St James is a vibrant, culturally diverse, parish at the heart of life in Paddington.
We are a church which teaches and proclaims the fullness of Catholic faith in Jesus Christ as Lord and Saviour.
Our principle act of worship is the 1030 Parish Mass, celebrated with full ceremonial, choir, organ, solemnity and beauty, warmth and welcome.
Every fortnight there is a Family Mass at 1215.
And every Sunday, we end our Sabbath observance with Evensong and Benediction.
Mass is celebrated every day. See poster for details of times of services.

We continue the season of Christmastide with the feast of the Epiphany of the Lord. Join us for High Mass at 10.30am. Our Epiphany Carols follow at 6pm, with festive refreshments afterwards.

The music this Sunday is:

Setting: Missa Brevis in B flat, KV 275 – Mozart
Motet: Reges Tharsis – Sheppard
Voluntary: Wie schön leuchtet der Morgenstern – Pachelbel

You, your family, and your friends are invited into a celebration of music and God's holy word during the festive season. Each of our services is followed by seasonal refreshments and an opportunity to share fellowship and friendship as we enter into the mystery of the Christ-child!
