Our Mission

St. James parish was established in 1881 to be a sign of the presence of the Kingdom of God, to spread the Good News of the Gospel, and to minister and serve others. As Catholics, we believe in Jesus' dying and rising and in our call to celebrate the Sacraments and proclaim the Gospel.

Fishing with St. James

May 28, 2023

Veni, Sancte Spiritus

Come, Holy Spirit, come!
And from your celestial home Shed a ray of light divine!
Come, Father of the poor!

 Come, source of all our store!
Come, within our bosoms shine.
You, of comforters the best;

 You, the soul’s most welcome guest;
Sweet refreshment here below;
 In our labor, rest most sweet;

 Grateful coolness in the heat;
Solace in the midst of woe.
O most blessed Light divine,

 Shine within these hearts of yours,
 And our inmost being fill!
Where you are not, we have naught,

 Nothing good in deed or thought,
Nothing free from taint of ill.
Heal our wounds,

 our strength renew;
On our dryness pour your dew;
Wash the stains of guilt away:

 Bend the stubborn heart and will;
Melt the frozen, warm the chill;
Guide the steps that go astray.

 On the faithful, who adore
And confess you, evermore
In your sevenfold gift descend;

 Give them virtue’s sure reward;
Give them your salvation, Lord;
Give them joys that never end. Amen.
Alleluia.

Pescando con St. James

Veni, Sancte Spiritus

Ven, Dios Espíritu Santo,
y envíanos desde el cielo tu luz,
para iluminarnos.

Ven ya, padre de los pobres,
luz que penetra en las almas,
dador de todos los dones.

Fuente de todo consuelo,
 amable huésped de alma,
paz en las horas de duelo.

 Eres pausa en al trabajo;
 brisa, en un clima de fuego;
consuelo, en medio del llanto.

 Ven, luz santificadora,
y entra hasta el fondo del alma
 de todos los que te adoran.

Sin tu inspiración divina los hombres nada
podemos y el pecado nos domina.

Lava nuestras inmundicias,
 fecunda nuestras desiertos
y cura nuestras heridas.

 Doblega nuestra soberbia,
calienta nuestras frialdad,
endereza nuestras sendas.

Concede a aquellos que ponen
en ti su fe y su confianza
tus siete sagrados dones.

Danos virtudes y méritos,
danos una buena muerte
y contigo el gozo eterno. Amen.

Aleluya
