Seven Last Words

Good Friday, April 18 at 6:30 p.m.

Choral Meditation on the Seven Last Words from the Cross

sung by the Cathedral Choristers

The Cathedral Choristers lead a one-hour service of devotion, reflecting on the Seven Last Words through music and poetry. In Christ's final moments, we hear words of comfort and forgiveness and a spirit of hope in face of despair.

Plan your visit

When you visit St. James Cathedral during Advent and Christmas, expect to receive a warm welcome! Whether you are a committed follower of Christ, a first-time visitor who is joining a friend, or fall somewhere in between, you're not just welcome, you belong.

It is not uncommon for people to either dress casually or formally when visiting the Cathedral. Our priority is that you to feel comfortable. Children are always welcome at St. James. There is an open space to the front right of the pews for children to play under your supervision and a changing station for parents of our youngest members under the church in the restrooms.

The cathedral is accessible to people with limited mobility. An access ramp is located at the west end of the building, 65 E. Huron St.
