St. James the Greater Catholic Mission
The St. James the Greater Catholic Mission is a historically African-American church complex at 3087 Ritter Road in southern Colleton County, South Carolina. The complex includes a shingled Gothic Revival church built in 1935, a small school building dating to 1901, and cemetery with burials dating back to 1835. The site has been used since 1833 by an African-American congregation, and is extremely rare for its remarkably intact campus.[2]
