Cathedral of St. James, Episcopal cathedral in South Bend, Indiana, United States
The Cathedral of St. James is an Episcopal cathedral in South Bend, Indiana, United States. It serves as the seat of the Diocese of Northern Indiana and was built in the Gothic Revival style.
Construction of the cathedral began in 1868, shortly after St. James Parish was established as the first Episcopal congregation in South Bend. The building was completed in 1894, and the adjoining parish hall was finished in 1920.
The cathedral is an active parish where the local Episcopal community gathers for worship and events. Its name, St. James, refers to the apostle James, and the building holds a central place in the life of the diocese.
The cathedral is easy to find in downtown South Bend, close to other landmarks. Visitors can enter through the main doors on weekdays, and the staff are happy to answer questions.
The cathedral gained attention when former South Bend mayor Pete Buttigieg married his husband there in 2018. It is also listed on the National Register of Historic Places.
