Outreach
St. James Parish is deeply involved with the community. We believe we can only build a stronger community by working together. We put the motto of “Love your neighbor as yourself” at the forefront of our work! We want to take a moment to introduce you to our Outreach Commission Lay Leaders and some of our Outreach Partners. Together we can build a stronger community. If you are interested in serving or would like to know more about these and the many other ways St. James’ parishioners serve the greater Wilmington area, please contact [email protected] or call our office!
