St. James Catholic Church is guided by a collegial partnership of laity, pastor, and ministerial staff.
The leadership at St. James is made up of the Pastors, the Pastoral Council, the pastoral staff, and four branches of ministry commission: Liturgy, Education, Groups and Social Care Ministries.
Each commission meets regularly to coordinate the ministries within its area, support the work of the committees with the commission, make decisions appropriate to its function in the parish, and engage in consultation about pastoral matters with the Pastoral Council.
