Welcome to the St James Parish

​St. James Parish acknowledges the Jaggera People of Coorparoo
as the traditional owners of the land on which we live. 
St James Parish Coorparoo is an Augustinian Parish and a member of Brisbane East Deanery within the Archdiocese of Brisbane. St James Parish has been an Augustinian Parish since 22 March 1952. You can learn about the Augustinians by visiting the Augustinian Links section of this website.  ​

Effective from 4pm Friday 8 October 2021, restrictions for the Local Government Areas (LGAs) of Brisbane, Gold Coast, Logan City, Moreton Bay, Palm Island and Townsville will ease to Stage 3 of the COVID Safe Roadmap.
Stage 3 Restrictions include the following:
Mask Usage: In South East Queensland you must carry a face mask with you at all times when you leave home, unless you have a lawful reason not to.
  • Outdoors: you must wear a mask when unable to stay 1.5m apart from people who are not part of your household.
  • Indoors: you must wear a mask in indoor spaces (including workplaces, but not your own home) unless it is unsafe or you can stay 1.5m apart from other people.
Masses and Gatherings:
  • Places of worship will be held to the following occupancy restrictions (this also applies to baptisms) with use of the COVID Safe Checklist.
    • 1 person per 2 square metres indoors
100% capacity for ticketed and allocated seating. Ticketed seating means a person is given a ticket with their seat number on it and will remain (as much as possible) in their allocated seat while at the place of worship.
  • Clergy and readers may remove masks only if they are 1.5m apart from other people. 
  • Parishioners must keep their masks while indoors unless unsafe to do so or they can stay 1.5m apart from other people who are not from their own home.
  • Choirs and all cantors will be required to keep their masks on while singing as singing remains a high risk activity.  A cantor may remove the mask to sing only if they can remain 7 metres apart from other people.

    • 1 person per 2 square metres for areas open to or used by guests or patrons, or
