Are you (or do you know) a construction professional? St. James always welcomes the opportunity to connect with contractors, engineers, architects, and interior designers who would be interested in bidding on future work on any of the parish buildings and surrounding property. If you are one of the above, please let us know and the Parish Council will connect you to our Facilities Coordinator to be included in our database of construction professionals.
