SAINT JAMES THE LESS CHURCH IN SAVANNAH STUNNING RENOVATION

The pastor of Saint James the Less Church in Savannah deserves kudos for the wonderful renovation of its 1980’s very modern church building. I was the MC for Bishop Raymond Lessard who consecrated the new church in the late 1980’s. It was a typical design for a new church in the late 80’s.

The pastor (seen in the last photo speaking from the ambo) is Fr. Dan Firmin, also Vicar General for the Diocese of Savannah. He was one of my altar boys at the Church of the Most Holy Trinity in Augusta between 1991 and about 1998 or so. He studied to become a priest at the North American College in Rome. When I became pastor of St. Joseph Church in Macon in 2004, he was one of two newly ordained parochial vicars who were assigned with me to St. Joseph Church.

He is battling a very serious health issue and with the grace of God and the prayers of so many in his family and in the Church, he is doing amazingly, and I mean amazingly, well. Please say a prayer for his continuing healing. God bless him!
