Young Adults

The Cathedral Young Adults group is a warm and diverse community of people in their twenties and thirties who seek meaningful conversation about topics that are culturally resonant and personally enriching. Our group includes undergraduate and graduate students, new professionals, and young people in every walk of life. The community meets monthly for faith formation and fellowship over a meal. We welcome participants who are regular members of St. James, attendees of other parishes seeking young adults community, newcomers, and everyone in between. No prior experience, knowledge, or attendance is required. To learn more, message Jacob Perkins.

Up Next:

December 13: 12:30-3:00pm, lunch included

The Cathedral Young Adults & Friends gather for our Autumn 2026 Prayer Workshop Series! We're accustomed to liturgical prayer in Church, but how else can we pray? Come unlock experiential ways to pray with your imagination, mind, and body!

This month: Embodied Prayer with the Rev. Craig Mueller
Learn how to walk the labyrinth, breathing prayers, and other embodied practices. We'll stop by the Driehaus Museum to join our Cathedral choirs for Carols & Cocoa, and return to St. James for lunch!

RSVP Here!
