Welcome

Welcome to our site! St. James' Cathedral stands in the heart of a busy and multicultural city as a reminder of God's generosity and hospitality. We seek to be a voice of reconciliation in a sometimes hostile world, a place of pilgrimage for those who seek healing and spiritual transformation, a place for dialogue and action on issues of social and political concern. I hope that your visit to our site, no matter how brief, may be a time to enjoy the beauty and peace of this special place.

-The Very Reverend Douglas Stoute, Dean of Toronto & Rector of St. James' Cathedral

Thanks!

St. James is so fortunate to have M&M Meat Shop as a neighbour! On August 18 and 19 BBQs were held which raised over $700 in support of our Outreach program!
