User Reviews of St James Catholic Church

This WAS my Home

I find it very odd that someone would write a review (This is My Home) criticizing people for doing exactly what they are doing - writing an analysis of how they perceive their parish. This site is not just...

This is My Home

It has been interesting to not only read the reviews on here but also on the "save your parish" webpage recommended in one of the reviews. I feel like I'm in a completely different parish than most of those...

Dissappointed in School

I have had my children in St. James for several years. I was happy with their education up until this year. Currently there are unqualified (no teaching ceritificates) teachers. I transfered them out to a new...

Torn

I was an active member of St. James community for many years. I have struggled through the last two years to keep my faith under Father's Felix's reign. Unfortunately I had to change churches as I could no...

St. James is Exclusive Not Inclusive

I recently moved into the area and started attending St. James and another church which I will not name since I don't want this to be about comparing priests. I can only say that I am glad that we as Catholics...

Do Not Despair

Does anyone else notice how the positive reviews in this blog appear to be scripted and contrived? There is one that sounds like a paid announcement, another that sounds like it was one of Fr. Felix's sermons....

Fr. Felix is such a blessing!

I could not possibly rate St. James Parish more highly. My experiences have been absolutely wonderful, especially with Father Felix, who is wholeheartedly devoted to ministering to all of the needs of all his...

I love this church

We have been parishoners for 2 years now and moved to Denver from the east coast. We go to St James _because_ of Father Medina. I feel that he is a breathe of fresh air in a parish that otherwise would be...

Loved or Hated!

A friend of mine that is a monk once told me that neocats are either loved or hated. From the reviews this is correct. It's interesting to see that most the reviewers that 'love' the parish and pastor have...

Who will I serve today?

The Truth will set you free I am a sinner and I don't mind hearing that fact in my Church ~ because the truth is that I am forgiven. Nothing that I could ever do will save me ~ only MY LORD JESUS CHRIST. I...

Place of Great Faith

St James has been a beautiful community for my family. We are a non traditional family (single parent) and have been welcomed with open arms. In the last few years I have met many people in the parish and work...

Sad to Leave St. James

I too, will be sending back my church envelopes when next received as I have watched a caring and giving community slowly become a culture of fear. Fear of voicing one's concerns, fear of questioning, fear of...

Changing churches

Our family is leaving St. James and enrolling in a new parish. We are tired of leaving Mass with a headache from Father Felix's "enthusiasm". He needs to tone down his voice and deliver God's message in a...

Amazing Church and School

I read some of the other reviews and I am astonished by what was said. We have been attending this church for a couple of years. We were members of another great Catholic church, but switched to St James...

A church in turmoil

The St. James school and church is going through a complete metamorophis. Be very wary for considering this community as it is now. There seems to be no consideration for the past traditions and past...

nonneocats not welcomed

Our beloved church and school are being destroyed by Fr Felix and Carol Hovell. We have been in this loving community for 13 years until recently. Fr Felix and Carol Hovell have pitted parent against parent...

no longer a catholic church

My family WAS members of St. James for 20 years. It was a loving community. Then Father Felix and Carol Hovell (princpal) came. Now it is a lying, back stabbing, uncristian community. Anyone who has been in...

St. James Parish/School

I was a St. James Parishioner for YEARS, my daughter went to school there for four years, until this year. I was so enamored by the community and the parish, until Fr. Felix. I even adored Fr. Felix for a...

Be Doers of the Word not Hearers Only

If there were a zero star rating availiable I would use it. My beloved Parish and School are "circling the drain". The unchristian like treatment of anyone who dares to question the Pastor or Principal is...

I love this church

Our family loves this church and Father Felix, we can always find something meaningful in his powerful sermons. If you are looking for spiritual fulfillment we recommend St James.

It is really CATHOLIC anymore?

Two EXCELLENT, WELL RESPECTED AND LOVED staff members have been unfairly fired from the 'Catholic' school for helping others (the economy shouldn't discourage us from helping others). Both were fired less then...

Community being torn apart! ~ how can this still have 3.5 stars when over half the reviews are 1 star?

Father Felix is ruining the St. James community! He's turning parishioners against one another because some are starting to believe in 'The Way' while others don't. If you don't believe in 'The Way' then...

Great Church and Great School

I couldn't agree with the other review of this church more. It has brought me back to the faith of my childhood. My son also goes to St James Catholic School and I have been very impressed. Father Felix is...

Inspiring Preaching at St. James Church

I am new to the area and attended St. James since it was the closest Catholic church in my house. The Mass was reverent and music at 8:00 mass very good, one of the choir member's voice sounded like "Ariel",...
