St. James Catholic Church

About this church

St. James Catholic Church serves Searcy from 1102 Pioneer Road. Weekend Mass is celebrated Saturday at 5:30 p.m., Sunday at 9:00 a.m. in English, and Sunday at 11:30 a.m. in Spanish. The parish also publishes weekday Mass, Eucharistic adoration on Thursday and Friday, and Reconciliation on Sunday at 8:00 a.m., Wednesday at 5:00 p.m., and Thursday at 6:00 p.m. Rosary begins thirty minutes before each weekend Mass. Since holy days and parish events alter the calendar, visitors should check the homepage notices as well as the regular schedule.

The parish traces Catholic life in Searcy back to 1928, when only two Catholics were recorded in town. Parishioners purchased the present ten-acre site in 1960; the first Mass in a new church was held on Christmas Eve 1966, and today’s attached sanctuary was dedicated in 2008. St. James describes itself as a Catholic family caring for members and neighbors spiritually, morally, and materially. Faith formation, the Ladies Guild, Vincentian service, senior fellowship, and campus ministry broaden parish life. The campus ministry supports college students through Mass, retreats, social events, service projects, and spiritual resources, while the bilingual Sunday schedule serves both English- and Spanish-speaking households.
