St. Agatha – St. James Church (formerly St. James Church) is a Roman Catholic church in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. It was originally established in 1851 as The Church of St. James the Greater until the original building was demolished in 1881. Construction of the current building, designed by Philadelphia architect Edwin Forrest Durang, began on October 16, 1881 and was completed on the same day in 1887.
The church underwent additions in 1930, which included electric lights, and another complete renovation in 2003.
Nearby St. Agatha's Church (at 38th and Spring Garden Streets in Powelton Village) was closed in 1976, and its parish was merged into that of the former St. James Church, which was then renamed St. Agatha – St. James.[1]
The current pastor is Father James McGuinn.
