St. James Catholic Church is a Roman Catholic Church partnered with the Newman Center. They have a mass in Spanish on Sundays at 5:00 pm. If you have an interest in joining the Catholic Church contact the RCIA. They also have an elementary school, St. James Catholic School located adjacent to the church. There are both indoor and outdoor Stations of the Cross.

It is located near the Davis Branch Library.

The original Catholic Church building was built in 1875. Archbishop Joseph S. Alemany dedicated the church to honor Saint James on June 10, 1881. Sadly, the building burned down in 1933. It was located at the northeast corner of 3rd Street and I Street. The interior design of the current building (which was remodeled in the early 2000's) resembles a protestant or evangelical church more than a traditional Catholic one. Very bright, welcoming, and modern, unlike that mysterious, gothic stereotype of usual Catholic churches. Of course, if you are into that kind of architecture, the beautiful Cathedral of the Blessed Sacrament in Downtown Sacramento should be up your alley.
