This Week at St. James: December 23, 2021
Christmas at the Cathedral
The Clergy and Staff of the Cathedral wish you a very merry Christmas!

We offer three opportunities for in person worship for Christmas: our 4 p.m. Christmas Eve Pageant, our 11 p.m. Midnight Mass with Choral prelude at 10:30 p.m., and Christmas Day Eucharist at 10 a.m. Masks are required for all.

PLEASE NOTE: The two Sundays after Christmas, we will offer ONE service ONLY at 11 a.m.
For those who are unable to be present, our 11 p.m. Midnight Mass and 10 a.m. Christmas Morning Eucharist will be live-streamed on our streaming webpage or YouTube.
Parenting from Imperfection
In today's #SermonOfTheDay we hear about the story of John the Baptist's birth. In the midst of his birth, the Rev. Anna Broadbent explores the short comings of his father Zechariah and reflects on the struggles of trying to be a "perfect parent".
Last Year's Nativity Pageant
In case you are unable to join us in person for this year's Nativity Pageant, which will not be live-streamed, below is last year's recorded pageant which was a huge hit! Merry Christmas!
