Our, Charity, Justice and Peacemaking ministry here at St. James is multifaceted with many different opportunities for involvement. In other works, there is something for everyone! We believe it is our mission to live Matthew 25: to feed the jungry, clothe the naked, visit the sick and those in prison. We also believe James 2: that faith without works is dead. Our faith calls us to serve those in need and we support the need for both contemplation and action in our faith journey. Pope Francis has said, "works of love directed to one's neighbor are the most perfect external manifestation of the interior grace of the Spirit." This, in essence, is what Social Justice means.
We invite you to get involved. Take a look at the many opportunites to live your faith and get involved in social justice at St. James on the Social Outreach page.
It is diocesan policy that any person over the age of 18 who wishes to volunteer at the parish must have up-to-date Virtus training. If you are unsure of the status of your training, please contact Paul Fasold at the St. James parish center. For more information on Virtus Training, click here. https://www.bridgeportdiocese.
