St. James, Old South End

A closed parish. Nothing fancy, but it was servicable.
The building was constructed, I believe, in 1913.
I haven't seen a picture of the interior, but I've been told it was very nice. The "people's altar", made by parishioners and one of the best I've seen, and the statue of the parish patron, are at Immaculate Conception.

    I am former student of St. James school. What fond memories the pictures of the old church bring back. The most amazing thing was the fact that we gathered for Mass every morning at the church, before school, then the whole school would walk 2 by 2,class by class, the 4 or 5 blocks to the school building. What must the neighbors have thought?

    I too attended St.James and graduated in 1960.

    920 Colburn St. Off of South Ave. between Anthony Wayne Trail and Broadway. It is now Mount Ararat Missionary Baptist Church (address is listed now as 918 Colburn.)

    I'm not certain (probably a neighboring parish has them), but they are available online through Family Search database. Go to familysearch.org (membership is free), and select Search Records. Then in lower right, it will say "Find A Collection". Type in "Diocese of Toledo". That will bring up the Diocese Parish records. Click "Browse Images" and that will bring up a list of counties - select Lucas, then Toledo, then the parish.
