Church of St. James the Greater, Episcopal church in Bristol, Pennsylvania
The church building exhibits neo-Gothic architecture with stained glass windows and design elements influenced by European cathedral traditions.
The church was first established as a parish in 1850, making it the first Catholic parish west of the Schuylkill River in Philadelphia County.
The Newman Ministry at the church represents the first Newman Center in the United States, established in 1893 at the University of Pennsylvania.
The church maintains regular worship services, community events, and offers an audio guide divided into six segments for visitors to explore the building.
In 1976, St. Agatha's Church merged with St. James, creating a combined parish that serves under the guidance of two patron saints.
