Welcome to
St. James Catholic Church
The Church, in Christ, is like a sacrament - a sign and
instrument, that is, of communion with God and of unity among all men. The
Church's first purpose is to be the sacrament of the inner union of men with
God. (CCC,#775) As a sacrament, the Church is Christ's instrument. "She is taken
up by him also as the instrument for the salvation of all," "the universal
sacrament of salvation," by which Christ is "at once manifestin and actualizing
the mystery of God's love for men." (CCC,#776)
