Our Holy Week and Easter were fantastic! Thank you to all who joined us!
Happy Easter everyone!
On behalf of St. James Cathedral, we want to thank all volunteers, musicians, and others who worked so hard to create beautiful events and liturgies.
We are so grateful for you all. We welcomed around 2000 people throughout our Holy Week and Easter Services who experienced the joy of Easter in our Cathedral!

Easter Egg Hunt 2024:
On behalf of the Children’s Ministry, we want to take this opportunity to thank you all for coming out to our 2nd annual Easter Egg Hunt at St. James Cathedral. We are so happy you came!
Thank you to the children who kept us entertained with their jokes! We believe we had approximately 400 families come through. The Cathedral was packed and the volunteers, staff, clergy, and the people who attend St James regularly were so excited to see so many children and families from our community in the Cathedral.
If you would like to receive information about upcoming family events and information about our Sunday School program at the 9:00am and 11:00am services (We have police vulnerable sector screened teachers), click here. You can unsubscribe at any time.
