During the pandemic, Saint James sought virtual ways to bring a familiar pattern of worship to our community at a time when we could not gather in person.
Compline, which is typically sung on Sunday nights by alternating teams of the Chapel Choir, was sung virtually by Jimmy James '21 and Kitty Zhou '20 towards the beginning of our closure.
Each day throughout Holy Week we emailed the daily collect along with a video recording of the Chapel Choir. We continued to do this each Sunday through the remainder of the school year.
Father Montgomery, SJS Chaplain, shared weekly "Blessed Little Thought" sermons via video.
Each Friday during the school year we hold a contemplative chapel service, which includes a scripture reading, silent reflection, prayer, and a performance by one of our student musicians. We held this service virtually while the campus was closed, featuring our talented students who recorded themselves at home singing or playing the piano or flute. The Chapel Choir and Boys' A Capella group were also featured.
