St. James Cathedral, Chicago

About this church

St. James Cathedral in Chicago celebrates Sunday Eucharist at 8:00, 9:00, and 11:00 a.m. The first is spoken, the 9:00 service is designed with families in mind, and the 11:00 service features the cathedral choir and is livestreamed. A 12:10 p.m. Eucharist is also offered Monday through Friday, making the cathedral accessible to downtown weekday visitors.

Children and youth formation accompanies the family-oriented Sunday schedule, while the visitor page explains the cathedral setting, worship, and arrival considerations. During the current organ-installation project, some summer services and programs may move to the Great Hall, so the published location deserves the same attention as the time. A first-time guest can choose the quiet spoken service, family service, or fuller choral liturgy according to preference. Drivers should review the map-and-parking page, and everyone should check the latest cathedral notice for room changes or reservations before traveling. The 11:00 livestream provides a practical preview of the choral service.
