Pastoral Care

At the center of every pastoral ministry at St. James is the mystery of giving and receiving. Sometimes we need the companionship and ministry of our neighbors. Often we can make gifts of our time, help, care and hospitality to each other. In every pastoral ministry and encounter, we embody the Good News of Jesus Christ, which is that God is as near to you as your neighbor.

At St. James Cathedral we offer a variety of pastoral ministries:

v Baptisms

v Confirmations and Receptions into the Church

v Funerals

v Ministry to the sick in hospitals and homes

v Pastoral Visits and Emergencies

v Sacrament of reconciliation

v Prayer Network in times of joy, thanksgiving, need and crisis

v Weddings
