St. James celebrated its 30th anniversary in September 2019 as a parish of the Archdiocese of Detroit. We have grown from a few hundred families meeting for Sunday Mass at Parkview Elementary School, to our current enrollment of about 2,700 families or households. Our population really exploded when we moved into our permanent home in the fall of 1993. We continue to grow and have completed a Parish Family Life Center which enhances our sense of community and family. Our Parish Family Center has religious education classrooms; a gymnasium; an enhanced kitchen; and meeting spaces. A long-awaited opening and ribbon-cutting took place on January 28, 2006. While we continue to be a “growing parish family,” we also desire to be a parish community where “all are welcome!”
