    • Fr James Mayworm

      Born in Bay City...a life-time Michigander, attended St. Fred's High School in Pontiac, Sacred Heart Seminar in Detroit and St. John's Seminary in Plymouth.

      Always a priest of the Archdiocese of Detroit, Fr. Jim has served in 12 parishes during his 56 years of ministry. He spent 25 of those years part-timing in radio and TV evangelism.

      He retired, although working weekends, for 4 ½ years in Florida. God Himself called Fr. Jim back to full-time work in Detroit for the past 9 years. The best time of his career has been pastoring at St. Ben's.

      Father's passion is preaching and celebrating mass with his people. He is intrigued by outer space since this keeps stretching his notion of our Magnificent God. He enjoyed travelling the world until elder years have restricted him from gadding about so much. His time alone and with his sister in prayer each day has become invaluable to Fr. Jim, as have daily hours of work-related reading. He also enjoys reading mysteries, movies and socializing with his parish family.

      WHY ST. BEN'S?

      Great worship, good music and preaching, loving parishioners who are working at becoming more and more open with visitors and newcomers.

      A creative staff who work well together, enjoy each other, and are supportive of one another, especially their pastor!

      The people have a good sense of humor especially when Fr. Jim shares his puns (short for punishment?)

      Parishioners are open to new ideas, especially when it comes to helping brothers and sister in need.
