Saint James' Church

Saint James' Church is a Roman Catholic church at 3901 Troost Avenue in Kansas City, MO 64110. It is one of 783 churches in Kansas City, and one of 23 Roman Catholic congregations in the city.

It is our prayer that you will decide to journey with us toward becoming a beacon of light and hope to each other and to those we serve and a vision of what the future synodal church will be.

St. James is a dynamic, Synodal, Vatican II, Catholic parish that embraces social justice. Small enough to know your name and big enough to make a difference.

Saint James' Church is part of the Catholic family of churches in The American Church Story. 449 congregations of the Catholic family gather across Missouri — 18,927 across the United States on The Church Map.

From the Catholic Church the whole body received the canon of Scripture, the creeds still recited every Sunday in traditions that never look to Rome, and monasteries that kept learning and Scripture alive through a thousand unlit years. Its parishes remain the largest network of schools, hospitals, and shelters in America, most of them serving people who will never attend a Mass.
