Why we like St. James the Greater Catholic Church

St. James the Greater Catholic Church fully earns its place as the #4 Spanish-speaking church in Oklahoma City through decades of dedicated spiritual ministry, extensive dual-language programming, and deep-rooted community outreach in southwest Oklahoma City. Established over 70 years ago, the parish stands out for its robust commitment to the local Hispanic community, offering multiple Spanish-language weekend and weekday Masses, complete bilingual sacramental preparation, and specialized adult faith formation courses in Spanish. Beyond liturgical services, the parish fosters complete multi-generational development by operating an affiliated Catholic school, hosting livestreamed services for homebound parishioners, and leading broad community-building efforts such as its annual Fall Festival and local charitable initiatives. This combination of deep pastoral experience, accessible worship options, and comprehensive family support makes St. James the Greater a trusted anchor for Spanish-speaking families seeking an authentic, welcoming faith home.
