About this church

Saint James Roman Catholic Church is a Diocese of Erie parish on Buffalo Road in Erie, and it shares parish life with its sister church, St. Mark the Evangelist. Weekend Masses are Saturday at 5 p.m. and 7 p.m. and Sunday at 7:30 a.m., 11:30 a.m. and 5 p.m., with a 9:30 a.m. Sunday Mass celebrated at St. Mark. The Saturday 5 p.m. Mass is livestreamed. Weekday Mass is at 7 a.m. Monday through Friday and 8 a.m. on Saturday, with an added 5:15 p.m. Mass on First Fridays. Confessions are heard Saturday from 4 to 4:30 p.m. in the Mother's Chapel.

Faith formation includes Saturday-morning religious education for kindergarten through fifth grade at St. James School, the Edge program for grades six through eight, confirmation classes for grades nine and ten, a youth group, and OCIA for adults interested in becoming Catholic. A parish Bible study group meets Monday evenings at St. James Place. Outreach is a large part of parish life: a food pantry distributes groceries twice a month from the rectory and keeps emergency food boxes on hand, a team of volunteers bakes for the Emmaus Soup Kitchen, and a prayer shawl group knits and crochets for people in need. Newcomers can register through the parish office at (814) 899-6178. Schedules can change, so confirm times on the website.
