What's New at Saint James'

Parish Profile
Please note that as we move forward with the Rev. Abi John serving both St. John’s in Catherine and St. James in Watkins Glen, Rev. Abi will need to obtain a new visa that is required.  This process requires Rev. Abi John and his family to travel back to India.  Their trip could last a couple of months or more, until the visa is granted for their return.  We commend them to your daily prayers.
