Unleash the Gospel – The New Evangelization is unfolding and breathing new life into the Church in Detroit. Unleash the Gospel is a major push to change the DNA of the Church in Detroit to one of a Body of Christ on mission. What we are attempting is nothing less than a radical overhaul of the Church in Detroit, a complete reversal of our focus from inward, or maintenance-focused, to outward, or mission-focused.

Did you hear parishioner Heather Krill before the Masses on Saturday and Sunday? Well if you didn't, then watch this video by the chairperson of St. James' Evangelization Committee. She wants to know if you want to enliven your Catholic faith this upcoming Lent. During Lent, St. James will begin the Living the Eucharist program for those wanting to pray with scripture in small groups. If you are interested, please contact Heather Krill at [email protected]

Merry Christmas to all!
