Published: February 2, 2007
SALEM - St. James Parish will receive $3,100 from the former St. Joseph Parish under a plan by the Archdiocese of Boston to transfer $3 million from the coffers of closed Catholic parishes.
The Rev. John Sheridan, pastor of St. James, said the funds, which are earmarked for handicapped access, are expected to go into a fund to build a new lift for the church steps. Currently, the lift does not work and the church is not accessible to many disabled and elderly people.
