St James the Greater is a vibrant place, a worshipping community which has much to offer people of all ages
The Church of St James the Greater, in the Diocese of Leicester, in the East Midlands, can be found just to the south of the centre of the City of Leicester, on the main A6, opposite Victoria Park.
With a design influenced by the great cathedral of Torcello in the Venetian lagoon, it was built between 1899 and 1914, to serve the expanding city of Leicester.
There is a thriving congregation, and the worship is varied, maintaining the best of the Anglican tradition, liturgically and musically, attracting people from all walks of life and from all over the county of Leicestershire and beyond.
The Ministry Team are here to offer support, advice and practical help at all the important times in family life.
Whether you want your baby baptised, a wedding service in church, need support when a death occurs, or just someone to talk to about the christian faith, the clergy are here to assist.
THE SHELL MAGAZINE
The Shell, our parish magazine is available in printed form, from the back of the church, as well as in electronic form as a PDF here on the website.
The November 2024 edition is available here.
