This site is to celebrate the role that St. James plays for so many in the community as well as regular and periodic visitors. Many come for the azure skies, the clean and quiet beaches, the warm hospitality, great food, peace and tranquility, and they leave with warm and enduring memories of the simple, yet moving services at St. James.
