A Welcoming Parish Family Rooted in Christ’s Love and Grace.

We are a welcoming and vibrant Roman Catholic community in the heart of Peckham Rye. Rooted in the love of Christ and the teachings of the Church, St. James the Great is a spiritual home for people of all ages, backgrounds, and walks of life.

We come together as one family to worship God in the Holy Eucharist, to grow in faith and holiness, and to support one another in living out the Gospel in our daily lives. Whether you are a lifelong Catholic, returning to the Church, or simply seeking, you are welcome here.
