The Community Festival is a large parish event that raises substantial funds for community outreach and offers a wonderful occasion for fellowship among parishioners and our neighbors. If you're a newcomer, the Festival is a great way to get to know our parish family. Last year the Festival raised $63,000, which was divided among the St. James' Grants Committee, Episcopal Charities of the Diocese of New York, and the St. James' Womens' Association Stocking Stuffing. This year's benefit evening, The Phantom of St. James', will be held on Wednesday, May7, 2008.
