    Are there many Catholic churches dedicated to St James in the US? Here, he's an Anglican saint, as it were.

    There is the (RC) church of St James Forest Lodge ( just a spit from Sydney University) where I attended ( more off than on) 1972-77

    Off the top of my head the only RC church dedicated to St James in Oz that I can think of….

    There are at least three Roman Catholic cathedrals dedicated to St. James in the US—Brooklyn, Orlando and Seattle. And I know of one parish church in this diocese and one in a neighboring diocese dedicated to St. James.

    But yes, where I am, St. James is a fairly common dedication for Episcopal churches, but doesn’t seem nearly as common for Catholic churches.

    We won't carry this tangent too far, now, will we? Let's limit our comments to the service reported on.

    Was congregational singing banned? Was the school connected with the Church?
    Tangentially (sorry) is San Diego strong among those of Spanish heritage? Thinking of Compostella.

    According to the church’s website, yes.

    Diego? Iago surely? (or are they the same?)

    I believe Iago is Galician and Diego Castilian.

    And in any case, you know the saint in question as James.
    Now, back to the review of the service.
