James and Jess met after Mass on a Sunday in August. Fr. Colin introduced him and Alex (BFF, roommate at the time) to the group of the current YA where Jess was in conversation with our friends. The two roomies got more involved in the events and with the group soon after! Jess and James became quick friends and hung out.... a lot. As time went on (and other hurdles were crossed lol), they decided to go on a date and the rest is history.
