1988: ST. JAMES P.E. CHURCH: IN THE BEGINNING

Before I converted to Catholicism, I was a communicant at St. James when the church was located on Greenwood and South Logan Avenues. The legendary church has a fascinating history, going back to its very earliest years to the "Wigwam" over on E. State Street in the Wilbur section of Trenton. "White Flight" resulted in the church re-locating way out in the suburbs down South Broad Street near Allentown.

BEFORE THEY MOVED INTO THIS BUILDING ON EAST STATE STREET NEAR GARFIELD, ST. JAMES HELD SERVICES AT "THE WIGWAM" ON EAST STATE STREET IN THE WILBUR SECTION OF TRENTON. BEFORE MOVING TO THE ALLENTOWN-HAMILTON BORDER, ST. JAMES WAS LOCATED ON GREENWOOD AND SO. LOGAN AVENUE. I WAS A PARISHIONER AT ST. JAMES WHEN I WAS A BOY. I CONVERTED TO ROMAN CATHOLIC FAITH IN THE EARLY 1960'S.THE BUILDING IN THE GRAPHIC STILL EXISTS, NOW THE HOME OF THE REHEBOTH CHURCH.
