Our parish in Tupelo has the Apostle St James the Greater as our patron saint. Many of us did not realize how he is depicted in the statue in the vestibule of our church as St James the pilgrim, holding a pilgrim's staff, carrying the gourd of water, and having a shell on his pilgrim's cape. May the prayers and intercessions of St James guide and lead us on our own pilgrimage journey.
This is a blog of homilies, reflections, and photos from a Roman Catholic priest serving in the Diocese of Jackson in the state of Mississippi. Currently, I am the pastor of Holy Savior in Clinton and Immaculate Conception in Raymond. I have served as Vicar General of the Diocese since July 2019. I also serve as Catholic chaplain in the federal prison in Yazoo City and the state prison in Pearl.
