St. James Parish Community is a Roman Catholic parish, located about 60 km north of downtown Toronto, in south Simcoe County, Ontario
St. James, in Colgan, is recognized as the second oldest parish in the Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Toronto. It was established as a parish in 1830. This date, however, does not mark the beginning of the Catholic faith in the township. With the earliest Irish settlers, who came to Adjala in the early 1820's, came their Catholic faith.
