This church in South Deerfield, Massachusetts, was built in 1848, as a Congregational Church.  It was purchased by the Catholic Society in 1871, was moved further south on the main street, and renamed when Saint James Parish was founded in 1895. The box pews and tin ceiling are reminders of the building’s 19th century origins, but the windows are now stained glass and the original steeple has been replaced by a dome with a cross. Nationally-known artist Augustus Vincent Tack, a summer resident of Deerfield, painted a mural behind the altar depicting the stations of the cross. The congregation was originally Irish, but is described by the present priest as a “League of Nations.”
