St James, in Payette Idaho, is within the greater metropolitan area of Ontario, Oregon, which is part of the Treasure Valley. It is about an hour outside of Boise.  Communities around Payette such as Fruitland and Weiser, provide a wide choice of vendors and recreation opportunities for your event. 

Retreats

Yoga Session

St James is a sacred space - perfect for prayer, meditation, yoga or other spiritual pursuits. At present, our retreats are limited to those organized by the Episcopal Church of Idaho.  However, we are open to new retreat ideas brought to us by retreat leaders.

Events
