Retreats at Saint James
Day or Weekend Get-aways Focused on Growing
Throughout the year, Saint James offers several retreat opportunities. A favorite among parishioners is our daylong parish-wide retreat that is open to parishioners of all ages, with programming for children, youth, and adults. We also offer opportunities for smaller retreats at retreat centers in the area that are focused on spiritual growth and practices.
