Young Adults
The young adults minsitry is a warm and inviting community of people in their twenties and thirties who seek meaningful conversation about topics that are culturally relevant and personally enriching. The group regularly volunteers, worships, and engages in fellowship over a meal. The young adults group is welcoming to all, whether you are new to St. James or The Episcopal Church or you have been a member for years. If you would like to learn more, email Jacob Perkins.

All St. James Cathedral Young Adults (20s-30s) are invited as we kick off the 2026-27 program year with Holy Cross Day! Why celebrate the cross, an instrument of pain, with its own feast day? Join us to explore more deeply this feast, sharing a variety of reflections and expressions of what this day seeks to teach us.
After lunch, we have an optional field trip to the Monastery of the Holy Crossin Bridgeport, a Roman Catholic Contemplative Benedictine community here in Chicago. We are invited to join them for First Vespers at 5:15pm on this, their Feast of Title.
