Today, I believe God must smile on how this church is now used. Since its closing (and the closing of nearby St. Gerard's Church), the Bailey/Kensington food bank is housed in St. James. As one who grew up in this parish and attended countless liturgies, it struck me how appropriate it is that this holy ground is now used to help feed a local community marked by extreme poverty. The place where we put the food bags together before distributing them to the people, is the same spot where the Mass collection money used to be counted by the church ushers. The idea of serving God's people has come full circle and it seems the absolute right thing to be doing! Elinor Malone Rice member of St. James Church community 1942 - 1965

Looks very modern. Is this still in use by another congregation?

St. James Church is now closed. The last Mass was on Saturday, December 29, 2007. An article appeared in the Buffalo News on the closing, published on Sunday, December 30 called "Bell tolls three times at final Mass as St. James closes after 91 years," by Jay Tokasz.
