St. James the Apostle Catholic Church

About this church

St. James the Apostle Catholic Church in McDonough celebrates a 4:00 p.m. Saturday vigil and Sunday Mass at 8:30 and 11:00 a.m. and 5:00 p.m. Weekday Mass is Monday through Friday at 8:30 a.m., with an additional Wednesday Mass at 6:30 p.m. The multiethnic parish, founded in 1971, serves more than 1,800 families and identifies itself as Henry County's only Catholic parish.

A cry room is available at every Mass. Eucharistic Adoration, Wednesday and Saturday confession, religious education, OCIA, sacramental preparation, preschool, music, prayer groups, young adults, homebound ministry, St. Vincent de Paul, and the Knights of Columbus form a substantial parish life. EDGE meets after the 11:00 Mass, Life Teen after the 5:00 Mass, and high-school Pizza, Prayer and Frisbee runs Wednesdays from 6:00 to 7:30. Visitors may dress across a casual-to-traditional range, and there is no expectation that guests contribute to the offering. Families should match youth programs to the appropriate Mass.
