Dear brothers and sisters in Christ,

I welcome you to this website of the Cathedral-Basilica of St. James in Downtown Brooklyn. Through the following pages you will learn not only practical information regarding our worship and activities, but also some of the splendid history and treasures of this church.

Our parish community is small but vibrant. It is rich in its diversity, faith and mutual care. Parishioners know each other well and the Sunday gathering for Eucharist and fellowship testifies to their maintaining the bond of love for God and neighbor that has characterized this parish since 1822.

Please know that you are always most welcome here on Sundays and weekdays. You will experience a community rooted in the tradition of the Catholic Church and receiving all in the spirit of Christian hospitality.

May God bless you always.

Msgr. John Strynkowski

Rector
