Love St. James!. I moved to Denver earlier this summer and have been so pleased with St. James. The community is super friendly, there's an adoration chapel that's open most of the week. I love listening to Fr. Felix's homilies. They totally inspire me to be a better person. I would recommend this parish to anyone!…
Questions???.
Will criticizing others help me on my journey towards eternal beatitude?
Will judging others help me on my journey towards eternal beatitude?
Will my concentrating on the sins of others help me on my journey towards eternal beatitude?
Will my not recognizing that I am a sinner help me on my journey towards ethernal beatitude?
Will hearing that I am a sinner help me on my journey towards eternal beatitude?
Will my complaining about being pushed aside, ignored and made to feel like a second class citizen help me on my journey towards eternal beatitude?
If I am shunned and alienated, can great good come of this?
If I am persecuted, can great good come of this?
Is Jesus Christ, He who is innocent, chastized, put down, ridiculed, treated as a second or third class citizen ignored?
Is the way Jesus is treated too good for me?…
St. James is a great church to visit. I have attended Mass at St. James three times as a visitor, and I am always impressed with Fr. Felix. He speaks the teachings of our faith strongly but without being agressive. Teaching the faith is his job. How could anyone object to hearing Catholic teaching at a Catholic church? Personally, I have found him to be warm and friendly, concerened for the poor and disadvantaged, and loving towards his parishioners. I don't understand any of the objections below nor do I find them to be accurate.…
Father Felix is a Shepherd not a Sheep!.
I am not in the Neocatechumenal Way, and never have I felt left out or pressured to join it. I don't know where people are getting that.
Being a Christian, a follower of Christ is a tough thing, and we need to know this, or else we will be the worst of hypocrites. Father Felix preaches a fiery homily, but if you want to feel good about everything no matter what is actually happening, watch Good Morning America or join a golf club.
As unfortunate as it is, it seems to me that the mixed reviews are due to people's political ideologies (i.e. liberal democrats) being challenged by what our faith, and Father Felix teach.
The neighborhood of St. James, seems to be a mixture of upper class liberals and Hispanics, thus the inherent conflict.
If you are a liberal and are orthodox, you will have no problem at St. James, for no party politics are preached. If you are a social liberal, then you probably won't like it, because Father Felix makes no bones about the absolute need to fight the moral corruption that goes along with modern American liberalism.…
Spirtually Fulfilling - Positive Community.
I really love the school and church. I read these comments and have no idea where the negative reviews are coming from. I do not belong to the NC community but have always felt like I belong to the
St James community. The negative reviews are very contrary to anything I have seen at the church and school.
The pastor (Fr. Felix) is truly a man of God and has been there for me during my time of need and tragedy. He is compassionate and he is also been very helpful to my spiritual growth. His sermons are moving and actually guide me to a better life.
The school has been terrific for my son, he is learning at rates I have never seen before, he has a strong core of friends and there seems to be little of the issues you see at all schools such as teasing and bullying.
Please check out the church and school for yourself and soon you will find that this is a strong caring community.…
