Our mission is to share our faith with the families who attend St. James Religious Education. Our Catholic Faith which is based on the love of the Trinity being shared with one another as we examine the four pillars of the Catholic Church: the Creed, Prayer, the Sacraments and Morality. We examine these pillars by examining the life of Jesus Christ and the way his followers lived their faith as the early church grew to love one another.
