Before Carroll’s passing in early October of this year, she wrote a reflection on how St. James has made an impact in her life. Her sweet spirit, giving nature and dedication were some of the gifts she shared with our parish. She was our gift from God and we will treasure her memory for years to come.

Since becoming involved at St. James through being asked by Margaret Butler to teach children in the Atrium, I have found so much joy in sharing my gifts. I have participated in many ministries—such as the Outreach Committee, the Altar Guild, and mission trips to Honduras. 

The St. James Family is a fun, friendly and caring group.  There are many ways to learn and grow through prayer, meditation, and help from others. These gifts help provide More Than Enough.
