St. James School

Community Engagement Ministry Partner

St. James School serves the immediate under-resourced area of Ridge/Allegheny/Hunting Park. The school (grades 4-8) provides a private school education worth approximately $30k per student to nearly ninety students per year at minimal to no cost to the families.

The effort flows from the parish’s aspirational value to become a racism-free and diverse community that reflects the city where we worship.
