What could be better after a wonderful Christmas feast than a brisk walk in the woods? The crowd from 2021 is pictured – let’s see your smiling face in the bunch this year! We’ll gather in the St James parking lot and trek through the forest preserve for a family- friendly (but not stroller-friendly) approx. 2-hour hike that will end with hot chocolate in the Hall. Dress for the weather and the probability of mud. The more the merrier!Read More -

Sunday Mass
Join the faithful of St James at Sag Bridge for Sunday Mass. The church usually fills up, so we offer closed circuit TV of the Mass in the upper and lower level of Sag Hall, and on the main and lower levels of the rectory. The room on the main level serves as a good "cry room." Of course, in good weather, you are welcome to listen to the Mass anywhere on campus thanks to our wonderful loudspeakers. Come worship!
Sunday Mass Schedule: 8:15am, 10:00am, and 12:00pm
(The noon Mass will follow the Missal of 1962, formerly referred to as a Traditional Latin Mass, except on the first Sunday of each month, during the Triduum, and on Easter, Pentecost, and Christmas. On these days the noon Mass will be a Novus Ordo Mass, celebrated in Latin.)
Mass videos can be found on our Rumble page by following this link.
