Saint James Antiochian Orthodox
Church Of Modesto

Women’s Group

The women’s group of St. James has chosen St. Thekla as its patroness.

Saint Thekla was a disciple and companion of the Apostle Paul in the 1st century. She is given the title “Equal-to-the-Apostles” because she accompanied St. Paul in founding churches and because her witness converted so many others to Christ. She was the first woman martyr for the Christian Faith.


We sincerely hope you consider joining us. We work and laugh heartily together, and it makes for the most beautiful friendships and lasting memories!  We thrive by God’s grace as he blesses our volunteer efforts!

Please consult our monthly church calendar and bulletin for meeting dates.
