And let us consider how to provoke one another to love and good deeds, not neglecting to meet together, as is the habit of some, but
encouraging one another, and all the more as you see the Day approaching Hebrews 10:24-25 (NRSV)
Welcome to St. James Anglican Church, A place for Worship, Caring, Learning and Fun.
A Christian Family attending a place of Worship,
Caring, Learning and Fun.
The Rev'd Catherine Desloges and husband Brian, joined St. James in 1987. They raised their two children, Sylvia and Mark, at St. James, appreciating the warmth and the love of the community. Catherine became a lay reader in 1995 and then, answering God's call, was ordained in 2002. Her position is that of Associate Priest, which she has maintained from that date until the present. She is a member of CAPP, which is the Community of Associate Parish Priests. This is a volunteer position.

The Rev'd Dr. John Roddam and his wife, Holly joined St. James on Nov. 1, 2017. He was born and grew up in Nova Scotia. After graduating with honors from Pictou Academy, he attended Acadia University in Wolville, NS where he earned a B.SC., majoring in Chemistry. John's conversion came in 1978 and he immediately felt a call to ministry. After earning an M.Div. from Acadia Divinity College, John studied at SCUPE (Seminary Consortium for Urban Pastoral Education) in Chicago. He later received a Doctor of Ministry degree from Fuller Seminary in Pasadena, CA.
John has served in several parishes in Nova Scotia, served in parishes on the West Coast, in Seattle and now will be joining us here at St. James.
John has a passion for, and can quite often be found reading on the history of Revival/Spiritual Awakening. A musician, he plays both piano and guitar. Holly (Nana Holly and John (Papa John) are thrilled to be grandparents of three awesome young ladies.
Welcome John & Holly to the Parish of St. James.
