The Cathedral of St. James is an Episcopal cathedral in South Bend, Indiana, United States. It is the seat of the Diocese of Northern Indiana. The cathedral church and the adjoining parish hall were placed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1985.^[1]

History

St. James parish was established in 1868 and was the first Episcopalian congregation on the city.^[2] The present church building was designed by the architectural firm of Austin & Parker in the Gothic Revival style. It was completed in 1894.^[1] The parish hall was completed in 1920.^[3]^:29

Initially, the parish was part of the Diocese of Indiana and became a part of the Diocese of Michigan City when Indiana was split by the 1898 General Convention.^[4] Trinity Church in Michigan City was chosen as the diocesan cathedral at the first diocesan convention on April 25, 1899. It served that purpose until November 4, 1917 when it ceased being a cathedral. The name of the diocese was changed to the Diocese of Northern Indiana on May 20, 1919. St. James Church became the diocesan cathedral on January 30, 1957.^[4]
