Regarding St. James Church (Ferndale)

On October 21, 2024, Archbishop Allen Vigneron issued a decree that relegates Saint James Church, Ferndale, to secular but not unbecoming use; that is, the building will no longer be used as a church. The decision takes effect on November 4, 2024. A certified copy of the decree may be obtained by contacting the Our Mother of Perpetual Help Parish Office, Oak Park.
