About Our Church

A welcoming Catholic parish rooted in Christ’s love, serving the community through worship, fellowship, service, and spiritual growth together.

A Welcoming Parish Family Rooted in Christ’s Love and Grace.

We are a welcoming and vibrant Roman Catholic community in the heart of Peckham Rye. Rooted in the love of Christ and the teachings of the Church, St. James the Great is a spiritual home for people of all ages, backgrounds, and walks of life.

We come together as one family to worship God in the Holy Eucharist, to grow in faith and holiness, and to support one another in living out the Gospel in our daily lives. Whether you are a lifelong Catholic, returning to the Church, or simply seeking, you are welcome here.

Proclaiming the Gospel Through Worship, Service, and Faithful Community Living.

Our mission is to proclaim the Good News of Jesus Christ through word, sacrament, and service. We strive to:

  • dummy Celebrate the sacraments with reverence and joy.
  • dummy Nourish and deepen our faith through prayer, catechesis, and community life.
  • dummy Serve the needs of our parish and local community with love and compassion.
  • dummy Be a beacon of hope and a witness to the transforming power of God’s mercy and grace.

Building a Joyful, United Church Reflecting God’s Kingdom on Earth.

We envision a parish that radiates the love of Christ and inspires all to follow Him more closely. We seek to build a stronger, more united community of faith that:.

  • dummy Welcomes everyone as members of the Body of Christ.
  • dummy Encourages spiritual growth and active participation in the life of the Church.
  • dummy Responds generously to the needs of our neighbours and the wider world.
  • dummy Prepares future generations to live as faithful disciples and witnesses of Christ’s Kingdom.
