Notes & News from the Cathedral of Saint James, South Bend
Interested in taking part in a listening session with the Reunification Discernment Committee? Come to the Cathedral Conference Room tomorrow morning at 10:30.
The Episcopal Diocese of Northern Indiana and The Episcopal Diocese of Indianapolis are engaged in a discernment process about possible reunification. To learn more about this important work for the Episcopal Church in Indiana, click here.
The Discernment Committee is currently conducting a series of online listening sessions. If you would prefer to participate in an in-person listening session, the Cathedral of Saint James is hosting one tomorrow morning, January 27. Please use the registration link below to let us (the Cathedral) know you are coming. Please DO NOT register for the concurrent online session; we are already registered as a group.
We look forward to our conversation!

2024 Chili Contest
Tomorrow!
Saturday, January 27 at 5:00 pm
in Cathedral Hall
Get out those chili recipes, grab your wooden spoon, and fire up the crock pot! The Annual Saint James Chili Contest returns to Cathedral Hall tomorrow evening: Saturday, January 27.
How It Works
Contestants make a pot (about a gallon) of their best chili, carry it to the Cathedral in a crock pot or other similar self-warming apparatus, decorate a table, and prepare to serve. We provide the sampling cups, bowls, and utensils. Guests (not cooks) pay an admission fee ($8/person), sample all of the chili they care to, and cast ballots for their favorites. At the end of the evening, the ballots are counted and winners receive exceptionally invaluable prizes + bragging rights. Beer, wine, and soft drinks are available for purchase. Water is free. BYOT (Bring Your Own Tums).
The Clergy Discretionary Fund
It’s all for a good cause! Proceeds benefit the Cathedral's Clergy Discretionary Fund which supports our direct ministry to the poor. So come on out, tantalize (or terrorize) your taste buds, and help us help others make it through the winter cold.
Spice Up the Bleak Midwinter!
Set-up at 4 pm; Doors open at 5 pm; Balloting until 6:30 pm; Awards at 6:50 pm.
