St. James is a faith community where all are welcome, ministry is shared, and love is faithfully demonstrated
St. James Catholic Church has been a fixture in Seguin for over 140 years, serving the Catholic population in the Guadalupe County area alongside Our Lady of Guadalupe Catholic Church. We have over 900 registered families and are a part of the Archdiocese of San Antonio.
Our elementary school is the oldest facility still being utilized as a school in the state of Texas and serves 200 students in Prekindergarten – 8th grades.
With a rich and growing population, the community of St. James has over 40 ministries to support the church and the community at large. These ministries include Catholic Daughters of the Americas, St. Ann’s Circle, Life Teen and Edge youth ministries, the Rite of Christian Initiation of Adults, Religious Education, and much more.
All of these ministries and the day to day operations are under the direction of pastor Rev. Canon Stanislaw Fiuk, who is supported by full-time and part-time staff.
We invite all Catholics to celebrate Eucharist with us at any of our weekday and weekend Masses. Please visit our COVID-19 page for the latest updates on requirements for attending Masses in person.
Fr. Stan Fiuk (pronounced fyook) joined St. James as our pastor in July 2020.
Born in Puszno, Poland to Janina Jurak and Joseph Fiuk in 1962, he later pursued Holy Orders and was ordained on June 2, 1990 in Lublin, Poland by Bishop Boleslaw Pytak.
After his first year as a priest in Poland, he was then transferred to Ukraine, spending seven years at Marian Sanctuary in Ltichev.
After Ukraine, Fr. Stan worked missions in Bulo Bulo, Bolivia through arish Nuestra Senora de Copacabana of the Prelatura de Aiquile for six years. He then served as a confessor at the Sanctuary at Santa Maria delle Carceri in Prato (Tuscany) for a year.
Since then, Fr. Stan was assigned to the Archdiocese of San Antonio and has served at various parishes throughout the archdiocese.
Fr. Stan has written two books, …I am begging for forgiveness…, which is a re-writing of his doctoral thesis, and Mother of Mercy. You can request copies of his books from the parish office.
