St. James the Apostle Roman Catholic Church

We will kick off 40 Days For Life 6:00PM on September 23rd with a prayer service in the the Church. Everyone is welcome including non catholics and if you are a pro-choice person, we invite you as well to come and pray with us.

We have a guest speaker Ms Jeanne Whitely from Foundations of Life Pregnancy Center.

St James’ parish date to pray the Rosary and give public witness at the Clearwater abortion facility is on Monday October 26 until 3PM we have 2 hour shifts available. If you have never joined us before or you are nervous about it, all we do is simply pray outside on US 19, we never engage anyone. It is prayerful, peaceful and non-confrontatinal. Contact Pat Mermelstien for more details [email protected]

Pat Mermelstien will be the shift leader on-site from 1pm to 3pm. There will be sign up sheets in the Narthex of the Church soon...

Folks participating  will again have to sign a waiver stating their intention to comply with all diocesan guidelines.
