to provide spiritual support for the deceased, as well as provide a measure of hope for the family and friends of the deceased. At St. James, we understand that losing a loved one can be overwhelming. We are here to offer both comfort and great hope for the future. We will be glad to assist with the planning of the liturgy and music. Here are some answers to the most commonly asked questions.
